As a teenager attending Church, I was baptized without any understanding of why!

I left school, moved to another country, met and married my husband and had two children, all with no conscience of not going to church. I lived a good life, I didn’t smoke or drink nor was involved in any obvious sins. I was faithful to my marriage and family – so was OK!

After the birth of my son, at the age of 6 weeks we as a family attended a church service, as my husband was working with a man who was sharing the gospel with him and he wanted to know more, I agreed to go, just once as I knew I was OK!

Week 2 and I was eager to attend church again, as my husband had gotten saved and I wanted to know more. That week I got saved then shortly afterwards baptized – with a much better understanding of what I was doing.

We made good friends with people in the church, started attending regularly and eventually started going to bible study too.

As the years passed I became more and more involved with activities of the church – teaching Sunday school, attending more and more bible studies etc. I was doing OK!

As the years passed I started to suffer with headaches and soon was taking up to 100 over the counter pain tablets a week. I was addicted. I didn’t even know it. When my neurologist discovered how many tablets I was taking she said I had to stop and wanted to admit me into hospital to sedate me to get off the tablets. But I knew God can do anything, so I prayed while sitting in her rooms and asked fore help. That same day I stopped and have had no side effects and to this day nearly two years later I am still not taking those tablets, or have ever felt the need too.

About this time we started to hear about the RU program and the impact it was having in America and across the world. It took 18 months or so until I attended my first RU meeting and have since been faithful in my attendance and challenges.

God is doing a work in me, I am excited to be going to RU, to doing the challenges (at my own pace – no pressure). It has made me excited to read my bible again, to hear other peoples success stories and just to get closer to God. I AM OK now!
