Testimonial Time

I thought it would be nice if my readers would share their testimonies with me, so to get things started I am going to share mine.

I had gone through an abusive / adulterous marriage and then I had a bad relationship with someone else.
In 1981 I went to stay with my sister for awhile in upstate New York.  It ended being alot longer. More about that later.
I started going to bible studies with my sister, but stayed in another room doing needle work or some other craft. When they were listening to cassettes that spoke about Jewish customs or beliefs they would play it louder or talk louder if they were reading scriptures pertaining to such things.
Then I got a bible called The Way which was a paraphrase and compared it with the Jewish Masoretic text. There were just too many coincidences, such as, Isaiah 53 which both versions said the same thing. Psalm 22 and more. I also read the book More Than a Carpenter by Josh McDowell which stated that Jesus was either a lunatic, liar or He was who He said He was. Not only that, but I had 3 prayers answered in a two week period.
Now I was still sceptical, but on May 1, 1981, I was alone in my room and I said to God if Jesus was truly His Son that I needed something right now. I had such a peace flood my soul. A peace that I don't remember experiencing since. That is not to say I don't experience peace, but that day was just so different. You need to understand that I was a very introverted person. I was afraid of my own shadow. I know that I know that Jesus, Yeshua, came into my life that night. I have never been the same.
Well I wasn't suppose to stay there, but I had to get a job to raise money to get back to Florida, but I decided to stay due to my new found faith and started going to church.
In 1987, I met my future husband. Married in 1989 and had our daughter in 1993. Moved back down here, Florida, in 1994.
So there is my testimony.
Now its your turn.
Love and blessings,
