I was gloriously saved on Easter Sunday in 1980. We had 4 children and Doug had gotten saved in January and we had all been going to church together. That Sunday the pastor held the altar call for what seemed like an endless amount of time. He was saying that there was someone who needed to be saved. I knew it was me. I was in such a state of anxiety I thought the whole place could hear my heart beating. I fought the Holy Spirit and fought and finally we were dismissed. I told Doug that I really had to get home fast as I was sick. I fairly flew out of the car, once home, and into the bathroom where I locked the door and fell to my knees. I didn't know what to pray I just poured out my heart to God and asked Him to forgive me and to save me. Which He did. There really is a heavy burden of sin that we carry that we don't even realize is there. When I prayed that burden literally fell off and I was set free. He gave me peace that only He can give. I have never looked back. Every day I thank God for all He has done for me and for my family. I will always be amazed and so very thankful.
