I love the Lord Jesus with everything I am

My name is Lorrie… and I love the Lord Jesus with everything I am. 

I guess I should start at the beginning, if I can figure out where that is. I think the fact that I was raised by an LDS father and a Methodist mother was the beginning of the confusion about the truth for me. I accepted Christ as my Savior at the age of 16, confused still, then joined the mormon church the same year. I married a mormon man who did not share my beliefs, when I was just 19.  We struggled desperately to get along, but it never worked out for us. After four and a half years of marriage, three children and mental, physical and emotional abuse… I knew I had to get out of there.  There was one thing that I praised God for in all of it.. His promise that He would never leave us or forsake us.  He did not leave me. I turned to an Assembly of God Pastor and started to get my life right.  I renewed my confession that Jesus Christ is Lord and died on the cross for my sins.  I started reading my Bible and praying to Jehovah God!  I found strength like I had not ever felt before rise up inside me.  I was renewed.  But, the old ways were not through with me.  I struggled for years to find who I was in the Lord Jesus Christ. 

My family and I moved back to Utah recently and I know the Lord has a work here for me.  I love the people here and will walk through whatever doors God opens for me.  I praise my Jesus, that He loved me enough to keep holding onto me, even when I was drowning myself.  He is a wonderful Lord and a great Friend. I also praise the Lord for my mother, who never gave up praying for me and my siblings to be saved. Hallalujah I hope that tells you a little about who I am and what I believe.  I am active in my church here in Utah and love to sing for the Lord. Nice to meet you all Lorrie
