My Testimony

I received the Lord Jesus Christ as my person Lord and Savior at the age of fourteen. I have never regretted this decisions to follow Christ as a teenager in the early 1960s as I entered my first year of high school. It was exciting with a capital "E!" underscored and high lighted for the rest of my life, earthly and eternal. I found Jesus to be my very best Friend, a friend that sticks closer than a brother, a friend that would lay down His life for me. The lights came on and I suddenly had a purpose for living. I excelled in school and escaped the luring of and entrapment of sin many of the young people faced at that time. I did not smoke, drink, experiment with drugs, fool around with boys, play hooky or try to get out of doing hard work. I was on fire for God and He rewarded me greatly by getting good grades, being the first in my family to go to college and having a deep, close walk with Jesus, my Lord. He gave me contentment and peace. He gave me comfort and joy. My life was an adventure with God.

It did not bother me that I was not popular. I was able to keep my my mind on Jesus all day long and trust Him for my future. I had the Living God who made heaven and earth dwelling on the inside of me, explaining the mysteries of science, math and all the other subjects to me, giving me clarity of thought and bringing back to my remembrance everything that I had studied, resulting in getting an academic diploma and choosing the path of becoming a teacher.

I believe that whatever befalls me God is with me. His promises are true, "Yea and Amen!" He will never leave me. He will perfect that which pertains to me.
