My parents were living in Oklahoma when my mother became very ill. She dropped down to only 100 pounds and was given up by the doctors to die. My father thought a change of climate might help her, so they moved to Arizona. She only became worse, though, and wanted to return home.
The hand of God led my parents, and through some Christian friends in Dallas, Oregon, we moved there and came into contact with the Apostolic Faith Church. I am glad we did, because it changed everything in our home. The people from the church prayed for my mother and the Lord healed her and added more than fifty years to her life.
As a result of that healing, I was brought up in a wonderful Christian home, and was taken to church and Sunday school, for which I am thankful. The time came when I too, asked Jesus to come into my life. I repented of my sins and asked Him to take out the desire for the things of the world. He answered my prayer.
I have had many wonderful privileges in the Gospel through the years, as a minister’s wife and as a violinist in our church orchestras in the cities where we have lived. Last winter we spent a month in the West Indies, with our missionaries, ministering from place to place. What a thrill it was to give out the message of salvation to hungry hearers, and to pray with them when they, too, sought the Lord!
Being a Christian brings the greatest joy one can find in this life. I love the Lord with all my heart.
