I was thirteen years old, away at summer camp, when the invitation to trust Jesus as my Lord and Savior came my way. I will never forget that day. I was so excited to begin to know my Jesus and learn what it was to walk in Him. Since that day, my life has had many ups and downs. In the high times I was blessed to feel His presence all around me; and in the low times I found myself a friend who promised to never leave or forsake me. Looking back at the last 27 years, I am so blessed to share that there has never been a step I took where my Lord has not walked beside me. I am thankful for that.
On April 25th 1982, my journal reads:
"What a wonderful day it is today. I accepted Jesus.
My heart is joyful and I feel that my spirit is awake."
If was to keep a journal today (I blog instead) I would write the same entry. My spirit is awake and I am so thankful for what He has done for me.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."
John 3:16
