Testimony

I was brought up to go to the Church of Scotland, both attending church and Sunday School.  By the time I was Fifteen and left school, I stopped going to church apart from Weddings and Funerals,  I had no interest in God, and went my own way.  This was away back in the fifty's and sixty's, in fact it wasn't until nineteen eighty five things changed.  I had been going through some terrible times and was nearly at the end of my tether, so one night I walked out of my house leaving my husband and family.  I was only going for a walk just to get away and think and in these moments  I thought ' Help me, please help me.'  I went back home.  A few weeks later a friend mentioned that she went to Church, and straight away I decided that I wanted to go.  Time passed and I continued to go to Church.I had had a Bible when I was young but no longer had one, but now I wanted a Bible I wanted to learn more about God, I wanted to search the Scriptures.  I still hadn't asked Jesus in to my life at that moment in time, little did I know what was about to happen.  Little did I know that God had plans for me.

One night I had a dream, this dream was so real. It was a dream  of God and Satan in battle this dream was so intensified, over and over the words 'Jesus is Lord,'  'Jesus Saves' came, and although I tried to put it out of my mind I could not.  The following day I still could not put that dream and these words out of my mind.  I phoned my friend and told her what had happened, I think part of me thought that she would think I was going bonkers but she didn't.  She got in touch with the minister and he came to see me.  I knew then that Christ was calling me to himself and that I needed to ask him forgiveness to my sins and ask Him into my life.  That was in nineteen eighty five.  I was Baptized not long after and Jesus has been my Lord and my Saviour ever since.  Yes, in these years there have been times when I have fallen back, and although in these times I have turned my back on him, God has never turned away from me.  He knew I would be back and come back even stronger.
Jesus is my Lord and my Saviour and I could not do without Him.
