To: Mrs. Don-o
I went to church as a child but it never “took”. I attended Church of Christ, Nazarene, Catholic and Methodist.

In my teens I became an Atheist. In my early 20’s a Buddhist and considered myself one for the next couple of decades. In my 40’s I became an Agnostic. I really didn’t know of God existed at all and if he did he didn’t have any effect on my life.

Last Christmas I met a good Christian man through friends. This man had joy, love, peace, and serenity. I WANTED that.

Fall 2006 and Winter 2007 I hit a rough patch both financially and mentally. Late last March I hit rock bottom emotionally.

One day after work I came home and got down on my knees and told God that I wasn’t sure if he existed and even if he did that he could have any effect on my life. I told him that what I was doing in my life wasn’t working and that I needed help. A few days later I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

My life hasn’t been perfect since then. I’ve had a couple of meltdowns but with God’s help, advice, and love I’m doing ALOT better! I’m also a MUCH nicer person.

I think back to the way I used to think and my old beliefs and I can’t believe that I’m the NICE person I am today and that is due ENTIRELY to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit giving me another chance and coming back into my life.

Wow, and wow again. And punching-the-air hoorays and high-fives! You're in the right hands now, brother.

Keep feeding the faith as much as you can. Hang out with that

Keep in touch! I'm so glad for you!
