I lived the life of a serial sinner. You name it. I probably did it. One day, my oldest son and parent of 2 called me and said "dad, I've got cancer".

I was raised in a devout Catholic home and received religious instruction daily and immediately all of the miracles God had performed came back to me, especially Christ's resurrection. I prayed to God to save my son because his 2 young children needed this gentle, loving man to raise them or they would be lost. My prayer was not to make a bargain with God, that "If You will save him, I'll do this". I just gave myself back to God.

God has changed my life. I was truly born again when I asked God for help.

I need to mention that my son added that "Dad, I've also got a spot on my liver and my lung.

Four weeks later after surgery, and exhausting tests the spots on the liver and lung were miraculously gone. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

I also was brought up in a christian home. Mom played the piano in church and quartets, and my father was a deacon. I was saved at the age of nine and baptized. I went to church and participated in all the activities but never really made a connection. As a teen I didn't hang out with the best of crowds but continued to do the "church thing" as my parents directed me to. I met my wife in my senior year of high school and her a junior. (We will celebrate our 36th anniversary this year, but not without the presence of GOD in our lives). After marriage I rebelled a bit and decided since I was on my own now I could make my own decisions, thus I quit going to church except maybe once a month. GOD blessed us with our son and through that helped me to realize how important it was to have GOD in our lives as we should. We began tithing and GOD blessed more than I could have imagined, and continues to. Our marriage began to bloom and life style changed. Now 36 years later my 7 year old granddaughter trusted GOD as her personal savior. What a blessing. If not for the LOVE OF GOD I would have been divorced a long time ago and the chances are my son and his family may not have known the way to the cross. Thanks!

I grew up in a Christian family. As a young girly grandmother broke the Buddhist path and found the

Through a very Godly Sunday School teacher's gently prompting, I knew as a young child that I needed to ask God to forgive my sins and ask Him to come live in my heart. But as so many have testified here, I, too, fell away from the Lord's leading as a teenager, rebelling against my parents and the Lord. When I found myself pregnant for the second time, I knew that this time God was trying to tell me something. I got on my knees and asked God to forgive me for trying to be my own boss. I confessed that I only messed things up and that I needed HIM to lead me. God blessed me with a baby daughter and soon after, with a Godly husband. I'm not perfect, and I still struggle with wanting to be my own boss. But the Lord always reminds me how I just mess it all up when I try to LIVE it WITHOUT the Lord! It simply doesn't work!

At age 40 I contracted a disease called Guillian Barre' Syndrome. I was paralyzed for 6 months and in the hospital for 100 days. During this time, I had many conversations with God and I felt his love surround me. I knew I would be well again. Even though I left the hospital in a wheel chair I knew I would walk again. Not only did I walk but I ran the Peachtree Road Race 5 months later and I hiked Vail Mountain in the same month. God touched me and I have had an unbelievable relationship with him during the past 20 years.

I was raised in a devout Catholic family and knew God from an early age. I knew Him as a child until in 11th grade I made a retreat by the name of "Search for Christian Maturity" I experienced Christ love and acceptance and presence that weekend and began a life of knowing Him deeper and with greater conviction. The times I became distanted were of my action not His. He has remained my constant savior and the blessing I see daily are gifts from him. It is not me but He who is present in me.

I grew up in a Christian family.
I however, stopped going to church during high school. The Lord never left me; there was always that whisper in my heart. But, I covered that voice with all my sinful ways. I lived my life completely how I thought was best for me. Drinking, drugs, sex, and pornography. I was well along my way down the wrong path.
At 27 I married the girl that all my partying led me to. We continued to live completely Godless, selfishly, and without purpose. Three years later we were divorced, and that led me farther into a deeper hole of despair. I turned to alcohol, and countless hours of work to soothe my guilt, shame, and worthlessness.
I eventually started to date a girl - the Lord was starting to change my life here. Little did I realize but this girl I was so strangely attracted to would unselfishly walk along side all my brokenness, encourage me, and lead me back to Christ. We eventually started going to my families church together, tithing, praying together, and watching Life Church online together during the week as an extra encouragement.
I went back to school, got a degree, found passion for life again, rebuilt my relationship with my father, got married, and got baptized together!!!
Being married and being devoted followers of Jesus Christ has become a daily passion of our life.
The Lord has truly loved me in all His grace and mercy, and I'm so thankful
for all of His many blessings.

