My mother passed away in 1986 and my father in 1992 (or thereabout). Mother was a Christian and in her last days, asked me if I would give my life to God. At that stage, I did not feel that I could do so and was able to tell her that.
In May 1989, I was dramatically converted and in the same year, was adopted (unofficially) by Lois and Bevan. I lived with them on their farm at Willunga for two years , then holidayed in Europe for about 7 weeks and moved back into my own home at Hackham when I returned from holiday.
I have been truly blessed in my life, to have known many wonderful people, some Christian and some not, but I continually pray that those who don't know the Lord, will come to know Him before long. I also continually pray for those of my family that do not know Jesus Christ as their Saviour and am absolutely rapt that my younger sister and her husband and daughter came to know Our Saviour and serve Him lovingly.
The power of prayer is so often under-rated by many people. It is one of our strongest defences against the evil forces of the world. I still thank those who prayed for me for 21 years before their prayers were answered and I received Christ as my Saviour.
Lord, I just want to say again, how much I love You and thank You for your gift of Eternal Life through Your death and resurrection. I thank You for sending people to tell me of this great gift and explaining that You died for me. Help me, Lord, to spread this Good News to those with whom I come in contact, so that others may have the opportunity to know You as I do. Open the eyes of those who are too blind to see that they need You in Jesus' precious name. Amen

Hi susiegee,
ReplyDeleteI just popped over to say hello. I don't get a lot of spare time, but I do so want to stay in touch.
This post is a delightful testimony. Thanks for writing more about you. Seasoned writers advise to always write about what you know. I can tell you one thing. Your prayer that God's plan for your future to be made clear, will be answered one day at a time. He doesn't show us our future, but asks us to Trust him every day. Let each day unfold. When He calls us to something, He makes it clear: not the future, but the calling.
May God Bless you.
