Jesus

Jesus is what makes us truly alive. If our purpose in life has nothing to do with Him, are we alive? I have never had this feeling of belonging even when my worries and anxieties take over, I was in very bad shape before I let Jesus come into my life. I was living in sin and I thought taht there's no way I can get forgiveness for the wrongs I did, but through the Mercy and the Grace of God, I am a whole person today. I can't thank Him enough for what He's done for me. He gave me a second loving man who has never beaten me or called me names. I praise God for bringing Robert into my life. I couldn't trust him at first cause I thought or said the wrong thing I'd get beaten and called every vile name you could think of. I was married 32 years to my childern's Dad and it was hell on earth. Then after my childern all left home and got their own families, about 2 years later We had a big fight and he made me get my things and get out. He also made me sign over our hose our rental property our travel trailer and boat and 27,000.00 in a safety deposite box. I left with the clothes i had and the gifts my childern gave me and my car. I thought I had no place to go and no money. I didn't know what to do but my oldest daughter called and told me to come and live with them. She let me use 2 rooms one for a living room and the other for my bedroom and we shared the kitchen and bathroom. I lived with her over a year and I was at peace, but I still didn't give my life to Jesus. I was living with my daughter for 6 mos. when I hurt my back at work, I had 2 herniated discs and I had back surgery. God brought me through without any complications, and I give praise to the doctor because before I went in to the or he had my childern and i hold hands and he sid the most beautiful prayer for God to be ther and direct the surgeons hands, and God brought me through. I had been home about 3 weeks when a friend of mine called and asked if I'd go to a club where her boy friend was playing in the band, she wanted me to make sure he didn't do anything wrong, I told her I really didn't feel like it but she had to work. So I finally went and I was sitting there and this tall guy came and set down he asked me what I was drinking and I said coke. He looked surprised. Any way the man I'm with now is who God brought into my life. We have been married 15 years in August and I give thanks to God for bring him to me. I finally gave my life over to God and I have been baptized in the Holy Spitit and the gift of tongues. God is my Shelter and my Rock, without Him I couldn't make it, He the reason I'm here today. God Bless Ida
