| I learn more of God's truth as time goes on, and it sets me free from worldly perspectives and goals. I now know who I am in Christ, and that my value comes from how much I look like Him, and how jacked up I was before He came into my life, and that if it wasn't for His salvation I wouldn't have even had a chance to fulfill the purpose He gave my life, and with all that, I know how greatly I need His grace and that because of it I am a new creature and all the craziness that goes on around me I don't need to worry about! :) It's a great feeling being free from sin and getting a free pass off of the road to hell just because He loves me! |

I was pregnant with my first child and I had been reading the bible and wondering about God for a couple years. I was watching TV and couldn't find anything that I wanted to watch. But then I can across a show with all these huge men and they were lifting large amounts of weights and other heavy objects. I didn't know why I stopped to watch, it wasn't something I like to watch but I just couldn't seem to turn the channel. Then after about 5 more mins. one of the men starts to talk about how he was saved and what God had done with his life. After the show was over I called out to God saying that I just had such a hard time believing in him and Jesus. Why would he even want to do this for me. Are you even real, i asked him, I don't have any proof. Just then my son (I was five months pregnant) kick for the very first time. Then he moved again. There was my proof. I prayed the prayer.
I still struggle everyday with my self worth and doing what pleases God and not man but I no longer feel alone and tided down by my mistakes. I truely feel free. |

| I have always been a christian, but I was never taught what it meant to have a one-on-one relationship with God. I didn't go to church growing up, and started to go when I was in college off and on. The Lord sent me a truly incredible person to tell me all about Jesus, and what it all truly means, and I have to say my life has been touched amazingly since then. I now walk with Him daily, pray constantly, and have an awesome renewed sense of peace. That isn't to say that I don't struggle, because MAN do I, but it is during those struggles that I have drawn closer to God. I have had a really rough past 2 years, and I think the reason behind all of it is God yelling "hey, Briana, duh! Turn to ME!" His voice started as a whisper, then He tried to talk, and now He is just yelling that He wants to be in relationship with me. I am fairly new at all of it, and will be learning all my life, but I can't imagine not having God in my life. When everything feels impossible, I know I am never alone. I plan to raise my daughter this way, and I'm a little nervous because I wasn't raised this way so I feel like I have no idea what to say to her, but I know that it will come. Anyway, that's my little story. I love this group--I really like reading what you guys have posted. Bless you sweet sisters!!! |

In this life, there are people who hears the truth the first time and change right away, there are others that God needed to shake before they can even change no matter how much they've heard of the truth.
Sometimes God lets us experience tragedy and sometimes just almost. When God set me free, it was at a point where i almost lost my marriage. I had a spirit of infidelity in me. (I'm free now so i'm not ashamed to tell my story. ) I wasn't caught in the act but my actions revealed a lot. A simple phone number on my cell phone brought everything to light. Until i had to just tell my husband everything. It was unbearable and i felt so ashamed. But my husband , who loves the Lord, forgave me and stuck through. I asked the Lord for forgiveness and prayed that He'll set me free from the bondages of sin. We both started to go to church again and we conceived with our second baby(October 2004). Since then, the Lord was constantly molding me and now He's always on my mind.Between November 2006 to January 2007, i was slowly getting closer to God. But it was on January this year that i started to seek Him more. He released some more of the bondages and i started to read my Bible. That's when i know i was in the light. It was January 2007.
"Dear Lord, lead me not into temptation and deliver me from evil.Amen" |
