My Salvation ~
I did not come to know Jesus as my Saviour until I was 20 years old.
I had repeated the "sinner's prayer" so the preacher would marry Terry
and I, but I had no idea what it meant and the preacher never followed
up with me. (It did not help my mom was in an accident and not
expected to live so we ended up not marrying in his church.)
My salvation happened in my mother-in-law's living room. We spent
a lot of time at her house when we were first married and she has a
close walk with the Lord. We were talking one night about Hell and I
knew that's where I was headed. She asked if I wanted to get saved &
I did. We went into her living room and there by her couch, I asked
Jesus to save me. She did not give me the words to say, but she was
talking to the Lord for me, I could hear her.
It has been just over 27 years since that day and I can truly say
"every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before!" And I do love
Him more now than I did before! I was already a wife & mom
when I got saved. I had lived 20 years without Him. BUT I am so
thankful my mother-in-law took time to talk to me about Him! And
I am so thankful for the work of the Holy Spirit in my life! There have
been struggles, and there will be more, but I know my Saviour is with
me until the end! And because of that I can have strength & courage to
carry on!
"For in him we live, and move, and have our being" Acts 17:28a
