When my Dad was 30 yrs old he accepted Christ. His life immediately changed. He began going to church with us and we as a family began seeking a church that was really seeking God’s will. We would eventually join New Pisgah Baptist Church. One night we went to a church meeting where Fred Lowry was preaching. Because of the things he said and the change I had seen in my Dad’s life, I realized I needed Jesus as my Savior. That night in my living room my Dad led me in a prayer asking Jesus to be the Lord of my life.

That was 23 years ago, and things have not been easy. Since then I have been divorced, losing a marriage of 10 years with four children involved. If I had to admit it, though at 11years old I trusted Christ with my eternity, I never really learned to trust Him in my day to day decisions. The Bible says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean on his understanding in the things you do acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.” Though it took 23 years and a failed marriage, I have finally begun to learn how to trust God with everything. This has given me a totally new outlook on life. For the first time, I can now say I am acknowledging and trusting in Him and not my own abilities.
