"I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ with all my heart, body mind and soul. I am also a mother who loves her family almost as much as I love Him. I did not grow up in a Christian home but I did have Christian grandparents who had a big influence on my life. I was saved and gave my life to the Lord in my early 30s. I was baptized in the Wesleyan Church. I had a wonderful growing relationship with Jesus and was serving in the church and at Grace House. Then I lost my son, Rodney in open heart surgery, then my son Trevor in a motorcycle accident. I also had a baby grandson born with no kidneys who lived only 5 hours. I lost my daughter Sherry and her son Allen in an automobile accident. Then I lost my daughter Stacy due to emphysema and my then lost my husband Bob from a heart attack. I think part of me died with the loss of each of these that I loved so very much. To make it even worse, I lost that close relationship I had with my Lord. To make it even worse, I lost the close relationship I had with my Lord. I tried to stay ‘religious ‘- I read my Bible, attended church, but felt empty inside and my prayers felt like I was talking to myself. Then on Sunday, March 22, I was listening to the services from my church on my phone and the Holy Spirit came over me so strongly. It was assurance that He was with me and had been the whole time. It was me who had drifted away. Now I feel renewed by His presence and the assurance of His love of ‘even me’
