If I had to just use one word it would be SAD!!! I was very rebellious and angry as far back as I can remember. I rebelled as a teenager, married very young and had 2 children before age 20. I was brought up in church with Christian parents but never understood about the grace of God and that He accepted me just the way I am. Even when things were going " good" I was unhappy and felt so empty.

When my son was a teenager he was invited to church by a friend and made a commitment to Christ. He asked me and his dad to come to see him be baptized. I was at a point where I knew I had to make a choice about giving my life to Christ or not. I was so miserable. The next week there was a revival and I went. At the end of the service I went forward and accepted Jesus Christ into my heart. The difference was immediate!

It has been 12 years and I have never felt the sadness that I felt before. Even during the hard times I feel the Holy Spirit with me. I know there is a God because he changed me in ways I never could have. Everytime I call on Him he has never failed me and has always given me peace in my heart. I no longer feel doomed!! I don't feel I have to be perfect anymore. But my desire is to please God and that feels so freeing.
