Barb's testimony

I was saved in Jan. of 1999. My testimony I think is what made me so want to spread the Good News. I can sum it up for you so you can get an idea why I feel this way.

At my dh job was a man that loved the Lord and would talk(in length) to him and get goose bumps just talking about Him. My dh was sort of taken in awe that this manly guy was this way. He came home and told me of the talks that he had had with him and we got out the bible(the 1st time in about 10yrs.)We started in conversation about God and I think that's where I felt the Holy Spirit calling me into a deeper searching for answers. Needless to say, I jumped on the train going full force wanting more and more. My dh found things that I had gotten in the mail and was totally mad and ripped them up. Thinking that I had been brain washed, he said I was going too fast and wanted me to stop. I secretly called prayer lines, watched programming, and listened to Christian music w/out him knowing. I had prayed the prayer of salvation and asked my Savior in utter tears for help with my marriage. I continued praying constantly, w/out ceasing, over my husband, declaring Jesus in power over Him and binding satan.

Now, before then I was a SAHM, and a place in my life where I just didn't know my purpose for life. I didn't have any special trades for work and a H.S. drop-out, so I felt totally useless. (Besides being a good mother) My dh totally hethen and I wanted better than the life of fighting we lived. I remember just staring at him just trying to see "inside" and he would get mad. Even though we were H.S. sweethearts and always just had ourselves to lean on, something was not right. I was wanting to end our marriage-seeing that it was useless and not going anywhere. But I have to say that the power of God is stronger than that and didn't want to see my family end like that. My dh knew that I was serious in making a change in our lives. I continued telling him that only God was able to help us.

About 9mo. later, he finally fell to his knees and submitted to Jesus. We went to church that weekend and when they gave the invitation he looked at me and I said "lead the way". We both went foward and the rest is history. We attend church regulary and we both serve on Wed. nights and Sunday in the childrens ministry. We both totally love the church we're at and thank God for his mercy on us.

I guess that's why I am the way I am. I totally saw God work MIRACLES in my life. I just want others to expierence that for themselves and hear what a loving God we have and the Power of the Blood in Jesus!

Thanks for listening! I get tears in my eyes everytime I remember this story!!
