"Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to
hear him. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This
man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. And he spake this
parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred
sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and
nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until
he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his
shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth
together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice
with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto
you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that
repenteth,
more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no
repentance."
Luke 15:1-7 ![]() My Testimony
Everyone always asked when I got
saved. Well to be honest, I don't really know. I am one of those
people who always knew that Jesus was born & died for us and
that he is my Lord and Savior.
John 14:6 says
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,
and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
and Philippians 4:13 says
"I can do all things through
Christ, who Strenghtens me."
I was raised Roman Catholic in
Berlin Germany, and I always spoke to Jesus since I can
remember. I think a lot has to do with my Dad's situation. I am
not going in to details, but I will say this much. Me and my
siblings did not had a very good upbringing. I believe unto this
day, if it would not been for Jesus and my Mom who held the
Family together, I would not be where I am at, now.
In 1983 I met my loving husband
who helped me in my spiritual growth. Before I met him and
since than we had so many incidences, where we say that Jesus
had a hand in it. My Husband was in the US Army and we had so
many incidences where I could have lost him.
One Example is in 1985. He was
suppose to leave Berlin in October 1984, with his best friend.
Both where going to the same place, same Unit. Since he was
scheduled to leave we got Married in April 1984, so I could go
with him. Since we got married his tour got extended to a Family
tour and his friend left. We all told him to try to stay by
asking for an extension, which he did not do. In December 1985
his friends unit went to Egypt. On the way back one of the
Planes crashed with no survivors. Bill's friend was on this
plain. Now If Bill would have gone he could have been on that
plane as well.
Since than their are so many
incidences, that I could not name them all.
I was always told I could not
have any children, Well Anybody who knows me, knows that I have
2 beautiful girls. It took 4 years each time, but it happened.
My oldest was born in Ft. Polk, LA and my youngest was born in Berlin after the
first time around in Iraq. Bill was their, and I got pregnant
with Barbara once he came back. She has a lot off medical
issues, but nothing we could not handle. Everything is possible
through Christ.
Thanks to the Lord we are still
here and raised 2 wonderful Girls who are saved, my oldest is
engaged to a
wonderful young man who is also saved.
I work in a Government Daycare on
Post, I love working with children.
We are always told we could not
speak about Jesus, but when the children asked questions I tell
them. We can't start it, but if the child ask question we
answer. And if the Parent tells us that they are saved we also
speak to them. We can't put it into our curriculum, but it does
not hurt to speak about Jesus and answer question. I talk to the
Parents as well.
We are suppose to "Go Tell the
wonderful News" and I do.
John 3:16 says
"For God so Loved the World, that
he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish but have everlasting Life."
Yes I make mistakes and wonder
off sometimes, but I always ask Jesus for Guidance through out
the day and ask for forgiveness.
Jesus gave his life for
my sins,
and I will do anything possible
to thank and serve him.
Jesus is Lord of Lords and King
of Kings.
