Virginia, a Gal saved by Grace!

I was brought up in a good home. My parents were Catholic,

but not practicing their faith. Their version of going to church

was, at Easter and Christmas. I married very young and learned

from a lot of mistakes made. I went through a very bad divorce,

but out of all that, I learned to depend on myself.

Two years later I met the Man,

God had chosen for me. We had been married

for 3 years and then had a family of

yours, mine , and ours. I had prayed for direction for my life,

but found myself always trying to make it happen.

The thing I didn't know at the time was,

God moves in His time, not ours. He was waiting

for me to give up My self-support and depend on Him.

I am a very strong minded person. In Control!

I don't look to others for direction, but I look within myself

for my answers.

We were in a church in Steubenville, Ohio 1975.

I was praying for God to show me what he wanted me to do

in my life.

The invitation was given...and given again.....All at once,

I started to shake, as if I was cold.

The tears were rolling down my face.

I was a shy person, and for me to stand, cross over my

children and my husband and

walk forward ......for me was quite amazing.

I didn't know what God wanted

for me in my life at the time , but I knew this was the time,

He had chosen...................

I got counseling from the church and was baptized.

I was a new person in Christ.

I really started to pray and study, with a whole new hunger.

"The Word of God", "The Bible" Had my answers.

I learned so much. I was like a sponge soaking it all up.

I had been asking, and now the

answers were coming.

I don't know all the answers.

My life isn't perfect, but now I have peace and assurance

that all is well with my soul. There is peace.

I pray with confidence, that God knows the answers.

I just have to wait patiently for His answers.

I know it sounds so simple!!! >>>It is !!!

We are the ones that make it hard.

You don't have to wait:

We tend to drive into a brick wall, over and over.

Why wait to be in such turmoil before you give it all to God,

and let Him give you the saving grace of Jesus

to guide you on your way through this very uncertain life.

Part of the armor that I put on now is:

I can do all things, through Christ Jesus, who strengthens me!

Jesus will come into your life,

But you have to open the door!
