Ambassadors for Jesus Christ

Starting from the very beginning: I have never “not known” the Lord. I was blessed with parents that had me in church from birth and I’ve simply never known life without God.

I attended Harvest Christian Academy all elementary years thru 5thgrade. Between growing as a child and constantly hearing the word and beginning to understand, I was saved at 9 years old and baptized shortly thereafter. I went to Roswell Street Baptist Church where I was very active in choir, GA’s, Bible studies, VBS yearly, camps yearly, Sunday School and Service weekly. If the doors were open, we were there. 

I memorized scripture regularly in the primitive years and developed a prayer life very early on. I have felt and known God to be with me through every aspect of my life. I’ve faced trials (as we all do) through different stages of life and have always leaned on God for help, guidance and love. I also (having been sheltered as a child) didn’t understand when I encountered anyone who didn’t know God because I thought that was normal and that everyone knew and loved Him. SHOCKER when I hit 6th grade in public school and learned differently. I felt like I had entered a different universe, and I did NOT like it (I can honestly say I hated the years between 6th and 8th grade).

Fast forward to my adult life: Growing in Christ did not/has not stopped, leaning on Christ did not/has not stopped and I don’t understand how anyone ‘without Him’, functions daily. I truly don’t. I’ve SEEN God work in my life OVER & OVER again!! I’ve seen him SHOW UP & show off (in a beautiful, divine and spiritual way). I can trace His hand throughout my life thus far and it’s absolutely amazing! 

I don’t deserve Him; I’m a sinner saved by Grace through Faith, and I fail daily; but guess who never waivers - - - God!! I can say any tough times have been useful in helping others after me in similar situations. I have looked back and am in awe at how I’ve grown, what I’ve learned, and how much God loves me!

Summary: I love the Lord and He is my anchor! He is my Rock and my Savior!! He is my Provider!! I am flawed human being and continually strive to learn and grow – I don’t believe that ever ends. But thanks be to God that He chose me – He died for me – He loves me unconditionally.

Amen and Amen!!
