REAL LIFE STORIES - Testimony Books

• Growing up, I was a very shy and quiet little
  girl who loved music. I was raised in the church,
  functioned in several positions, and knew church
  protocol. Every Sunday, we were there and at
  least once more during the week. There were a lot
  of revivals, and we would attend church for the
  entire week.
• I come from a family of singers and musicians on
  both my dads and my moms side. At an early age,
  my sister and I were singing songs such as, How
  Big is God. I continued to sing in church for
  many years during my youth because thats what
  you did where I came from. I sang in the choir. I
  sang about God and heard about God, but I did not
  know God. I did not have a relationship with him.
  I had felt Gods presence before, especially when
  I would sing to Him, but I really didnt know the
  God that I was singing to or about. Testimony

From a child until well into young adulthood, I
was kind of a loner. I felt like I was different
from most of the people I was around, but I
didnt understand why. I wasnt a very sociable
person. Music was my passion, but even when I
would sing in church, I would close my eyes and
not look at the audience because of my shyness.
In my latter teenage years, the Lord began to
draw my heart and reveal Himself to me. At the
age of 19, I gave my heart to God and started to
develop a relationship with Him. I was very eager
to learn more about Him. I always wanted to be in
His presence because I would have such peace, joy
and contentment. When I became a Christian, my
life was transformed, mind, body and spirit.
Everything started changing. God started showing
me that He really was God. A fellow sister in
Christ, my daughter Catherine, and I were out of
town at a church convention. Catherine
accidentally knocked over the iron on herself,
and the circle imprints from the iron were
embedded into her face. My friend and I began to
pray and call on Jesus. To our amazement, God
began to remove those imprints out of my
daughters face, right in front of us. We never
took her to the hospital, and there werent any
scars on her face. Watching God heal my daughter
immediately increased my faith in Him
tremendously.

God proved Himself to me again. I was driving to
the mall to return an item. I drove my dads car,
and I was unaware my dad had been working on the
exhaust system. My sister, brother, and oldest
daughter accompanied me. They waited in the car
that was running because it was the middle of
winter. When I returned to the car, my daughter
was laying on the floor of the car. My sister was
unconscious, and my brother who was in the front
was barely responding. I knew something was
seriously wrong but didnt know what it was. It
never occurred to me to go to the hospital. I
began driving to my pastors house to pray. I
made it to my pastors house, and they prayed
with me. God blessed all three of them. We went
to the hospital afterwards to get them checked,
and everyone was fine. I later asked God about
that situation. He replied, Be still and know
that I am God. I have always loved to sing,
but God had deposited in me a gift to write
songs. I was writing songs for a while without
realizing I was even doing it. God had a divine
purpose to use me to usher a spirit of worship in
the midst of His people. He has birthed songs in
me that exemplified His true character and His
great love for us. I am no longer the quiet and
shy person I used to be. God has given me a
confidence I never knew existed. I can do all
things through Christ who strengthens me. I now
know that I am more than a conqueror through
Christ Jesus. I have been blessed to minister
this wonderful gospel message through the avenue
of music for many years

Just when I finally became comfortable singing in
front of audiences, God made a shift and started
positioning me to declare and preach His word. I
am so blessed that God empowers me to share good
news with people that feel like good news doesnt
even exist. I have had the privilege of
ministering at prisons, monthly at the Salvation
Army, nursing homes, etc. Sharing the good news
that God loves us and wants us to have abundant
life brings me great joy. I have been married
for 32 years. My husband and I have four
beautiful and anointed children. God called my
husband to pastor the ministry that He birthed
through us called Pure Gospel Tracts. Our
children work with us in the ministry. I am
grateful to Him for what He is presently doing in
my life, and I am excited about my future in
Him.This is a REAL LIFE STORIES that carries a
lot of lessons that could be helpful to anyone
passing through a similar situation as you read
through it.
