I grew up in a church that I now know was full of false doctrine. It never really stuck with and me when I got old enough to really understand what was being taught I didn't like it. At least I did learn to believe wholly in the one true God; the Father and Jesus His son but I didn't really know them. At 18 I left home and left that religion behind. A couple of years later I met Tim and we were married. Tim began going to a friend's house after work and listening to the gospel. I soon met his wife and we went on a women's retreat together and I was thrilled that the preacher was telling me that Jesus was a personal God, not just a God up in heaven. I did go to the alter, but didn't get saved, I was to self-conscience, but my friend gave me a book that told the story of how Jesus was our salvation. The next night, Tim was at work, I read the short book which stirred my soul and then I knelt down at my bed and had a glorious time of pray and Jesus became my Savior. Tim was very late coming home but then he called me and said he had gone over to his friends house and had gotten saved. I told him I had also received that wonderful blessing and when he got home we worshiped the Lord together in a wonderful time of pray. God Bless :)

Momsage, this is a beautiful testimony to the grace and love of God who woos us to Himself.

Thanks for sharing. May you and Tim be blessed today. My husband and I were both saved before we were married and have had a marriage filled with the presence of God every day. We have been married 44 years. Such a blessing it is to be one in Christ in a marriage!

I'm a widow.

Oh I did not know that. How many years were you married?
