My Pregnancy Journal
I was saved on February 14, 1992. I was 17 years old. This is the story of how I was saved!
I had been dating a boy from school for about 6 months. We were like most high school students -- not sure of our future, but hoping we had one with one another. I was not saved, so I could not discern if this was the boy God planned for me to spend the rest of my life with or not. Needless to say we broke up. The break up was devastating to me for reasons I would rather not go into due to the child-safe orientation of this site. It sent me into such a state of despair that I could not think rationally by any means. It was February 12 that we broke up, and on Valentine's Day, due to my state of mind, I made an attempt to end my life. It was only the grace of God that my attempt failed. When I realized this the first thing I did was turn to the Bible. From there, and with help from my CHRISTian family members, I became a CHRISTian myself that night. My brother told me I glowed. God is truly awesome. He immediately lifted me out of my despair and showed me the error of my ways. And, I've never looked back with regret! God has always been there for me. He's answered my every prayer, and has always uplifted me when I turn to Him.
On CHRISTmas Eve morning of 1995 I had a miscarriage. It was my first pregnancy, and I was in my third month. It happened suddenly and left me in a state of shock. It was the worst pain I've ever known emotionally. I cried uncontrolably for several weeks until my loving God intervened. God let me have a dream. I dreamed a little girl about five years old was sitting in Heaven with a lion on her one side and a lamb on the other. The lion, I realized later, was a symbol of God and the lamb, Jesus. The little girl waved at me and she was smiling so serenely. She was so beautiful. The entire scene was beautiful. She was so happy. I knew that the little girl in my dream was *my* little girl. She was *my* AudreyAnna Rose. She was at home. How I could mourn knowing that she was in such gentle, tender hands. Guess what! After that beautiful experience, I didn't mourn anymore. I cried after that from time to time for selfish reasons, but the ultimate pain was gone. Now, God has blessed me with a beautiful son whose pictures you can find plastered all over this site.
Do you want more information about how God has touched my life? Please feel free to email me if you do. I'd be glad to share.
If you are interested in knowing how God can work miracles for you too, feel free to email me! If you don't know the Lord personally, if you aren't a CHRISTian, it's easy to be one. Just follow these steps:
1. Ask God to speak to you as you read the following scriptures:
| Romans 3:23 | ...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God... |
| Romans 6:23 | For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
| Romans 5:8 | But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. |
| Romans 10:9-10 | ...that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (10)For with the heart one beleives to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. |
| Romans 10:13 | For "whoever calls" upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. |
2. Recognize that you are a sinner who needs a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.
3. Confess (agree with God) about your sins.
4. Repent of your sins (turn from your sin to God).
5. Ask Jesus to save you by His grace.
6. Turn over the rule in your life to Jesus. Let Him be your Lord.
I got this from Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby and Claude V. King -- it's a great course to take if you are already a CHRISTian who is seeking how to know your God better.
