Love the Lord with ALL your heart, mind and soul

I was drifting along no real purpose. Just living life. If things came up I would not look and not deal with them. I had lots of regrets of things I should have done but was too late to do them again. Like obeying my parents and doing what I wanted to do. Not showing respect for them.

My mom and dad would tell me something and then they would say no more. But I know if I decided to do it my way I would get the consiquences. My mom and dad helped me go thru nursing school. I had 2 children and a home in a town my now husband calls olive pit. Well, after I graduated from nursing school I bought myself a motorcycle. I thought it was great. I would ride up and down the street with one of the girls on the back. Well, one day my father and mother came by to visit and saw me on that motor cycle with my girl on the back seat. I pulled up and there stood my dad. He didn't say a word until I had opened the garage and was putting the bike in and he said "Get ride of the bike or I will not pay for your car insurance." You see to help me they paid my car insurance. So the next day I sold the bike.

I had received the Lord around the age of 24 years old. Already with 2 children I went to visit my father who had injured his leg while working at a horse stable. When I went to see him about 3 days after surgery he looking disshovled and needed a shave. I put his shaving stuff on the counter and fluffed his pillow and just then a nurse came in and said "O, it looks like you already have a nurse." That was it! I was going to be a nurse. Went back home and signed up for nursing school and the Lord had helped me thru everything. Where I didn't have money then I got a gift to go to school. When I didn't think I could go on in school my instructor found a way for me to continue. All thru God helped me, was with me. Then about 5 years after nursing school I decided I could do this on my own. So going thru life still not seeing things that the Lord was calling me back. Now my children are grown and I have great grandchildren but no one is walking with the Lord. One day about7 years ago I was watching TV and heard Charles Standley. He said with his finger pointed at me "YOU, you need to get into a church". So I asked the Lord for forgiveness and started looking for a church. Took me 3 months to find Calvary Chapel Santa Cruz. Then in another3 months I was baptized for the first time.

The Lord had given me JOY. And at times I fill like I am bursting with JOY unspeakable.

I was at work and was called down to HR. I had no clue what was going to happen and either did my co-workers. They told me I was going to be layed off. So I got back to my unit and there they all were saying what happened!" Here was 6 co-workers that I had worked with for 16 years. I told them that they said I was layed off. They couldn't believe it then said "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?" I said I am going to trust in the Lord and whatever He has for me I will do. About 1 week after I left they gave me a dinner out. Still at the dinner they said "What are you going to do?" I said the same thing Trust in the Lord. Then they said, "No Sue, what are you really going to do?"

The Bible tells me to trust in the Lord. Lord Jesus said believe on me and I will give you eternal Life. Thru the Blood of Jesus when He died on the cross for my sins He gave me eternal life. To be absent from the body is to be present with Jesus.
