Hello there,
My story starts about 4 yrs ago. See i knew about Jesus, holy ghost (spirit) and God. I was raisd LDS, but i didn't have a relationship with Jesus till about 2 yrs ago. On june 12, 2004 my mom died suddenly, oh we had warning, her heart was bad, her kidneys were failing and she was in congestive heart failure. When she passed i was left with her 5000.00$ funeral bill ( and that was going cheap on everything), being her only child and her not having a spouse. I was stricken with severe grief and great and overpowering anger. God was prepared he sent me an angel, her name is Dee. I had met a few months before in Feburary, she had invited me to church, but i always declined. She continued to tell me daily that God loved me and that i should look to him . I just continued to yeah i might do that.
She was the first non-family member i called to get help with my mom's funeral. She was away at a woman's retreat. When she arrived home she return my call and asked if she could bring her pastor over. i agreed. So she came over with her husband and pastor and they prayed for us.
i was able to put my mom to rest the day after my 30th b-day. I began attending church with Dee off and on the following month. My anger grew into bitterness as the year wore on. I was attending church but i wasn't getting the message. God continued to use Dee everyday to work on my heart. Then little over a yr after mom's passing, i gave my heart to the Lord Christ, i did the salvation prayer. Dee asked feel different? No i replied. Then on July 5th of 2005 i got my finger caught in a roll gate where i work. By all rights my finger shoulda been cut off, but instead it was crushed. A week later i was back to work, finger all bandaged up of course, inspecting product when i was thinking that this happened for areason, if ist hadn't happened to me it would've happened to someone else and it probally woulda been worse. And then it happened, in an instant, i recived my salvation. I looked around and everything was new although i had looked at the same equipment for yrs, it just seemed different. like i was seeing it for the 1st time. it took about a month to relize that the anger that was in my heart was gone, other noticed as well, and commented on it. I am glad to say that i'm a child of God, and so is my hubby.
Thank you lord for all the blessing u have bestowed upon my daily life, even the ones i didn't reconize., AMEN
