Then at the age of 28 I accepted Jesus Christ again because I wanted to be certain. I was married and had 2 children, and my husband and I both felt very strongly about being baptised for a 2nd time. The feeling was so much stronger than when I was 13. My husband became a deacon, and we were very active in the church. I sang in the choir, we were both Sunday School teachers, worked in Bible School, etc. My life later took a turn for the worse after I lost my father to cancer.I became angry with God for not healing him. I would go to church and would have to leave because I couldn’t quit crying. Finally I quit trying to go, and my husband didn’t go because I didn’t, so we ended up in a divorce that should of never taken place after being married 25 years.

Today I am still struggling to get back what I lost. I married an alcoholic who was very abusive, and who beat my self-esteem down very low. But that same alcoholic became saved 5 years before his death, and he showed me the true meaning of what it was like to be a true living Christian. People looked up to him, and they would say ” I want what he has.” I know without a doubt that if we don’t have Jesus Christ in our lives, and truly live our lives for him we can never truly be happy or have peace in our lives.
