My Testimony
My testimony is long but I will try to keep it short but still sweet. Growing up I really didn't have much of a religous background, although I did go to a Wednesday night group called Awanas. I believe that is the very reason why I was able to accept Christ when I did. During my young years I never really new who Jesus or the Lord was. When I was 10 my grandparents died and my family basicly blamed God. My father began drinking(it was his parents) and my parents faught all the time. On top of all that I was being abused by my brother. When I was 14 some Mormon missionarry's came to our house and began teaching my family about the Mormon's. Because it seemed to bring my family together I thought it had to be the true church. But things got worse after that. My parents fighting had gotton to the point where I was worried when I got home one of my parrents would be gone. I began using drugs and alcohol to cover my problems. When I was 17 I met my husband when he told me he did not like the drugs I quit using them. I still smoked and drank but quit using drugs. Now neither my husband and I were not saved but the Lord really worked in our lives. I was married not long after I met my husband and we had our first child when I was 18. We now have 3 children all a year apart. After my third son I became really withdrawn and depressed. In Janurary of 96 my husband left me. I had always stuck to my belief that the Mormon church was correct but when he left me I decided I needed to find out for myself. So I asked the Lord to show me the truth and he did but it was not the answer I expected. After that I was really confussed I could not understand why God would allow me to get involved with or even believe in their words but I soon discovered that it was not God who made me believe the Mormons but Satan. In May of 96 my husband attended a Promice Keepers conference and accepted the Lord. It was then that our marriage started to get worked out. My husband invited me to go to church with him and by my third time there I decided that the Lord was leading me some where. At that point I accepted the Lord but never really knew what it meant. It was not untill this year that I decided to dedicate my life to him. He has done so many wonderfull things for me that I cannot begin to name them off. But now I know that he is there and when I get weary I can rest in him. Praise the Lord for he is great and wonderfull.
