Dear Ladies,
I just wanted to take the time and tell my testimony.
I was saved as an eight year old child. And for years I believed that the prayer was what saved me. I was brought up in a church with no standards. It was every man did that which was right in his own eyes. Even the version you used was up to you and talk of confusion in a church. My family used KJV the pastor NAS his wife used something else and so it went around the church.
I attended church camp each year and really had a bad crush on one of the counselors. His dad was a Baptist pastor. To me a pastors son would be great. I thought they had it all figured out. Well eventually we dated and he took me to alot of Bible conferences. Of the IFB sort and it was all new to me. Of course I dressed just like the world at this time. I remember the first time I saw Hyles coulottes. I thought I could wear those. Well my standards started to change and I conformed to what was excpected.
He took me to a conferance at a Bible college and the pastor spoke out of Rev. Before he started he had eveyone number the top of a paper 1-10 You were to circle which one you thought represented where you were in your christian walk. 1 the worst christian in the world 10 being the best. I circled 5. Well he used Rev. 3:15-16 I would that they were hot or cold. Oh my did that ever hurt. It was there that I gave myself completely to my Lord. I love the saying, You have no right to use Him as Saviour if you abuse Him as Lord. Well it was not long after this that we got married. After a few years of marriage we were given some tapes on the Godly home and that has had a great impact upon our home life. It was also at this time that he came to the understanding on the covering. I have covered for 6 years. It has been a blessing. I love the freedom that it brings. I would like to say that devotions are the first thing in the morning but I still struggle with that. With all of the children my days can get hectic. But I would not trade one of them for the world.
Jesus is all to me. I can not imagine what my life would be like with out His constant love and care. Oh, what a friend we have in Him
In His Love,
Michelle
