As a young child, I was always exposed to people who attended church. We had a church situated across the street from our home and I remember visiting once as a child. I can't remember if it was for vacation bible school or a Sunday morning. My mother was not religious so I did not have much or any understanding of God as a young child. Around the age of may six or seven, I was befriended by two girls in the neighborhood. Fortunately for me their parents were Christians. It was at this point that I really started to learn about Jesus and my mother as well.  Although it was not consistent, mom would take us to church. Around the age of 10, I came to trust in the Lord. I remember going to the front of the church to repent, followed by baptism.  To this day, I remember that time period as the happiest I have known to date.  Now, I do want you to know that I have a  Joyful file that bears record to a lot more happy days in my life. 😆  This is the beginning of my testimony.  I am so thankful that God brought them into my life as a child. It lit a fire in me that has not been quenched.
