I grew up in a Christian home......Baptist!......so we were at church whenever the doors were open, and loved it

When I was 7 a Missionary asked me if I was saved
I went home.....talked to my Mother....and she took me next door to a Pastor’s house.......and he and Mom asked me a lot of questions
I must have given the right answers because within a few weeks I was Baptized

Almost 30 years later, when I had children of my own.....
...I realized .......in an AHA! Moment!!!!!!....that I was going to church and Sunday School......but my life was a facade......a fake!
I had never made Jesus ‘LORD OF MY LIFE’
I could say all the right things.......but I wasn’t real.....inside.....where it counts!

It was a life changing moment

From that day forward......with flubs plenty I am a sinner saved by Grace......and daily being sanctified......
....Now I am His and He is mine
To God be the Glory

Your testimony is so beautiful it reads like a song! The Bible says the angels rejoice whenever a sinner repents and turns to God (Luke 15:10) . He had a plan for you all along! It fascinates me how all of us have our own unique story of our relationship to God in Christ. For some the miracle happens in a moment, for others it is a process taking years. Also, you told your story in fewer words than I used but your testimony seems so much more powerful than mine! Your drama was the internal light of realization and joy. Hallelujah!
