As a youg girl I had great Christian parents who were always in chruch . There was no other place to be. During revial all my friends were being saved so I thought I would be like the rest and walk the aisle and ask Jesus into my heart. Years went by, and I got married and had a family. I still thought I was the best person around because I always was doing good things for others. Then God started dealing with me. I couldn’t sleep and couldn’t think and I was always scared. I talk with my daughter and son-in-law about this. We prayed about this problem. I was in my late forties and I realized I was not saved. I asked Jesus into my heart and was baptized. I thought everthing was going great but there was Satan on a roll. I started going to doctors getting perscription meds like crazy. I would talk my way into a hospital and even had surgeries I really didn’t need. God was put on the back burner once again. I knew down deep this was wrong, but didn’t really care. I could play church with anyone. I sang in the choir, taught Sunday School and took my pills. I was hooked on drugs bigtime. Finally one day after God giving me another chance and almost dying, there was an intervention in my life. My daughter said, “Enough is enough.” I told her I had no problem, that she did. But God had other plans. Between my daughter and a good friend the next thing I knew I was in a rehab in Greenwood. I thought, “I am too old for this.” But it was there that I found out that God had let me hit the bottom so I would have to look up to Him and not to drugs. All this time his hands were held out but I just wouldn’t take them. I am so happy God didn’t give up on me. I keep my eyes on the cross and keep looking and hold to His hands. I didn’t know life could be so good. I want to tell everyone how much God loves them and he is always there for you if you just ask. Now I can teach Sunday School and sing in the choir and I can’t get enough of God’s Word. God IS GOOD!!!!!!
