Three years ago I watched my then seven and fourteen year old daughters go down to the alter at church.  My youngest Jenna went first, and a few Sundays later my older daughter Talor went down. Prior to coming to this church my children had not had the chance to attend because of my life style. I was not doing drugs or hooked on alcohol.  I was not stealing or being mean. I just did not attend church. Needless to say my emotions were running high at this time and after services one day I went to our pastor and told him that I wanted to be saved.  He lead me through the sinners prayer that day.  I have since attended on a regular basis, studied, and learned quite a bit.  Some of the things I kept hearing from people that I have known most of my life were things like, you have always had a big heart, or you have always had compassion and love for others. Well Lord I must be saved!   I am an early riser most mornings and this morning being no different from the rest, I got up and called out to my Father in prayer. I have to be honest and tell you that I have cried out his name more times in the past few months than at any other time in my life. This morning when I began to pray it was different. The only way I can explain it is this, I feel like he put his hand on my shoulder and said, child why do you call out to me, Father! I do not know you as my child. I can not explain the emotion that came over me, but I can tell you I could not get to him fast enough. I asked Jesus into my heart, I wanted and needed him to be my Lord and Saviour. I wanted to live for him. I asked for forgiveness for my sins and gave my life to him. I had the head knowledge, I was not being bad, but I do not believe that I was saved before six oclock this morning.  Had my life ended before that time I surly would have gone to hell. Praise God for revealing to me my lack of salvation. I thank him for all of the things that I have gone through these last couple of years because without it I would not be where I am today.   My salvation is secure! Praise his name!   Praise God!    Praise God!    Praise God!
