I came to Christ, one dark Lonely night--all by myself, having 3 young
children, husband deserted me, was getting ready to be thrown out of my
step-father's fathers house, No Money, God brought me to my knees--I
knew He Was The Answer, but I couldn't seem to find Him--I kept crying
out to Him--Uncontrollable sobbing, on my knees most of that night with
My Bible in my hands, Finally, I was led to read Matthew, I read, until
I came to Matthew 6:28-32 and it was as if a warm blanket of Wonderous
Happiness, Peace and Contentment came over me as the words Jumped off
the pages--I Suddenly knew without a doubt that God was going to take
care of everything--I felt so at Ease, so at Peace, and I Praised Him
and Thanked over and over and I drifted off to a Wonderful nights sleep
that I hadn't had in a LONG time!!
The days that followed were unbelievable miracles that took place--I
had a Yard sale to raise money for a place to live and food to eat for
me and my children, until I could find a job. I Made over $3,000.00 at
that yard sale--A Miracle in itself---- I had nothing worth that kind of
money--It came from Our Heavenly Father, like Jesus took the childs
lunch and mutiplied it to feed thousands, with left overs--2 weeks later
I got a call from my attorney, who was persuing child support for me,
his secretary told me there was a check waiting for me at his office--I
asked what check--where did it come from--The Secretary said it seems
that your ex-husband has paid $2,000.00 plus in back child support--My
ex didn't even have a job!!!Come to find out his Parents decided to pay
it, Why, Because God softened their hearts--because thay didn't like
me--in fact couldn't stand me, there could be no other way, that they
would have paid that money, since my ex. had no job, the state could n!
ot force him to pay--at least in the state of VA. back in the 80's!!
Everything fell into place-- I was going to a Wonderful Little
Church-- I went before everyone and Proclaimed Jesus as my Savior and
thats the Short Version of how I came To Christ-- I Think its Unique,
Awesome and Amazing, of what God did for me because of my Brokedness,
bringing me to my knees, teaching me that I Can Not Do Anything Without
Him and Showing me what HE could Do For Me Once I Put My Total Trust in
Him--Yet I Never expected a thing--I just wanted His Love and Peace and
His Fullfillment of that awful Void in My Heart and I knew and accepted,
whatever would take place after that night of Brokedness, whether I
still had no place to live or no food, I Trusted Him in Whatever Took
Place, that whatever happened He Would Bring Me Through it--I didn't
Pray for Money or all the other needs--for I knew that He already Knew
My Needs, and that He would Provide Whatever He saw fit!!! Another
Experience happened to me, in which God Showed me how He Wanted me to
Minister His!
Word.
For Many, Many Years, I kept Asking God---Where Are My Gifts??--I
Can't sing, I can't Play a Musical Instrument-Among The Many OtherThings
I Can't Do-LORD, Tell Me What Can I Do??Because I Want To Make A
Difference In People's Lives!!One Day A Friend Of Mine Came Along And I
Asked HerThat Very Same Question!!!She Said--Debbie, You Can't See It
Can You??I Said See What??You Have The Gift Of COMPASSION!!!I Laughed At
Her!!!I Said So What--Thats Nothing!!!Then A Seris Of Events, Happened
To Me, In Which I spent an Agonizing 12 Hours in Jail That Gave Me A
Look at People In Prison!!!(And, Yes ,This Could Happen To You—Anybody—A
Simple Mistake and Off You Go!!!!) And Then It Hit Me, Like a Soft
Whisper Of a Beautiful Bird in my Ear!!!This Is What I Want You To Do,
Said ‘The Holy Spirit’!!!!Minister To These People, They Are Lost , In
Dispair,Forgotton, Never Been Loved Before---Tell Them That I Love
Them--Help Them See Me and I'm Crying As I Tell You This, Because It WAS
The Most AWESOME EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE, After getting Saved, of
course!!!Life Changing!!!Then I Found Christian Pen Pals---That Is God
Led Me There and I Have Changed Lives--You Would Not Believe The Lives
that I have Changed From God Through Me!!!To See Someone That Is SO
LOST—Searching, More Aware of their own Mistakes/Wrong Paths, Than We
Are!! Then, Through The Words, That God Inspires Me To Write, OH!!!The
Most AWESOME CHANGE TAKES PLACE IN THEIR HEARTS!!! So Why wouldn't you
want to show someone whether it be a prisoner or someone else the
Pathway to Jesus--Does it make a difference whether he/she is in jail or
not?I Know It Doesn't-- I put It all In Jesus' Hands, For I'm only His
Vessel to start the seed, to help someone see the need, The Rest Is up
