• Hello my name is Cyndi and reading all of these testimonies has been such a blessing!!  Here is a quick version of mine!!

  I was raised in a NON christian home, but required to go to church, because that is what girls do, I was the oldest of 3 kids and the only girl.  I am one of those that feels as though I have always been saved, though through those teen years I stumbled, over and over.  November of 89 I moved about 3 hours from home in with my aunt who is a wonderful christian women.  One requirement was I had to go to church at least once a week, which was fine with me. 

  I became VERY involved with the teen group, they started having prayer service on Saturday nights and of course I went.  One night in February the kids in the group asked for pray for this kid named Bill who was with a girl he shold be with.  Wednesday he broke up with her and Sunday he came to church and I can HONESTLY say it was love at first sight!!  I broke up with the guy I was dating and 2 months later we were engaged, 3 months after that we were married....18 years later we have lived an eventful life...1 miscarriage, my brother was killed in a car accident, my parents divorced, my mom died, my daughter had 2 major surgeries, my husband had major back surgery, it was quite a roller coaster!!! 

  Now things are well smooth and nearly boring in comparison (Thank God!!).....we now have 2 teenage daughters and our in the final stages of adopting 7 year old twin boys, a desire God placed on our hearts early in our relationship!!!  My DH has decided he does not want to adopt/foster anymore and out of respect for him I have agreed to be happy with what we have, but I must admit, my heart is a little bruised, I really want more children....but God has blessed me so I believe He will either change the desire of my heart or the desire of my DH's...

  He blesses me everyday and I am so grateful for my relationship with Him!!

• Hi Ladies my name is Beth A 34 yr old wife and mother to five children.

  I grew up in a disfunctional home.Things weren't so bad up until I was about the age of 6 yrs.This is when my parents marriage started to go down the drain and my dad started to become abusive mostly verbally.He just turned really cold and mean towards pretty much everyone.Meanwhile my mother had her own problems and could not handle it all so she pushed herself into her job working tons of hrs so I did not see my mother very much from that point.I was left to endure what my dad felt the need to dish out.I attended a church with my only sibling (my sister) up until this point thats when church stopped.I never really paid attention much in church.Through the years until the age of 17 I listened to my dad rant and rave.I even got to the point of lashing back at my dad.Just chaos and hurtful things spewed.Then one day thinking back on some of the things my dad would say "I AM YOUR GOD" ..and damning Christians.I never mentioned God much but when I would my dad would get more furious then over anything else.So I was in my bedroom alone started thinking about my own life and where it was headed (looking for love in the wrong places...drinking often.drugging,sleeping around,had an abortion at 15).I felt ashamed and I literally had a huge sense and feeling of shame inside.This horrible feeling knocked me to my knees as I sobbed and sobbed.I just started babbling it all out loud and begging God to please forgive me.I prayed for this huge weight to be taken off of me.I asked the Lord to come into my heart.I wish I could justly explain what happened next I can try, but my words serve no justice.I literaly felt that huge weight lift out of me.Then that horrible weight was replaced with something else.A feeling of love,acceptence,peacefullness like no other I had ever felt it was just emense.At that point I knew what had taken place which was exactly what I had asked for.I have heard some say "Well I never experianced anything like that when I asked" but I think for me maybe that is what the Lord knew it would take for me to know without a doubt He is here and He loves me.My path has not been all easy through these years.I have backslidden and such but the Lord has brought me back to Him and I am ever so thankful.

