My story with God
I was raised Catholic till I was 16 and confirmed. I knew about God, traditions and Mary. I was raised by a divorced Roman Catholic Mother. My earthly father never there and 5 siblings. At 16, I rebelled, went my own way, in the world.
At 25, what started off a suicide letter turned out to be a letter addressing God and asking for his help. I was filled with a quench for the bible, read it and realized the religious lies I was taught. I began looking for a church to attend. The ones I found, asked for money, told me I had to speak in toungues or couldnt be saved, or people fell on the floor and were all over the place. I gave up and went back into the world.
At 31, I cried out to God, to show me who he was, so I could get to know him. I was miserable, a workaholic and never knew an earthly father, so I did not know how to reach him. I was directed to a bible study about the many names of God and getting to know him. Two scriptures repeated in my mind: Knock and the door will be opened, seek and you will find and You will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
I asked for help to find a church. I had a dream, my Aunt threw a blanket on me. I called her. She told me she was always covering me in prayer and gave me advice to find a bible believing church and one that believd in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
I found a Four Square Gospel Church, heard the sermon about the prodical son returning to his father and coming home. Something or someone unseen lifted me up from the pew and I found myself being brought to my feet. I cried in mourning and knew God Loved me and wanted me all along. His truth found me and I grasped it firmly. I beleived in Jesus Christ as my savoir, repented of my sins and was born-again, was baptized and noone could tear the bible from me.
Soon, life's burdens overwhelmed me. I was working two jobs and as a single mother with two teenage children who wore me out, I was coming apart at the seams. I was rear ended in a car accident, had excruciating pain on a daily basis from my right shoulder, neck and arm. Like I said, Life hit me from all angles. Instead of turning to God I turned to myself, and found yet a third job to pay for everything. I lacked sleep, did not eat right and was overwhelmed by the accuser and isolated myself from all, including Jesus. I left him, he never left me.
Eight years later, very lonely and tired of doing life myself, I met a man and married him within a month, because I knew I could not return to my old self, my past and have sexual relations without being married. He said he was a Christian, and baptized, but I found out, by his fruit he was not born again. Eight years have gone by, with no church, no bible and no fellowship, just wordly things and I was discusted, miserable and lonely. I missed God so much.
A whole house filled with people who were mostly in the world would be over, partying and I would find myself standing for isolated moments in my hallway secretly crying to God, and begging him to come get me, to not let me go and help me.
Three months ago, my adult son, found his relationship with Jesus and by his testimony rekindled the fire within me and I stepped back onto the narrow path and continued my journey with my Lord and Savoir. My husband is taking baby steps and a little upset that I literaly ran back to God and am firmly on the path that he is not ready to take. So this is where I am at this moment.
i took this from someone's page. i am sharing it with you.
Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they? Matt. 6:26
Hello Donnaahoo, Thanks for the warm comments and thanks for the compliment on my pics. I have the 23rd Psalm as my wallpaper on my computer at work. I Love to be able to see at during the day. It gives me a chance to think about our Lord often as the day goes by. My Harley is sitting in my garage waiting for Spring. I have what's called "Parked Motorcycle Syndrome". But , I know I will recover when the snow and sandy steets are gone. I Love riding and talking to GOD. I do get some strange looks sometimes. But I just smile and wave. My wife is my navigator. Jesus is the pilot and I go where my Lord leads me.
Donnaahoo,
How are you? How is the bible study going with your sisters and you? Praise God, I hope to hear from you soon.
Remember that with God all things are possible.
Isaiah 40:31---OH I know what you mean! God is Awesome!....we must wait on Him, because He works everything together for good, for those who Love Him AND are called according to His purpose.
Thank you for thinking of me...I am doing great.... But I can always do with more prayers, so thank you.
I absolutely love when I get to meet new brothers and sisters in Christ.
Thank you so much for the encouraging note.

Donnaahoo, I really love your testimony, I love God so much for not giving up on you and what a sweet godly aunt you have, you are really blessed and how you had a dream and called her, wow, it is awesome and finally the best of all is that your son serving jesus, wow, I love it. May you dwell in the house of the Lord forever and thank you so much for accepting me to be your friend. The Lord bless you always.
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and
Renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
Make a new heart in me, My God! Create it out of Your Pureness! (2 Cor. 5:17) Make my heart brand new so that it is totally pure and without anything bad. Dear God, make a new and faithful spirit inside of me. Give me Your Holy Spirit that I may be faithful to you in all things!! (John 3:1-21) Have my heart stick to you no matter what comes my way!!
Wow, My heart goes out to you. I'd suggest that you show and tell your husband that you love him a lot - so he doesn't see God as a rival for your attention but rather as a source for you to love him even more.
God bless.
Don