MY LIFE BEFORE I MET CHRIST I WAS A LITTLE SHY GROWING UP BUT I WAS ALWAYS SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO BE MY FRIEND. I ALWAYS DID WHAT I WAS TOLD BY MY MOM HOUSE CHORES.I WAS A HUMBLE KID DIDNT HANG AROUND THE CROWD TO MUCH.I MET CHRIST BACK IN 1988 MOTHERS DAY WEEKEND AT MY AUNT'S CHURCH IN ATLANTA IT FELT GOOD KNOWING THAT IT WAS OKAY TO GET TO KNOW PEOPLE WHO LOVED THE LORD AND THAT HE WAS BLESSING MY AND WATCHING OVER ME ALL ALONG AND THROUGHOUT MY LIFE. HE HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE HE KEPT ME OUT OF HARMS WAY HE LED MY TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND TO HELP PEOPLE NOT TO HURT THEM.HE KEPT ME STRONG AND TO GROW STRONGER IN THE LORD I AM HAPPY AND CONTENT AND I LEARNED THAT A CANNOT CHANGE THE PAST BUT I CAN DO BETTER IN THE FUTURE.I AM A SINGLE PARENT RAISING A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD SON HIS FATHER DIED IN 2001 AND I NEEDED ALL THE PRAYER THAT I COULD HAVE RECIEVED THEN AND IS STILL PRAYING FOR OUR HEALTH AND STRENGHTH. I THANK GOD FOR MAKING A WAY FOR US AND FOR HIM LOVING US JUST BECAUSE.

Before i met Christ i was an alcoholic and one day i was driving my car drunk and i hit a pillar in front of a house and hit my head in the windshield i was out till the next morning and for my surprise nobody came to help me, so when i wake up i get out of my car and pushed it back so i could see the damage it was not drivable so i told God take me home and i will give my life too You and sins then i accepted Christ in my life and that was 11years ago and i was reseltly ordain as a PasterGod is good.

Without listening to Gods voice every second of every day, I would be so lost and so sad, God is the reason for me getting up in the morning and living each day until he comes back to fetch us, before I gave my life over to him, I was lost in a nothingness, now every day by grace I try to listen and do what he wants me, I miss a lot of his guidance, but when I do as he says, without asking questions, my day is full of joy and wonder at his works and how he does it. He is my Alpha and Omega. My Pappa.

My family survived the grief of a totalitarian regime, war, disease, death and growing up in a very secular environment. I now realize that my mother’s stealth faith in Jesus Christ allowed him to guide us through it all. I was a leech on her stealth belief, a cultural Christian most of my life. At one point tragedy separated me from God and his church, and it was tragedy that brought me back. Since then, God has chiseled away at my hardened heart. The more I know Him the more wondrous He is in my eyes, and the more peaceful I become. It is nothing short of a beautiful miracle.

Since my mother passed when I was only three, I was raised by my aunt,uncle,grand mom,grand dad.Uncle would pray at night,aunt would prod me to church,grand dad lived a godly life and grand mom told me the meaning of the picture of Christ standing at the door waiting to come in.I came to Christ at the age of twelve and and fell short so many times after.My life now is so much better now after I know that I am nothing without the Lord on my side.That is the peace that pass all understsnding.What a price he paid,what a gift he gave.

I became a Christian fully 8 years ago when I found my husband of 24 years had had another affair, he had been seeing the lady for about a year. I felt totally stupid but a voice kept coming into my head telling me I had to forgive him. 8 years on he has now married Anne and are happy. We have managed to divorce and through it all have managed to stay on friendly terms. My two children and I have moved on. I feel at peace with God in control of my life

That is the Real Deal right there Maureen.

When my Second Wife(not Mom) Filed we were were both attending a Certain Baptist Church...My Kids needed me--I had to go. Had to--they Needed Me.

She Filed--Had to leave her--I did not Fit Her Profile.
---------------------------
Littleman two years later came to live with me(Yes Custody Battle and the rest)No Support--No Income(closed the 20-year business in 06)

She(Mom)called me yesterday and we had a good conversation about Littleman...(now that He is back with Mom). And Dad is paying Support once more...(Child-Support never Ends)

She said: "You have Hit the Nail on the Head with everything you have recognized in him..."(now that he has been back with her for a Year or So)
--------------------
But she still wants what little bit is left(she filed 96)...He just wants to see his Dad.

You got the Kids and the Support and everything else?

See I did not Manage--I just Manned-Up.
------------------------
I would prepare for the Day when they reach Majority--They will Move On then.

You have Moved On? Those Kids still need their Dad.