  Thanks for the chance to share and God bless

• God has always inspired and helped me through my personal life as well as my career life. This is my most recent "Divine Intervention" story... I am an artist, author, designer and songwriter living in St. Louis, MO. I have most recently been working night and day on a new wholesome and safe entertainment website and toy line for children called AngelHeavenWorld.com . I had the site ready to launch with just one section left to be finished and only 2 weeks left before we launched. The section that was not yet finished was the "Sing songs with Purrlee" (Purrlee is a cat) section. Which meant I still needed to write the songs and hire a singer and musician to produce the material for the site. I really needed a singer with an angelic voice to pull off the feel I was going for with the songs. It was late on a Thursday night in October, I was exhausted and knew that in order to finish the songwriting I was going to have to take a break and head out to a peaceful resort and get inspired by my surroundings and through prayer. I started searching the internet for resorts. I usually gravitate to the ocean, only this time God led me to the website of a resort in the mountains of North Carolina...I was thinking..."no, I want to be someplace warm", but he insisted on a place in Blowing Rock North Carolina...and as usual, I put my trust in him and booked it online that night. I boarded a plane three days later for Blowing Rock. The flight was about an hour and a half and then there was a drive of about 2 hours to get to the resort. The place was peaceful and breathtaking. It sat high up in the hills and had a spectacular view of the blue ridge mountains. I learned that it had been built in 1917 by an author/artist. That was a real coincidence I thought. The first night I spent praying and writing. I completed a song for Angel Heaven™ titled: "I Thank God for Angels" The next morning I went downstairs to the dining room for breakfast. While sitting there the waitress walked up to me and we started talking. She asked me if I was staying at the Inn alone. I told her yes and that I was there on a creative writing mission. She then asked me what it was that I was writing, and I told her that I was writing songs for my new children's web site. Then she told me that she was a Christian singer and that her husband was a composer. I asked her to bring me a sample of her music, which she did the following day. That evening after dinner, I went to my room sat on my bed and turned on my computer. The moment I put her cd into my laptop I realized why God had sent me on this journey. By Friday of the following week she and her husband were both working on my Angel Heaven™ songs. If you want to feel the same spiritual chills I felt visit AngelHeavenWorld.com and go to the "Music" or "Sing Songs with Purrlee" section. She and her husband are beautiful people with endless talent... and truly Heaven sent. I know you and your children will enjoy! Sharon M Hayes CEO & Founder AngelHeavenWorld.com

• Hi, I'm Rachael. I was pagan for a long time. I was searching for God in all the wrong places. I practiced witchcraft and many pagan religions. I was empty and my life had no meaning. I was the person, who would mock Christians, with my so called "superior intellect".  I was laying down one day, and something attacked me.  I felt like something evil was entering my body, I couldn't even move. I was so scared. That day, I prayed... to GOD, the God that I said I didn't believe in. That day, I found the truth.  I always knew God was real, but I didn't acknowledge Him.  I just thank that Lord, that He helped me realize it. I have never felt the contentment that I feel now. It is true what they say, only God can fill the emptiness. Thank you Lord, for your blessings. Thank you Lord, for giving me another chance.

  God is so good, I've been saved since 1996, total transformation of my life.  I grew up going to church as a child, and playing church as a teenager.  After living a life that lead me dating the wrong guys and a family either on drugs or dealing drugs, I had enough.  The Lord saved me in my bathroom, when I cried out to him, I felt an overwhelming presence and I knew that the Lord heard my cries.  A couple of months later my oldest brother was murdered on a Friday night, I was at the alter on Sunday morning.  I left a lucrative entertainment business, to serve God with all my heart.  He erased my plans and gave me His plans for my life.  I am know married to a wonderful Pastor and I am an ordained minister with 4 beautiful children.  My desire is for women to know there purpose as a women of God, that can be used for His  Glory to bring restoration to there family, marriage, society...where ever the Lord places you.  I am sooooo..very thankful and count it to be a privilege to be a child of God. I love Him// My walk with Christ have been trying, narrow, lonely at times, joyful too..and what I rest on is that God said in His word, He will never leave me nor forsake me.  That is His promise, and I believe it.  I pray this testimony will bless someone  else, and know that God wants a personal relationship with you as well.  Get to know God for yourself today! 

  May God richly bless you, In Jesus Name!

• When I was in junior high my friend used to have slumber parties and we'd wake up and go to church the next morning.  I had grown up in a Latter Day Saints church, my parents didn't attend, but I would go there occasionally with my grandma.  So her church was a lot different from mine.  She attended a Christian Baptist church, but truthfully her church is leaning toward Pentecostal.  I remember going and feeling such a grief over me sometimes.  They had a beautiful choir, but to be honest I don't remember the preaching at all.  I loved going there as a child but we lived 20 minutes from there, and my mom wouldn't take me on a regular basis and so through much of high school, I didn't attend anywhere.   I was your average teenager (anymore) and I hate to say that, because I was "considered" a good kid, but now that I look back on it, there was nothing that I did that was good.  I became way too friendly with boys, and was hateful to certain girls, started partying, drinking, smoked a few times, and even tried marijuana a few times.  When I was seventeen I met my now husband, and we fell in love.  We continued to party and thought we were just fine.  When I was twenty we got married and five weeks later, I was pregnant.  Unplanned for us YES.  Unplanned for God NEVER!  Eli was born and I was a mess.  I had postpartum and I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, and everytime he squrimed or moved I thought he was going to die.  My husband decided not long after Eli was born, that we needed to attend church somewhere.  I suggested my grandmother's church and he chimed in and said "I 'm not going over there with those crazy people!"  His mom and aunts had just joined a church and we decided to go there.  On the 3rd sunday, Kevin took my hand and walked me down the aisle.  God saved both of us that day, and I truthfully don't know where we'd be if my husband had listened to me!  We are now serving the Lord in our church, regularly and are witnessing to others about the Lord!  My friend is also still at her church, but shortly after being saved told me her mother had prayed for me regularly throughout our lives!  Don't think that your prayer doesn't matter!  God listens to all!

