God …has made my life full, rich and rewarding

I accepted Christ into my life as Savior at the age of nine after my bestfriend’s father was killed in a car accident. Her mother led me to the Lord.Her father was the pastor of our church. I immediately knew that somethingradical had happened to my life. I remember that night like it was yesterday.

A year later another friend’s mother died of cancer. It now became evidentto me that life on earth was not forever. Thus began my Christian growthand the beginning of learning what Christ as Lord in my life meant.

At the age of 14 I felt the call to full time Christian work and entereda Christian College when 18. I learned to lean on the Lord for my livlihood,and college expenses. He never failed to supply all my needs. Upon leavingcollege I went into Christian work for 8 years.

Through my life time, I have seen Christ become the very life, the very breathof life to me. He has seen me through an ugly divorce as the result of severephysical and sexual abuse; He provided sanity after a rape at knife point;He helped me raise 2 children alone for 17 years; He saw me through a diagnosisof terminal cancer; He has given me a ministry to battered and raped women;He has allowed me the priviledge of leading others to Him and disciplingthem.

My God is truly awesome! He has made my life full, rich and rewarding asmy hope for eternity is not in what I am, have been, or will ever hope tobe, but by His sacrificial death on the cross and resurrection to life. Ihave peace, joy and assurance in my place in eternity. While my time on earthis accountable to Him, mysalvationis sealed forever.

He has led me into another career in my mid-life — that of full time counselorto those in emotional pain. I have the answer for them because I personallyknow the Solution. God is confirming my newest heart’s burden — a supportgroup for the grandmothers of aborted babies. It is my desire that He continueto use me as He sees fit until I meet Him in the air or in death.

In Christ,
