I did not
become a born again Christian until after
marrying my husband in 1979, so
I know very well
the life on"both sides" of
faith. And I can tell you
without hesitation that I would
never go back to
my former worldly existence for
-- well, the world.
Jesus came
into my life in answer to my husband's
prayers, and he accepted me as I
was -- a sinner.
Caught up
in the world of sex, drinking, and wild
partying, I thought I was happy.
But I wasn't.
I was lonely. I felt adrift.
And so one day I prayed.
I asked God to send someone into
my life who would
not only stay with me, but lead
me back to Him.
That night I "happened" to
drive through the back
gate of Langley AFB (something I
never did because
that gate was well out of my way)
and I met
Charles Dugas, the man I would later
marry.
The ironic
thing is, I had actually met Charlie a full
year before when passing through
another gate.
That time it had been about to rain
and I had jokingly called
out to him that I hoped he had his
raincoat. He laughed,
pulled a Bible out of his back pocket
and declared:
"This will keep me dry!"
Good Lord - a Jesus freak.
I just smiled and drove away.
Little did I know what God had in store for me.
We were married
six weeks after that second
meeting. I got saved a good
two months later,
and let me tell you, I put Charlie
through some
hurtin' before then. He used
to say he never
knew what mood I was going to be
in when
he got home.
Well, the
Lord helped even me out. And he
gave me a wonderful son. Joseph
Daniel was
born under grace, ten days after
our 1st wedding
anniversary, and he has been a warrior
for the
Lord all his life.
Praise Jesus!
So now you
know. I'm not perfect, never was,
never will be — but I am forgiven.
And I have a
place in Heaven waiting for me when
I get to the
other side.
Remember,
Jesus said: "I am the Way, the Truth
and the Life. No man can come
unto the Father
but by Me."
If you don't
have Jesus living in your heart, consider
this -- our time on this world is
very short. The prophecy
foretold in Revelations is quickly
coming to the pass,
and the Lord will be coming for
His people soon.
Remember -- life is eternal.
Where do YOU want to spend eternity?
Sorry, but
you only have 2 choices.
Heaven is one of them.
Hell is the other.
I hope you make the right choice.
