Q: My first recollection of being in church was…

A. Honestly I don’t remember when I was super little I lived with my Great Aunt and Uncle and she was the head secretary for the Southern Baptist Convention Center in Denton and our Pastor was the head Pastor there… my young life when I was with her was always church… one of the earliest memories I have is getting up before it was light outside and heading to the church because my MeMe was a Sunday school teacher and helped get everything set up for services…. Bu the time service would get there I would fall asleep on her lap and she would play with my hair….

A. I wish I could say now but that’s not honestly the truth… the closest I felt to him was probably during Bible college… at that point in my life I KNEW I was on the track HE had for my life.. somewhere through living life I have lost that exact path even though currently I know I am where HE has placed me.

Q: The time I have felt the greatest doubt or distance from God was…

A. right before I got clean… I overdosed on who knows what and some say I was possessed others say I was touched by angels during that time… all I know is that I was lost and looking for something more… I didn’t know if HE existed. …I was a self-proclaimed Wiccan rebelling against everything I was taught when I was younger

Q: If I could name a turning point in my life for my relationship with God it would be ________ and why?

A. If I could name a turning point in my life for my relationship with God it would be that day on the side of the road when Teri pulled over and offered me a ride and ended up taking me to dinner and why? Because even though I didn’t remember how to pray to God that day I was doing it without knowing it and HE answered my prayers by sending the most different Christian I had ever met to me on the side of the road showing me that HE will meet you WHEREVER you are when you call out to him….Here I was walking down a highway coming back from seeing my youngest son’s dad tried as all get out because I had already walked about 8 miles to the jail with this truck full of guys starts circling around…. And all I can think is good God I hope they don’t stop… please don’t let them stop…. Then a mustang slows and pulls over in front of me and I’m thinking please let this be a ride and not full of guys… we’ll it was Teri and her daughter and she gave me a ride home asked me my story and ended up me to dinner and church with them…

Q: If I had to tell someone why I am a Christian I would have to say…
