Saturday, November 14, is a glorious day for me! It marks my 31st anniversary of salvation. I still remember the day when I walked down the aisle to take my pastor’s hand, and then was counseled. When I walked home that evening, I told God, “I’m not sure if I’ve done the right thing, but I believe I have and trust you.”
One month earlier had found me crying on my living room couch when I told God, “I don’t like life. There is no reason for me to live. If there is something more, please show me.” He did.
I can’t imagine how my life would have turned out if I’d never found God and His saving grace through Jesus. Life is never easy, but with faith in God and fellowship with Jesus, I can get through each day.
The 14th is a good day for me. I was born on March 14th; Jerry and I married on December 14th, and March 2010 will be the 14th year of employment with the Baptist Convention. I’m expecting it to me a very good year!
CONGRATULATIONS! 2010 WILL CERTAINLY BE A BANNER YEAR MY FRIEND!
ReplyDeleteI remember the day and where I was as well.
Hamilton Presby Church, Mariner's room, Sept 11, 1964. I was sitting in the back row, in the corner under the window. What a great God to give us these days of rememberance!
Happy anniversary!
Your post made me scramble to do math of my own. This year marks 34 years for me as coming to know Christ. Which means I'll be turning 35 years old on my next "rebirthday". I like that number a whole lot better then my physical birthday number. Well look how you have blessed me, not only by a great post, but the clock has been turned back 17 years....Yippy! Happy Rebirthday Carol!
