I remember always having God in my mind whatever I was doing.  Not in the forefront of my mind but kind of like a “voice in my head”.  This conscious awareness of God kept me in check!

Later in my life, I had a very powerful and personal encounter with God.  I prayed so much and hard for God to send an angel to stay with me while I slept.  I had been going through  intensely troubled times.  I had enough fighting and struggling and I was aware that God was dealing with me to get back to church.  As soon as I prayed that prayer, lying in the fetal position in my bed, the bed sank down and a warm feeling came over me like a blanket.  I felt so great.  I had no pain or sadness.  It was an out of body experience:  an unexplainable feeling.  At that point, I heard a voice say to me, “You do not have to fear Satan anymore!”  Just then, the bed returned back up, the warmth left, and I looked for who had come in to the bedroom.  No one was there!  As I sat on the bed, I realized that what happened was real.  It was not a dream but a message from God!  I will admit that when I recount this experience, I really needed that moment in my life, and I praise God for saving my life!

I was saved when I was 18 years old at Tri County Assembly of God in Fairfield, Ohio. I am just a sinner saved by grace and I love Jesus. My desire is to use what God has given me to be a blessing to others.

I grew up in a Christian home although my Father didn’t attend church until late in his life. I was saved at age 11 in a small country church surrounded and nurtured by loving and supportive Christians. My mother encouraged my involvement in church and envisioned me becoming a minister. God had other plans, however, and called me to be a psychologist. I have been privileged to be an intimate part of many people’s life struggles and God has greatly blessed my life and ministry. I have lived very much in the world but have tried to live a life that would be pleasing in God’s sight. l often fail but God always lifts me up. I love singing with the Bridge and, God willing, hope to sing His praises with the time I have left on this earth.
