My life in Christ
I was raised in a Christian Home, at 8, I wept for Jesus dying as an innocent man on the Cross. My Church experiences were positive. I could identify with the Elderly, which my own generation only scoffed at. I respected the law. Followed the rules and known as a Sweet Girl. But as I matured, left HS and entered the Adult world, I thought I would meet more 'mature' people--to my shock--Adults were just high school on steroids! Disappointed, to realize the World was really a Society of Greed, Avarice, Sexual sins, etc., I never knew existed. I was totally distraught. Then my marriage at age 24 ended when my husband changed his mind, and wanted to be set free. I tried to find a Church for support--but found condemnation now that I was a Divorcee. This was in 1970. I found myself drifting slowly into sorrow and grief. And finally had lost sight of my faith altogether and joined the crowd at the bar. That was my total downfall. I joined the Darkness and was blinded until age 30, when the Lord Jesus had to speak to me in a Dream...tell me He loved me and that He had died for me. I was so lost, I had not a clue that I was 'going downhill' so fast. That spiritual experience changed my life. Jesus had to make Himself REAL to me--take me by His nail-scared hands and take upon Himself all my burdens and disbelief away. I have loved Him and followed Him all these years since. I am so grateful for that Great Awakening I had in 1975!

Thank Susan for your story. It is plain that there were some serious heartaches, but God entered into the picture! My experience is somewhat similar to yours. Christ revealed Himself to me in a wonderful way back in the mid-seventies also.

Praise the Lord, Susan—your story reminds me of the faithfulness of the Lord Jesus even when we have fallen. I was also raised in a Christian family, but I was hardly ever taught Christian values. I grew up and became a “rebellious child.”
When I was a teenager, the Lord Jesus revealed Himself to me in a dream, and from that time on I learned to follow Him.
However, my rebellious ways took hold of me again, and I fell back into my old life. Yet in 1980, the Lord Jesus embraced me once more and has continued to lead my life until this very day. The faithfulness of the Lord Jesus greatly motivates me to keep following Him.

Thank you dear Susan for this powerful testimony! We pray that more women will rise up and share their good news. Actually, some men may have to step back. : )
God promised long ago that men and women would be confronted by the Almighty through dreams.
Please consider this report. And there are many others like it.
