I don't know what to say... I never went through any trials or tribulations before I was saved. I just realized at a very early age we all needed God.
As a family, we went to church every Sunday. God was in my life from the time I could remember. When my sister and I ask Mom to read us a story, it came from the Bible... God's Word.
Between the age of 15 and 17 I became very curious of His word and what our Parents had taught us and impressed on us. In November of 1972, in my parents living room, I bowed my head and ask God to forgive me and for Jesus Christ to come into my heart and make me a new creature, during a Billy Graham Crusade on November 23, 1972.
I have never looked back, nor denied my Father and Savior. I may have disappointed Him, but I never denied Him.
He is my Refuge and my Life and I love Him and trust Him with all my heart soul and strength.
Thank you Father, thank you Jesus, my heart is always yours!

We have been given a remarkable gift through God and His redemption story. Not only have we received eternal life with our Creator, but we have received courage in Christ that will change the trajectory of our lives and the lives of those around us forever.
