How I know a Higher Power does indeed exist..... My God ~ My Lord ~ My Savior

When I was only fifteen years old I meet the man I would marry one day - three years later, all though I did not personally know it at time, but my SOUL knew and all within 30 days.
... He was my Knight in Shinning Armor, as far as humans go.

This one MAN - This MALE had given his LoVe unto me within one month of meeting him, I now had every thing my heart and soul had been searching for since the day my father first left me at the young tender age of 1 year old, not to mention the years in between (2-12 years) - where I was sexual, physically and emotionally abused by others.... mostly males.

After a year of us being together as b/f and g/f and of me leaving my hellish home at 16 years old I found that I was pregnant.... we were both sacred, yet we carried on in hopes of taking good care of the baby I was carrying - Our First Born was to be a Bouncing Baby BOY!!

At the age of me being 17 and my b/f being 19 WE had our son (together) and we moved to a nicer two bedroom apartment to raise our son in, and we asked each other for forgiveness of our selfishness behavior and actions over the last year.... we recommitted our self to being a family.
Then the day came when a friend of my b/f (from work) asked us to go to church with him and his entire family..... we went and within a month or two we started to feel the pull of something spiritual forming from within us - we could not explain the love and overwhelming warmth we were experiencing, but we could tell (say) that it was real.

One day my b/f was out with his friend from work and they had gotten home rather late, but as soon as they walked through the front door I could see a smile beyond all smiles on my b/f face.... He had just accepted Christ as his Lord & Savior.
The two of them shared this moment with me and within minutes I got this overwhelming feeling of warm oil being pour into me.... my entire body was over come with a sense of belonging and of being loved and forgiven.... I was finally loved with out rejection or judgement of the sin I had allowed into my life.

I accepted Christ into my heart that night - the same night as my b/f did.... I was 18 and he was 20, and we were now a new creature and the sin we thought would never be forgiven (an abortion 2 weeks earlier) was taken from us that night - we were washed clean by the blood of our Lord & Savior.
My wounded heart and all of its heavy burdens instantly became lighter.... I was set FREE!!

AND..... the two of us lived as "friends only" for 6 months, until we were joined as a married couple before the eyes of God.

There you have it:

The STORY of my experience with Gods presence.... and the 1st time I have ever shared the abortion part of my life with another living human being...... sad but happy to finally be set free from my deep dark secret

LoVe,
