My Salvation Testimony

0
0

When I was in 6th grade, my father took me to several different denominational churches over a 6 month period. To be honest, it left me very confused. Every church we went to was praying to the same God and used the same Bible but, if you didn't do it their way... you were wrong.

I didn't go back to church until 2010.

After going through abusive marriages and many struggles, my life was finally on track. I was marrying the most amazing man I had ever met, we moved into our dream house, we were blending our families together, and life was good. My life was so blessed that I felt like I HAD to go to church and say thank you God. Thank you for this life.

So occasionally I would go to church and listen to the stories of the Bible. It was very confusing for me because up until that point, I had never even read the Bible.

Then January 17th, 2012 came. This was the day that our seventh grandchild was born. However, she was born with anencephaly and we knew ahead of time that we would only have a few hours with her. God blessed us with 17 amazing hours. We used those 17 hours to love and hold Emma as much as we could.

Losing Emma was life changing.

When she left us, I knew instantly that I needed to make changes in my life. My grandbaby couldn't live and I was not living. I begged God to show me how to be with her again in Heaven. I had to be with her again.

I started going to church on a regular basis, I started reading the Bible, I grabbed Bible Study Books to help me learn as much as I could, I started attending Bible Study classes, and then it happened...

God told me what I needed to do

It happened February 13th, 2013. That morning I saw a post on Facebook that was a quote from Joyce Meyers. Then that night at Acts Bible Study class, one of the women at our table quoted Joyce Meyers. I thought to myself, "Who is this woman?" I immediately looked her up on the car ride home and found her Wikipedia page.

I got to the part about her earning her doctoral degree from Life Christian University and immediately searched for the school to find out more information. Once I arrived at the Life Christian University, I knew that God wanted me to find this school. I knew that God wanted me to help others using God's word. I signed up for my first class two days later.

Now I know my purpose and what God put me here to do. I am here to help others who have lost their own little Emma and help them find the word of God. I am here to help others know that they will see their loved ones again. I am here to help people find their own path to God.
