In 1971 I had just broken up with my boyfriend, my Mom & Dad wanted me far away from this man because he was 22 yrs older & a gangster of sorts.
I went to a new apostolic church with my parents & we all turned our lives over to the Lord. From that moment on everything changed in my life for the better. With prayer from the church I gave up smoking and never desired them again. I had no withdrawal symptoms.
I started leading other people to Jesus and praying in hospitals for the sick and every day I was excited to just be alive & not feel any more pain or loss. I am still a Born-again Christian & I still want to please God more than man.
We all sin and fall short of the Glory of God but I don't sin in the same ways before I knew God. I was saved by God to be His. Now I have God to turn to when I have a problem & I know God loves me.
