My story begins many years ago in the middle of the winter...But really the beginning was when God saved me. Although
I may have had breath I didn't have life. To know me you would have never guessed at the sinfulness I had allowed my self
to be tangled up with,the hatefulness and bitterness.I had been raised religious all my life,so I had a head knowledge
of a Saviour,but no experiance. As I grew older I became despondant over my condition,but wanted no part of the
fanatisim we were a part of.....But God in mercy began working on my heart and mind to bring me to a place of repentance.
We sing a song that says"I shall never forget the day when the Lord saved me..." How true,when the great God of heaven reached
down to speak to me,I became truly free. August of 1996 God became more than a story,more than something I had been taught.
He was real. I knew nothing of the Church of God nor how a true christian should act,so I simple asked God to teach
me. He was ever so faithful,he never failed. He showed me in the Bible that a christian couldn't commit(or whatever verb you
would like to use)sin. He also helped me see that he only purchased one church and that he had more than just one work of
grace. When my family moved to Tennessee I was earnestly seeking God to bring me to a place where his people were. In August
of 1997 he brought us in contact with the glorious Church of God. That September my family attended the Knoxville Campmeeting.
My very first message Bro.Griffin preached "What are you doing with your Golden Oppertunity".God clearly let me now he had
done his part in bringing to Truth,now I had to choose to obey and walk in his light. It wasn't a hard decision...and I haven't
regretted it one time. Since I was saved God has taken care of every need,answered prayers,healed my body-not only of mild
aliments,but life threating diseases,fought my battles,increased my faith,strengthed my mind to resist the devil. My list
could go on and on...The only thing I have not found in my Saviour is failure. Through all this God wonderfully saved
my parents and my two sisters.It is so precious to have sweet unity and companionship in truth.And that my friends is....the
rest of the story.
