I was born into a Christian home. My Great Grandfather helped found the church I grew up in and my Grandmother played the organ. I was never told but I’m sure it was expected of me to commit my life to following Christ I did just that with great gladness in my heart at the age of nine. I loved the Lord so much and couldn’t do enough to make him proud of me.

As a teenager I rebelled at being the “goody two shoes” and I went to parties and tried alcohol. Through this stage in my life I may have put God on the back burner but he never gave up on me. Eventually I turned my life around and asked forgiveness for my behavior.

When I was 18, I got married without truly seeking God’s guidance.  Even though this man was not God’s choice for me He Blessed our marriage with 2 beautiful children. In the 30 years we were married there were numerous hardships, trials and points were it seemed God had turned his back on us.  But through it all God was with me.

A really low point in my life was when my former husband left me after 30 years of marriage. I never felt so afraid and alone in my entire life.  In the midst of this crisis, God helped me make it through each day, sometimes hour by hour till I grew stronger and stronger.

I try not to make the same mistakes more than once so I let God pick out my new husband and knew that God’s choice was better than any choice I could have made.

This past year has been really difficult for me. In a period of 4 months my mother had major back surgery, I had numerous operations and was diagnosed with breast cancer one month before my mother unexpectedly passed away. Through all this God has been my anchor and has blessed me with caring and supportive co-workers, family, church family, friends and that wonderful husband God chose for me.
