[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was in my second marriage, with a daughter. 2 sons from my first marriage at 16. Left alone, abandoned, and without hope that things would get better. He cheated, lied, left us alone for days at a time. Without concern of our well being and happiness. I began Bible study and read through the old testament in a children’s Bible and used a King James Bible also.. I felt the Holy Spirit and His presence in that house that had become my torture.
