My Testimony...

I was born and raised in Redford, MI. I was the last of eight children. During my teen years (the 70s) I was caught up in the rebellion of drugs and drinking never considering the danger & destruction I was putting myself in. Chris and I met when we were fifteen. When you put two mixed up kids together, you get an even bigger mess.

We had our first son and were married at sixteen. It went from bad to worse over the next three years. We split up and were headed for divorce, but then a miracle took place. Chris' older brother had become a Christian, had been telling us about Jesus, and was praying for us. Then one day, while listening to some Jesus music in his car, Chris got saved! Shortly thereafter, we were back together trying to work out our marriage. I couldn't believe the change in Chris and I tried to be the same way, but couldn't. It just didn't work. I was trying to turn over a new leaf, but what I didn't understand was that becoming a Christian doesn't happen by changing the outside.

Almost a year went by with nothing but frustration and I came to the realization that I just couldn't change on my own. One day at church, our pastor preached on the crucifixion and it was so real that I felt like I was there. It was at that point that I gave my life over to Jesus Christ.
