Testimony of My Salvation!

Hi, my name is Mavis, this is my story of how God saved me. I believe He saved me in two stages and those stages I will tell you about briefly.

Stage one: I was a stupid teenager and had to do everything my friends were doing and when my friends began to take drugs so did I. It was the thing to do and I didn't want to not be cool. One night we were being cool and that was the night God saved me from drug by using a person to get through to me how dangerous they were, in short, that night God sent me my husband. Even though he was not a Christian, God used him to help me get clean, stay clean, and choose good friends.

Stage two: We married and had each other, but we were still searching and at the time neither of us knew what we were searching for, looking back we know we were searching for peace. Six months after the birth of our first son, we began attending a few churches in the area and during our visits we found people who had what we were searching for, these people had PEACE! They had the peace from knowing the love of God, from the acceptance of Christ, from the promises of God, and I wanted what they had. We began Bible study with a couple that had lived their whole lives with the love of God and they showed it, you could see the love in their faces and could feel it from their hearts. My husband was the first to turn his life over to Christ, then a few days later, I also did. Now I know His peace, I praise God for salvation and love. Sometimes, I still have a rough day, when things just don't go right, but I know God is watching and helping, I know Christ holds my hand and alot of time carries me through the tough times. God is so good to me. I pray you will find what you are searching for also.

What am I doing now? Well, I am a wife, and mom of three boys, which God has impressed on our hearts to homeschool them. We spend our days learning, playing, and loving together.
