My Testimony

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
  Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
-Isaiah 43:18-19 (KJV)

I came to know the Lord when I was 16 years old. I attended Youth Camp in our home area.   All things became new for my future life that morn.  Morning had truly broken for me.

Prior to this, - I had wanted very much to be a Christian, but the right time just had not come for me.  I was very raised in a Christian home and I had scarcely missed a Sunday of going to church in my life, (but good deeds do not save you). I loved Jesus, but did not truly know Him.

Later in our church  I  received the infilling of the Holy Spirit. I remember the great change for days afterward in my life when I wasn't interested in anything but God's Word.  The Love I had for everyone was the greatest experience I had ever known in my life.  I looked at everyone with compassion and love through the Spirit.

I have grown spiritually since my early Christian life and was baptized twice, once in our hometown and again at Jordan River in Israel when we had the privilege to go there. The Bible God's Word leads me into New Truth each day.  I look forward to Heaven being with Jesus eternally. 

There are still times in my life when I wonder if I am in God's perfect will for my life.  I am reminded of a song I sang when just a small girl, -"Make Me Lord What You Want Me To Be" That is still my prayer today for I am still growing in Christ. With God by my side each day, I can make it.

In His Love,
