Hi dear friends,
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve join and I thought it was time I gave my testimony. To tell you the truth I don’t know where to begin without going overboard. As a child, I lived in a family that was afflicted by a man who drank, abused his wife and was pedophile. But as I grew up my mother made sure I along with my sisters and brothers went to church and I was taught of a loving God. As to this day I am the only one that I know of that is saved in my family.
I ran away from home at the age of 18 and was married by the age of 21 after living with my ex-husband for 2 years. Just shortly after I was married – I gave my life to the Lord. I randomly picked up the Bible one day and read the verse "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” So right then and there I decide I wanted to serve God.
The walk was long and slow but I am thankful that the heavenly Father for His patience and love. It was about five years later that I met a dear young lady who I met at a base my husband was posted at and she invited me to go to her church – Pentecostal. And can you guess what I saw there - the move of the Holy Spirit. I was flabbergasted – here was something I never saw in a church – not only a God who loved me but wanted a relationship me. I was floored. Here I dedicated my life to Him.
Years did go by, I studied His word, went church, and I tried to good. But where I really started to grow was in my desert. My husband left me with three children and shortly after the church I was going to - closed. Left alone not once but twice. Oh the turmoil that I went through – anger, bitterness selfishness and distrust. These traits were revealed in that refiner’s fire and yet He still loved me. Again I was humbled.
To this day I am still growing and though the walk is going in another direct, I await for Him to make “known to me the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.” (Ephesians 1: 9-10) I will always praise His Holy Name for He is forever faithful and true.
Still growing – your sister in Christ,
Snowrose