• I was very small when I became saved. So young that all I remember is it happening at Vacation Bible School one summer. I was 12 when I was baptized. When I was 15, my doctors told me I would not be able to have children. Then at the age of 17 I decided to make a not well thought out decision and followed my cousin into a room with two guys that had been drinking. Later that night I was raped for the first time. I did not share the news with anyone at first and by the time anyone found out, it was beyond the time all to have him convicted. I thought that would be my only experience with a situation like that but I was wrong. When I was 19, my mom and dad allowed me to go away for school. At the time I was living with my brother but he wasn't like a parent and allowed me to make my own decisions. I was raped for a second time that December and was told by the rapist that "girls like me deserved it." I turned my life into one of those that I would NEVER want to go back to. I began destroying my body with perscription drugs that were not mine, alcohol, and smoking. The following year I learned that I would have to battle cervical cancer and I continued to spiral downhill even after the surgeries. Eventually I began taking antidepressents just to get through the day. Then one night I decided I had had enough. I was determined not to date anyone anymore. I started to quit smoking and drinking. Decided I didn't want anyone in my life that wasn't my friend. Trying to put my life back together. It was then that God showed me my husband. Since meeting my husband I have began to attend a church on a regular basis and am currently working with the Children's ministry at church. I have a beautiful baby boy and am looking to start trying for baby number two soon. I have been free from smoking for five years now. I have also been free from cervical cancer that same amount of time. I had recommitted my life to Christ before I met my husband as well.
  

  I am a stay at home, breast feeding, kisses and hugs giving, chubby baby loving, happily married, co-sleeping, attachment parenting, anti-CIO, vaxing, disposable diaper using, PCOS having, baby wearing, sale item buying, in college mommy who believes in and trusts THE TRINITY (Father, Son, Holy Spirit).

• I was born and raised in a Christian home. . When I was 11 I went in for a normal check up. They did my BP and said that it is way to high. So they sent me over for blood work and testing. They soon found that I had hormonal tumors. When you develop your body shoots out harmons. Well mine produced to many. It was attacking all my organs. By this time I was 12 years old. I went in for many test and treatments over the next couple of years. They said it would never go away and I would die from it. I was only 15 by this time. They gave me to live a year or less. I would not take that as an answer. So that night my parents took my brothers and sister over to my Grandma and Grandpa's house so they could talk to me about how I was feeling. I could see the worry all over my family's face. I told them I would be fine. So I went to bed and I told God that he needed to hill me. My family needed me to much. Plus, I wanted to get married and have kids. SO about a week latter I went in to see my doctor and get a cat scan done. After the test we were called back by my doctor with a confused look on his face. We went into a dark room. There were about 10 doctors lined up with all my scans that had been done hanging on the wall. Dr. Cutler looked at me and said Shannon this was your scan form last week and this is yours from today. The one a week ago had dots all over. That was the tumors. The only form that week had none. They said that they wanted to do blood work and more tests next month. A month latter they were still gone and I had so much energy. The did worn me that I would never have any kids. The meds they gave me would stop me form that. Well I told them I would because God does not hill half way. About a year latter I was 17 and met my husband. He was my first love, kiss and even hug by a man. I know God sent him to me. I told him we may never have kids but I did not believe that. We got married when I was 18 he was 22. Then a few months after we were married we wanted to try and see if I could get pregnant. It only took a few months. Yes we had a little boy named Connor. He is now a very happy and healthy little  21/2 year old.  About a year ago I wanted another baby. So we tried again and had another little boy in March named Cole. The only thing wrong with me now is the spelling part of my brain does not work so well. I am working on that daily. God Bless.

  This is me and my baby boys. Connor is 2 1/2 and Cole is 12 weeks.
