From Fear to Gratitude

Before I had eternal life, I was fearful self-centered

When I came across country from New Jersey to be with my adult children. I didn’t know anyone else. Worked as a hairstylist and I had to start my business all over again. I was riddled with fear.

On September 30, 2007 I received eternal life, and my life was changed.

Now that I know for certain I have eternal life, I no longer fear and my life has purpose.

At work one day three of my clients bought me bulletins from Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. So I knew God was talking to me or at least trying to get my attention. So I went to church on Sunday morning and enjoyed it. Everyone was so friendly. I decided to go on Wednesday nights to church, There was an alter call and the lady next to me said to don’t you wanna go down and I said no can’t you lead me through the sinners prayer so she did. I accepted Jesus into my heart and knew I had eternal life, Jesus gave me peace I never felt before. The nest week we met up at Mimi‘s café and we went through a new creation study guide. And I was reading my Bible everyday and if I had questions, she always tried to answer them for me.

I knew for certain that I have eternal life. The Holy Spirit has been changing me every day I was way less fearful, and was I am very grateful. I was led to the Convalescent Center in Newport Beach and I read the residents the Bible once a week and then I was there at least three times a week bringing them coffee or subs whatever they needed. I knew my life was changed. I was so grateful when I left and felt so much love for them and from them. That was Jesus showing me His love the more I trusted Him the more He shows me His love.
