'I AM THE WOMAN AT THE WELL'

TESTIMONIES ARE GIVEN TO THE ONES WHO CAN HOLD THEIR HEADS UP HIGH AND TEACH OTHERS FROM THEIR EXPERIENCES.

MY TESTIMONY BEGAN IN THE YEAR 1973 WHEN I WAS 22 YEARS OLD, A DIVORCED MOTHER OF A SON, WHO WAS THEN FOUR YEARS OLD. I WANTED SO MUCH FOR SOMEONE TO LOVE ME AND WHO WOULD BE FAITHFUL TO JUST ME. IT WASN’T IN MY NATURE TO CHEAT NOR WAS IT IN ME TO STAY WITH SOMEONE WHO WAS A CHEATER.

I HAD WONDERFUL PARENTS GROWING UP. BOTH OF THEM WERE MARINES DURING WWII WHO LOVED EACH OTHER AND LOVED THEIR CHILDREN. I AM ONE OF FEW CHILDREN WHO GREW UP IN WHAT I COULD CALL "A PERFECT HOME". MY PARENTS DIDN’T FIGHT, THEY DIDN’T DRINK OR DO DRUGS, NOR DID ANY OF US 'THREE' CHILDREN. MY MOTHER WAS A HOUSEWIFE WHILE MY DAD WORKED TO SUPPORT A FAMILY OF FIVE. NO ONE COULD HAVE ASKED FOR BETTER PARENTS. I GREW UP THINKING THAT LIFE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE JUST LIKE THAT. MARRIED TO ONE PERSON, A NICE HOUSE WITH THE WHITE PICKED FENCE, TWO OR THREE CHILDREN AND NO WANTS OR NEEDS. PERFECT, JUST LIKE MY PARENTS.

AT 16 YEARS OLD AND A JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL WAS WHEN I BEGAN DATING. THINGS STARTED GETTING SERIOUS BETWEEN EDDIE AND I - MY HIGH SCHOOL BOYFRIEND. HE WAS A FOOTBALL PLAYER AND I WAS A CHEERLEADER AT ANOTHER SCHOOL. I WAS AT THE TOP OF MY GAME, HEAD CHEERLEADER, ALL SCHOOL WITTIEST, CLASS FAVORITE, CLASS REPORTER, EVEN EARNED MY OWN HIGH SCHOOL LETTER JACKET THREE YEARS IN A ROW FOR HOLDING THE TITLE OF "NO. 1" GIRLS - SINGLES VARSITY TENNIS PLAYER FOR OUR HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS TEAM.

AT AGE 14 I STARTED GOING TO BEAUTY SCHOOL DURING THE SUMMER AND FINISHED A YEAR AND A HALF LATER WHEN I WAS 16. A LOT HAPPENED DURING THOSE FEW SUMMER MONTHS OF 1968. IN JULY I PASSED MY STATE EXAM FOR COSMETOLOGY, GOT MY DRIVERS LICENSE, STARTED WORKING IN A BEAUTY SALON AND FOUND OUT THAT I WAS SEVERAL MONTHS PREGNANT. I’LL NEVER FORGET THE LOOK ON MY PARENTS FACES WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE A BABY. THEY TRIED TO MAKE ME HAVE AN ABORTION BUT I WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT. THAT MOMENT IN TIME CHANGED ALL OF OUR LIVES FOREVER.

HAVING GIVEN YOU SOME HISTORY I WANT TO FAST FORWARD MY LIFE TO THE YEAR 1975. BY THEN I HAD MARRIED AND DIVORCED MY FIRST BOYFRIEND/HUSBAND, THE FATHER OF MY FIRST CHILD, TWICE, ALONG WITH THREE DIFFERENT OTHER MARRIAGES. I WAS NOW 24 YEARS OLD AND THE OWNER OF MY OWN STYLING SALON IN A HIGH RISE BUILDING DOWNTOWN AUSTIN, TEXAS. MY THEN NEW BOYFRIEND AND I WERE LIVING TOGETHER. MARRIED LIFE WAS FOR ME BUT NOT FOR THE GUYS I WAS CHOOSING. I GUESS YOU COULD SAY I WAS ATTRACTED TO THE "BAD BOYS", BUT I WAS A NURTURING SOUL AND KNEW THAT I COULD FIX THEM! RIGHT !!! WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT ENDS!!

