RUTH HUCKINS
Before I received Christ as my Savior I lived a life of fear -- a paralyzing fear.  I walked in a lot of confusion about life.  I would ask the question, "What is life all about?  Do we live 70 some years, die, go to the grave, leave our families and possessions and that's all there is?"  I was extremely nervous and took several nerve pills a day.

My life revolved around my husband and children.  The only way I found any peace was when my husband was around.  I had put all my trust in him.  I felt secure as long as he was there.

My life was unfulfilling in the fact that I was always troubled.  I had these deep fears almost more than I could bear at times.  I felt there was no end to living this way -- I felt hopeless and alone.  I struggled raising our children because of the fear, etc. 

I heard about the Lord many times but He was never real to me.  Through a friend who began to share with me about how Jesus change her life I experienced the Lord.  It began my spiritual journey at age 32.  I gave my life to Jesus.  He met me and filled me with His Spirit.  I was never to be the same again.

After Jesus came into my life He began to heal my emotions.  He took away my fears and confusion.  He gave me a purpose for living.  I knew He was who He said He was.  He gave me peace that the world cannot give.  Our home was dramatically changed forever. 

Today all our children are grown and serving the Lord.  To God be all the glory!  God bless.
