Finally finding Jesus

Before I found Jesus I was upset, unhappy, and always stressed about everything....

I am married to my best friend and have two amazing children and still I was not happy. My husband and myself are both union workers with amazing jobs and went from being addicted and homeless to being sober and homeowners and still I was not happy, but finally after years of searching for the cure,( therapy, medication, etc,) I found Jesus and haven't looked back or been happier..

I mentioned going to church in passing to a few friends of mine and after hearing from a dear friend of mine that she was attending church religiously and that I should come I took her up on her offer and joined her for a service with my family. My pastor was preaching about worry and stress and spoke straight to me and from that point on I never looked back. I was home and haven't been happier.

I can not recall a time in my entire life that I have ever been happy, truly happy. But ever since I have accepted Jesus and God into my life I cant describe myself as anything but happy. I have gone threw therapy and taken medications and still never experienced joy in life even though my life is amazing but since I have started praying daily and allowed the lord into my life I have never been happier! Its a true blessing.

I have always been one to be upset easily but now even when things don't go my way or cause issues for me I am able to accept that this is the lords way and am thankful for learning experience.

I never thought that "organized religion" was something that I needed in my life, and that if I simply believed that I would saved. and that might be true to a point, but I now know that Faith is what I have always needed and pray that I will continue this amazing relationship with the lord and learn from not only past but my future. I am truly blessed and have had the lords with me for longer then I can remember, I am blessed to know that now and filled with joy that he did not give up one me all these years. I pray that I can pass this amazing gift on to others and live as he did...