BY NOW I WAS INTO LIVING LIFE IN THE FAST LANE. FEELING LIKE I WAS IN ONE SENSE A 'LOOSER' AND ON THE OTHER HAND I WAS A 'SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS OWNER', I TURNED TO DRUGS TO EASE THE PAIN OF LIVING IN BOTH WORLDS. I STARTED SNORTING COCAINE AND SPEED TO KEEP UP WITH THE FAST PACED LIFE I WAS LIVING AND SMOKING DOPE TO BRING ME DOWN. UPPERS DURING THE DAY AND DOWNERS IN THE EVENING, OR WAS IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND???? BUT I HAD IT ALL UNDER CONTROL!! I OWNED MY OWN BUSINESS AND PEOPLE COULDN’T TELL THAT I WAS HIGH MOST OF THE TIME SO WHAT WAS THE HARM?

AT THE SALON I HAD A SHAMPOO LADY WORKING FOR ME BY THE NAME OF WILMA. ONE DAY SHE INVITED ME TO AN OUTDOOR REVIVAL THAT WAS GOING ON AT HER SMALL 'BLACK BAPTIST' CHURCH JUST OFF OF EAST 16TH STREET. SHE HAD NOTICED ME READING A POCKET "NEW TESTAMENT" DURING SOME DOWN TIME IN THE SALON. I DON'T KNOW WHY I PICKED IT UP, I JUST GOT CAUGHT UP IN JESUS TURNING THE WATER INTO WINE, AND SO ON. THE WORD OF GOD BEGAN TO COME ALIVE, IN MY SOUL AND I TRIED TO SHARE WHAT I WAS READING WITH SOME OF THE GIRLS THAT WORKED FOR ME. EACH STORY JUMPED OUT OFF THE PAGE AND INTO ME. I FOUND MYSELF WANTING BUSINESS TO SLOW DOWN JUST SO I COULD READ MORE. MY SISTER WORKED FOR ME AT THE SALON AND SHE DIDN’T UNDERSTAND WHY I WOULD GET SO EXCITED ABOUT HOW WATER TURNED INTO WINE, OR HOW JESUS WOULD JUST PASS BY A CROWD AND PEOPLE WERE HEALED. WELL, I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND EITHER BUT THE STORIES KEPT PULLING ME IN. THEY THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY BUT I KNEW THAT SOMETHING WAS GOING ON. SO, BY THE TIME I WENT TO THE OUT-DOOR REVIVAL, MY HEART WAS READY. IT DIDN'T TAKE MUCH FOR ME TO RUN TO THE ALTAR WHEN THEY GAVE THE ALTAR CALL. I TOOK MY THEN "LIVE IN BOYFRIEND" WITH ME THAT NIGHT AND THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HIM. WE BOTH GAVE OUR HEARTS TO THE LORD, AT THE LITTLE BAPTIST CHURCH ON EAST 16TH STREET IN A PARKING LOT REVIVAL ON A BEAUTIFUL SEPTEMBER EVENING IN 1975. THE JOY THAT FLOODED MY SOUL WAS OVER-WHELMING.

