My dad was a working “functional alcoholic,” but my mother was a believer in Jesus Christ. Though living with my father was tough, God provided my wonderful godly mother to take my brother and me to church and to live the good example before us. .

At the age of 10 in a church service I heard my beloved pastor ask, “Do you know you are a sinner in need of a Savior?” I walked down the aisle that day and accepted Christ as my Savior. I knew I had lived a bad life and needed God’s help, and Jesus Christ His only son provided the only answer and the help I needed.

As a young adult I strayed away from God and a church home. I lived many unhappy empty years trying to fill that emptiness with all the worldly things that never last or fulfill. Finally in the year1997 my husband and I started attending a wonderful church home, First Baptist North Spartanburg. I have spent much time studying God’s life manual, the BIBLE,  and now have a joy and peace that can only come from having a personal relationship with Christ. God has seen our family through many diificult times-sickness,marital issues ,financial struggles. We feel His prescence and know He has wonderful plans for us. I KNOW I WILL NEVER BE ALONE AGAIN.
