A life without God is no life at all.

Before I received eternal life I was a very carefree individual about what the future holds for me.

I came home from partying all night , when all of a sudden I began to shake over some laundry that I was doing. No one was at home with me at the time, I did not know anything about prayer, but there and then, I went on my knees and began to pray and tell God that I do not want to die now. I was afraid of dying. I felt God was there with me.

I told my friend who was a believer how I was feeling and she talked about Jesus and encouraged me to go to church with her, to accept Christ and from then on I received my healing.

Now that I have received Eternal life, I have a true feeling of contentment and peace; I am very patient and I try to understand and see the light in everyone.

At the age of 22 I got my first child and raising him was not easy, but I felt God's love through me and it flowed to how I treated him and my two other children to come. I always acted in patience and understanding. When my daughter came home to me and told me she was pregnant, I cried. I cried and I cried because she was still in university and I wanted her to live a more easy life; I took a deep breath and prayed, reminding myself of patience and understanding, and I said if God gave me the strength, he will continue to do so for me and my daughter; and now my beautiful grand baby, Gabrielle.

In times of joy, I pray. In times of stress, I pray. My relationship with God grows and grows everyday. I feel his love, and talking to him gives me comfort. I live my life being an example of his love. Everyday I interact with people I try to live by God's example: when people anger or hurt me, I exercise good faith, I am not a vengeful person and I have never intentionally done anyone wrong. I can rest assured, if God calls me now and I leave this earth, he will be pleased with me and I will live with him in heaven.