FOR THE NEXT THREE NIGHTS IN A ROW, I FOUND MYSELF WAKING UP - LOOKING OVER AT THE CLOCK - AND THEN GETTING UP TO GET A GLASS OF WATER, GO TO THE RESTROOM AND THEN BACK TO BED TO GET A FEW MORE HOURS OF SLEEP BEFORE HAVING TO GET UP AND START MY DAY. IT WAS THE SECOND NIGHT THAT I REALIZED I HAD WOKE UP AT THE SAME TIME THE NIGHT BEFORE, 1:11AM. THE THIRD NIGHT WAS THE SAME, 1:11AM. BY THEN I WAS FEELING THAT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING WAS TRYING TO GET MY ATTENTION, AND THE FEELING WAS SCARY YET EXCITING. COULD IT BE GOD DOING THIS? I REMEMBER GOING TO WORK THE ON THE FOURTH MORNING AND WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF GIVING A HAIRCUT, GOD SPOKE TO ME AND I SPOKE TO HIM, WHILE NEVER MISSING A STROKE OF THE SCISSORS, IT WAS LIKE I WAS HAVING AN OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE. I WAS CUTTING HAIR BUT I WAS PLANNING A DATE WITH GOD FOR THAT NIGHT AT 1:11AM AGAIN. I WAS TELLING GOD THAT IF IT WAS REALLY HIM, TO COME BACK THAT NIGHT AT THE SAME TIME, 1:11AM. I WAS PLANNING THE ROBE I WAS GOING TO WEAR AFTER GETTING UP OUT OF BED, AND WHAT WOULD TAKE PLACE AFTER THAT. IT PLAYED OUT LIKE A MOVIE FOR WHAT SEEMED TO BE SEVERAL MINUTES DEALING WITH WHAT I WOULD DO STEP BY STEP AFTER GETTING UP OUT OF BED. I WANTED TO PROVE THIS WAS ALL MY IMAGINATION, AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS LIKE I WAS BEING LURED IN LIKE A RABBIT GOING INTO A CAGE TO GET THE CARROT. SO MY PLAN WAS TO OUT-WIT GOD AND STAY AWAKE UNTIL 1:11AM CAME AND WENT, THEN I WOULD KNOW THAT IT WASN’T HIM. I GUESS YOU COULD SAY I WAS DISCERNING BEFORE I KNEW WHAT DISCERNING WAS. I STAYED AWAKE UP TO WHAT I REMEMBER AS BEING REALLY CLOSE TO 1:00AM. I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHEN MY HEAD HIT THE PILLOW OR WHEN MY EYES SHUT. ALL I KNOW IS THAT GOD PUT ME TO SLEEP AND GOD WOKE ME UP AT 1:11AM - ON THE DOT AS THOUGH I HAD BEEN ASLEEP FOR HOURS!! MY BOYFRIEND HAD ALREADY GONE TO SLEEP, I DIDN'T TELL HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH ME AND MY SO CALLED - DATE WITH GOD. HE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY AND PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LEFT ME, AND I DIDN’T WANT TO BE ALONE AGAIN. REALLY, WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD BELIEVE ME, YOU ARE PROBABLY WONDERING YOURSELF RIGHT NOW???

AS MY EYES OPENED UP I LOOKED OVER AT THE CLOCK – AND IT SAID, 1:11AM, SO I KNEW RIGHT THEN WHAT I HAD TO DO! I HAD TO DO JUST WHAT I HAD TOLD GOD I WOULD DO. I WAS SO-O-O-O-O SCARED BUT BEING A PERSON OF MY WORD, GOD KNEW THAT I WOULD FOLLOW THROUGH WITH WHAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT EARLIER THAT DAY. I WAS ABOUT TO MEET THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE FACE TO FACE! SURELY MY FRIGHT WOULD KILL ME AND THEN NO ONE WOULD KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO ME BECAUSE I HADN’T TOLD ANYONE ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON, NO ONE. SO I GOT UP OUT OF BED, WENT TO MY CLOSET AND IN THE DARK GRABBED THE ROBE I HAD ENVISIONED I WOULD WARE. THAT SCARED ME! MY NEXT STEP WAS TO GO TO THE FRONT DOOR AND OPEN IT. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT OR WHO I WAS GOING TO SEE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR. I WAS SO FRIGHTENED, BUT I KNEW THAT THERE WAS NO BACKING OUT NOW. I REACHED FOR THE DOOR KNOB AND BEGAN TO TURN IT SLOWLY AS I WAS SHAKING, LIKE I WAS SNEAKING UP ON GOD OR SOMETHING. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT NO ONE WAS THERE! SO I WENT OUTSIDE AND SAT ON THE FIRST OF THREE STEPS THAT LED DOWN TO THE PARKING LOT OF MY FOUR-PLEX. I LOOKED AROUND IN THE SILENCE OF THE EVENING, NOT A CLOUD IN THE SKY, IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SEPTEMBER EVENING. I WASN’T DEAD, I MADE IT PAST OPENING THE FRONT DOOR SO I THOUGHT THAT A GOOD THING TO DO WAS TO PRAY, BUT I DIDN’T KNOW HOW. I PUT MY HANDS TOGETHER LIKE A CHILD WOULD DO - THAT WAS A GOOD PLACE TO START!

