I searched and He Resecued

Before receiving eternal life I had guilt, regret, and marriage problems.

I was lost, I felt like I did not have control of my life. I made a lot of bad choices and decisions. These choices and decisions affected my marriage. When my wife confronted me about my choices and decisions I lied, and lied to her face even though she had evidence of my bad choices and decisions. I had body image issues, I did not care what my wife thought about me or my body. I worked out and stayed in shape for other people not my self or for my wife.

During these times my wife and I were church shopping. I was baptized at a real young age and I went to church on and off most of my life. The relationship I had with god, was i knew all i had to do wasy pray to him tell him i was sorry and than go about my day. In 2013 My wife and I attended a service at cross roads. Pastor Jim Todd was speaking. During his sermon he was talking about "Washing your self in the shower and becoming clean". At that moment I felt pressure on my shoulders like someone was behind me pushing me down in the seat. I turned around to see if I knew the person behind me. When I turned around i did not recognize the person behind me. I looked at my wife and I noticed she had her hands in her lap so I knew it was not her.I thought for a second and realized that was god pushing me down in the seat telling me to stay there in that chair and at that church. Later that day I knew what I had to do. I sat my wife down and I disclosed all my bad choices and decisions i made over the years to her. To this day my wife and I try to sit in those two same seats.

Now that I have received eternal life I feel free. I smile more, my kids have come to know god. People at work notice the change in my attitude and positive attitude. I don't struggle with the issues I had before. My marriage is better than ever. i have learned to communicate with my wife more.

I have worked in Law Enforcement for 13 years. During the course of my career I was wanted to try out for the SWAT team. I never did because I was so afraid of failure and rejection. After receiving eternal life, I attempted and tried out. I passed with flying colors.

I have a close strong relationship with Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus saves me not Religion. I know I can be obedient and happy in this life and supremely happy in heaven. It was by the grace of God I was rescued. Even though I fail everyday I know I have eternal becuase of Gods mercy.
