Thank you for stopping in to meet me. I wanted to share my testimony with you today because I feel it is important in knowing who I am. God delivered me of major evil that was in my life, and he can save you too. No matter what you have ever done, God can and will wash you clean of all the garbage. All you have to do is surrender. Surrender to Him today. I was one of those people, possibly just like you, that wanted to know nothing about God, because "I already knew Him". When I was about 5 years old, I sat crying on my bed because I didn't want to die. I never knew who God really was. 

Mat 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Up until I was 23 years old, I would call on God when I needed Him. After all... all he was to me was a "drive-thru god" (you know what I mean... "I need you God... but I am not committing to anything.... now give me what I want since I asked... I'll call on you again when I need you). Oh... how it saddens me to even type that now. A friend of my husband, David, kept bugging us to go to church and we finally gave in and said "We will go one time and that is it... then he will leave us alone". Well... Let's just say, we have been going to church for nearly 10 years now, and we thank God Dave did not give up on us. I would love to say everything has been going our way ever since. Actually, the truth is, All hell broke loose, or so it seemed at the time.  

My Lord and Savior Jesus has gotten me through numerous things that I would not have been able to do on my own, nor would I have room enough on any number of sites to explain.(He's done so much!) He delivered me from alcohol, Jehovah's witnesses' beliefs,  pornography & all that  junk that comes with it, (You'll be amazed at the things you will do when you are sucked into that pit) and most important of all... He delivered me from hell. Thank You God.

Psa 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

When I gave my heart to Jesus in 1996. I meant it with all my heart, but found it hard to walk it out. I now know, as my husband would say, "You are only as close to God as you want to be". Oh, how true. When I finally started seeking Him... truly seeking Him... in 2002. I really began to know what I have been missing. I know I have only had a small touch of what God has in store for my life, but I look forward to seeing it clearer as I walk with Him, and seeing what He can and will do when I leave it in His hands. His hands are much bigger anyway. What on earth was I thinking.

I am now a Mother of twin boys. Andy is 10 years old, and Corey went to be with Jesus when he was 6 1/2. Wow, what a challenging time that was. People worried about us losing our faith. The truth is... I knew that was the only thing I could truly count on, and trust was God. Thank You God for peace! My faith has never been stronger, and I know it will become stronger daily as I seek Him. I love worshipping & praising God, doing things as a family, being with my brothers and sisters in Christ, writing letters & listening to Christian music. 

Check out the website I made in memory of Corey. You'll be amazed how much a little boy could impact so many lives in 6 1/2 very short years!

God bless you all.  Just remember, when you feel as helpless and hopeless than you have ever been, you are exactly that.... without God. Jesus Loves You. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I know that I know, and you will too... When you seek Him!

Psa 105:4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

Jer 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

   Love to All,  Melissa