I REMEMBER MY HEART BEGAN TALKING TO GOD WITH FEAR AND EXCITEMENT AT THE SAME TIME. I WAS THANKING HIM FOR NOT LETTING ME DIE OF HEART FAILURE BY SEEING HIM STANDING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR WHEN I OPENED IT. ALL AT ONCE I HEARD A NOISE - LIKE A MIGHTY RUSHING WIND COMING FROM BEHIND ME THROUGH THE TREES. TO SAY THE LEAST, I FROZE! I COULDN'T TURN AROUND - AND DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO. I KNEW THAT I WAS GOING TO BE LIKE DOROTHY IN THE 'WIZARD OF OZ'. I WOULD GET TAKEN UP AND LAND IN ANOTHER STATE BY THE FORCE OF THE WIND THAT I HEARD. IT SOUNDED LIKE A TORNADO, A REALLY BIG ONE, BUT THERE WASN’T A CLOUD IN THE SKY, WHERE WAS THIS WIND COMING FROM?? ALL I COULD DO IS HOLD MY HANDS TOGETHER EVEN TIGHTER. THIS WIND BLEW RIGHT THROUGH ME! I HEARD A VOICE IN THE WIND, THAT SAID, "PEACE - BE STILL". ONCE AGAIN I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED! ALL I COULD THINK TO DO WAS TO GET UP, GO INSIDE AND OPEN THE BIBLE THAT SAT ON MY COFFEE TABLE, YOU KNOW – THE PLACE WHERE MOST PEOPLE KEEP A BIBLE! LOL!! I FELT LIKE READING SOMETHING, BUT WHAT???? I HAD NO IDEA WHERE TO BEGIN – I HAD JUST READ A LITTLE BIT OUT OF A NEW TESTAMENT POCKET BIBLE, BUT WHERE DO YOU START??? THE ONLY SCRIPTURE I KNEW OF WAS PSALM 23. MOM WOULD TELL ME THAT DURING THE WAR WHEN SHE WAS FRIGHTENED SHE WOULD TURN TO THIS SCRIPTURE THAT WOULD GIVE HER COMFORT. SO I TURNED TO THE MIDDLE OF THE BIBLE, (AT LEAST THAT WAS WHERE SHE SAID IT WAS) AND BEGAN READING IT. THE WINDOWS OF MY LIVING-ROOM WALL FACED THE PARKING LOT. MY SOFA SAT JUST UNDER THE WINDOWS SILLS. FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOWS TO THE GROUND OUT SIDE PARKING LOT IT WAS ABOUT SEVEN OR EIGHT FEET DOWN, SO NO ONE COULD STAND AT THE WINDOW AND SEE IN, EVEN A SEVEN FOOT MAN.

AS I BEGAN TO READ THE 23RD PSALM, I HEARD SNARLING AND SCRATCHING SOUNDS ON THE SCREENS JUST ABOVE MY HEAD. I HAD NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THAT – EVER BEFORE! IT WAS AN EVIL AND SCARY SOUND, I COULDN'T MOVE! I COULDN’T BELIEVE WHAT WAS HAPPENING, THINGS JUST KEPT GETTING STRANGER AND STRANGER. I WAS AFRAID THAT WHAT EVER WAS OUT THERE WAS ABOUT TO KILL ME IF I GOT UP AND TRIED TO RUN INTO THE OTHER ROOM. OUT OF FEAR I SHUT MY EYES AND I HEARD JESUS SAY,"KEEP READING - DON'T STOP". I JUST KNEW HE WAS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, I COULD EVEN SEE A WHITE FIGURE THAT WAS GLOWING BUT HE DIDN’T LET ME LOOK UP. MY EYES WERE GLUED TO THE VERSES OF PSALM 23 AND AS I CONTINUED TO READ I COULD HEAR THE SCRATCHING AND SNARLING SOUND AT THE WINDOW GETTING FARTHER AND FARTHER AWAY AND A PEACE COMING INTO ME FROM THE FIGURE STANDING IN FRONT OF ME. I KNOW THIS ALL SOUNDS WEIRD BUT EVERYTHING HAS UP UNTIL NOW AND TRUST ME, IT WAS THEN TOO!!

