Salvation, Single Mom
As a young adult with two small girls running from a failed marriage and a chaotic marriage, I ran to Pasadena California, where my college friend had invited me to come stay with her and her son. I did not know the Lord, even though He had introduced Himself to me when I left Chicago. A woman came to my sister’s house, where I was staying after leaving my failed marriage. She came to the door and asked, “Do you know Jesus?” No, I did not. She read some scriptures to me and then gave me her Bible because I didn’t have one. I took that Bible to California.
The Lord led a stranger who worked in the same place I worked to pester me about Jesus and coming to church with her. Off I went with my bible. The miracle was that God had set me up to come to this place, where this friend, whom I could not stand, loved me in action to lead me to Christ by not letting my nasty attitude stop her from talking to me about Jesus. Even though she knew I did not want to hear it. Then she led me to the first church that I ever attended more than once. There I put my hand in my Father’s Hand and became His child and worshipped, praised, was baptized, and served for over 17 years. I have never looked back!
