Back in 1989 was when I really became a Christian. Oh I had went through all the motions, I went to the altar when several of my friends did and thought was all it took. I even taught a Sunday School class, sung in the choir and helped with Childrens Church for years. But on a Sunday night in training union class at church the lesson was on Jesus dying on the cross and what all he actually went through. I had heard this before many times all my life but it was different this time. The Lord really spoke to me. It was like he was telling me, Shelia, you need to take me into your heart tonight and make things right or you may never get another chance. When the invitation time came at the end of the worship service my heart was about to pound out of my chest but I went to the altar and our pastor prayed with me. I asked Jesus to save me and come into my heart and it is the best decision that I have ever made!! No, things aren't always a bed of roses. The Lord never promised us that. He did promise us that he will give us the things that we need here on earth to get through the day, and more important, a home in Heaven when we die or when he comes back to Earth to take us home. I fully believe that day is coming soon!!

To any of you who are not a Christian, I beg of you to ask the Lord into your heart and let him be your Saviour. It will be the best decision that YOU ever make too!!

God Bless Each of You!