AS I CONTINUED READING I COULD SEE THIS GLOWING FIGURE WALKING CLOSER TO ME. AGAIN, I COULDN’T LOOK UP, MY EYES WERE GLUED TO THE PAGES WHILE I WAS FINISHING READING THE 23RD PSALM. HE WAS THERE, I COULD SEE HIS FORM IN FRONT OF ME BUT HE WOULDN’T LET ME LOOK UP. I COULD FEEL THE EVIL PRESENCE BEING DRIVEN FARTHER AND FARTHER AWAY FROM THE WINDOW ABOVE ME. JESUS WAS DOING BATTLE 'OVER AND THREW' ME AT THE SAME TIME. ONCE AGAIN I WAS IN SHOCK AND COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. THERE I WAS - ON THE COUCH - I COULDN'T MOVE, SO I JUST CLOSED MY EYES TO TRY AND GET A GRIP ON ALL THAT HAD JUST HAPPENED UP UNTIL THEN. IT WAS LIKE A MOVIE TAKING PLACE ALL AROUND ME BUT NOT OF THIS WORLD. AS I CLOSED MY EYES I SAW A VISION OF A HAMMER AND ANVIL STAMPING OUT, " JOHN IV " ON A LARGE STONE. I OPENED MY BIBLE TO THE FRONT INDEX AND BEGAN LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE WAS A JOHN IV. THERE WAS ONLY ONE! JUST LIKE I SAW IT IN MY VISION, THERE IT WAS IN THE INDEX. I FOUND JOHN IV AND BEGAN TO READ: 'THE STORY OF THE LADY AT THE WELL'. I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I WAS READING, IT WAS MY LIFE, RIGHT THERE ON THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE, IN BLACK AND WHITE. THIS WASN’T JUST ANOTHER STORY IN THE BIBLE, IT WAS ABOUT ME! THE LORD WAS SHOWING ME HOW HE HAD ALWAYS BEEN THERE THROUGH ALL OF THE FAILURES AND HEARTACHES I WENT THROUGH LOOKING FOR LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES. JESUS WAS SHOWING ME, JUST LIKE HE DID "THE WOMAN AT THE WELL", THAT IF I CONTINUED TO DRINK FROM THE WELL OF THIS WORLD THAT I WOULD NEVER BE SATISFIED. HE WAS SHOWING ME THAT "HE" WAS ALL I NEEDED! YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY, HOW JESUS ASKED THE WOMAN TO:"GO AND FETCH THY HUSBAND", SHE SAID; "I HAVE NO HUSBAND". JESUS SAID, "FOR TRULY YOU HAVE SPOKEN, YOU HAVE NO HUSBAND, FOR YOU HAVE BEEN MARRIED 5 TIMES AND YOU ARE NOW LIVING WITH A MAN WHO IS NOT YOUR HUSBAND!!"YOU SEE, I AM THE MODERN DAY WOMAN AT THE WELL. I HAD BEEN MARRIED 5 TIMES AND WAS LIVING WITH A MAN THE VERY NIGHT GOD CALLED ME TO HIM WHEN HE WOKE ME UP AT 1:11AM - FOUR NIGHTS IN A ROW. I PROMISED GOD THAT I WOULD DRINK OF HIS LIVING WATER AND NEVER EVER FORGOT HOW HE CALLED ME OUT EVEN WHILE I WAS YET IN SIN.

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, THE SCRATCHES ON THE SCREENS WERE REAL. THE NEXT MORNING THERE WERE DEEP CLAW LIKE TEARS IN THE THE SCREEN JUST ABOVE WHERE I SAT ON THE COUCH. MY LIFE HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME, AND IT WASN'T BECAUSE I WAS SCARED INTO BELIEVING IN GOD. HE KNEW I WASN'T HAPPY WITH MY LIFE AND THAT I NEEDED SOMETHING WORTH LIVING FOR. I BEGAN TO GIVE GOD MY ALL AND NOT LOOK BACK, AND I PUT ALL MY PAST FAILURES UNDER THE BLOOD AND TRUST GOD WITH EVERYTHING.

