The Story of My Life

I was born to Pastor Parents raised in a religious home, wherein going to church was a part and parcel of our lives. we attended church conferences annually as a family and never missed any. However, as I grew up and became a teenager, I began to feel like anything associated with Christianity was not cool. I drifted away from the things of God. it was not long before I began to feel emptiness on the inside, although outwardly I had things going for me. there was a void that the material could not fill, this emptiness made me grumpy and easily irritable. this was compounded by the fact that I so wanted to conceive and it was not happening.

I remember how miserable my life was and how I felt like my prayers were not being answered. there is a month when I actually thought that I had conceived only to realise it was delayed period- the emotional turmoil was unbearable!

As the Lord would have it, a neigh and former school mate invited me to a youth all night prayer meeting. the preacher made an alter call at the end of his sermon and I still cant explain how I found myself at the front ready to invite Christ into my life; ready to give Him the pieces so He could put them together. I still remember the day as though it was yesterday; although its almost 14 years ago (May 18th 2002). I received the free gift of eternal life .When I left the meeting it was as though a whole ton of bricks had been lifted form off me! I felt vibrant again, my life had a meaning and it was full of hope and I could not contain my excitement as I shared my new found life with family and friends. it was not long before most of them followed suit. As if that was not enough, my May 2003 I was confirmed pregnant not only with one child but twins. A number of doors began to open up in y life and I was set on course for the abundant life Christ purchased for me.

Since receiving eternal life, my life changed for the better, joy, peace, fulfilment and hope became my portion. I live in the full knowledge that there is a God in heaven who answers prayers and that I belong to the household of God.

As indicated above, God answered the payer I had had for a long time. he blessed me with twin girls who are now 12 years old.

The greatest of the blessings that come with giving my life to Christ is the rest and confidence I have in knowing that if Christ we to come today, I would be among those who will be caught up with Him in the clouds as a precursor to eternal life with Him as our King. I know for sure that i have eternal life.