MANY ARE CALLED, BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN, AND I KNEW THAT HE HAD CHOSEN ME TO BE A WARRIOR FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD. THIS WASN'T A SWEET LITTLE PRAYER TO COME TO JESUS - THIS WAS WARFARE THAT TOOK PLACE. I KNEW THAT THERE WASN’T ANYONE LIKE JESUS THAT WOULD CARE ABOUT ME AS MUCH AS I NEEDED TO BE LOVED AND CARED FOR. I MADE JESUS MY HUSBAND, MY BEST FRIEND, MY LOVER, MY EVERYTHING! I HAD A PEACE IN MY HEART THAT IF I WAS TO EVER HAVE MY HEARTS DESIRE, IT WOULD BE ON GOD’S TIME AND TERMS, NOT MINE! ONCE I HAD GIVEN MYSELF AND MY HEART COMPLETELY TO HIM, HE GAVE ME MY HEARTS DESIRE. I HAVE BEEN MARRIED TO THE MAN GOD CHOSE FOR ME FOR GOING ON 13 YEARS NOW. THAT IS ANOTHER STORY WE CAN TALK ABOUT SOME OTHER TIME! I AM STILL GOING INTO THE CITIES, TELLING ALL THOSE WHO WILL LISTEN TO ME ABOUT A MAN WHO TOLD ME ALL THE THINGS THAT EVER I DID!!!!!!!! JOHN IV–"THE WOMAN AT THE WELL".

IF YOU CAN GET GLORY OUT OF WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THEN USE ME LORD. GOD HAS PUT WITHIN ME A MINISTRY FOR WOMAN. A MINISTRY THAT HELPS WOMAN TO STOP LOOKING BACK AT THE WRONG CHOICES THEY HAVE MADE - AND BEGIN TO LOOK AT THEIR FUTURE AND TO LEARN TO WALK IN A "LOVE" RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. TO BE ABLE TO BE SET FREE EVERY TIME THEY SHARE THEIR STORY WITH SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS BEEN BEATEN DOWN BY THE STORMS OF LIFE.

I WANT MY TESTIMONY TO HELP WOMEN BE DELIVERED FROM SATAN’S LIES THAT THEY ARE WORTHLESS, AND TEACH THEM TO LOVE JESUS MORE THAN ANYTHING OR ANYONE. I KNOW WHAT A FAILURE I FELT LIKE AND I ALMOST DIDN’T MAKE IT THROUGH THOSE YEARS. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THE WOMAN AT THE WELL FELT LIKE BEFORE JESUS PASSED BY THE WELL TO MEET WITH HER. I KNOW GOD WANTS ALL OF US TO USE OUR HURTS AND PAINS TO HELP OTHERS MAKE IT OUT AND BE SET FREE. I AM FREE AND I KNOW WHO I AM IN CHRIST AND WILL CONTINUE TO GROW STRONGER EVERY DAY UNTIL HE CALLS ME HOME. IT HELPED ME TO KNOW THAT JESUS ALREADY KNEW ME EVEN BEFORE I KNEW HIM. HE LOVED ME JUST LIKE I WAS.

I AM NOW MARRIED TO MY LAST HUSBAND, THAT’S BECAUSE THE LORD TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD BE MY HUSBAND FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. HE WAS PREPARING FOR ME THE MAN HE WANTED ME TO HAVE. GOD DID A MUCH BETTER JOB AT FINDING ME A HUSBAND THAN I EVER DID. I WASN'T GOING TO GIVE UP ON MY DREAM OF BECOMING HAPPY IN THIS LIFETIME; THE HARDEST LESSON FOR ME TO LEARN WAS TO TRUST GOD WITH EVERYTHING, WITH ALL OF MY HEART, MIND AND SOUL AND ALL MY DREAMS.

KEEP HIM FIRST AND HE WILL GIVE YOU YOUR HEARTS DESIRES. MOST OF ALL - NEVER STOP HAVING A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS EVEN WHEN HE DOES GIVE YOU YOUR HEARTS DESIRE!!! TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.

CAROL.
