After living to-gether for nearly two years, my husband and I were married in 1980. A few years before, my mother was born again and began praying for my salvation.
Not long after her own encounter with God, my mother led me to the Lord. At 22, I was a new wife, a new Christian and a new mother. I was also a student–learning to walk with God and reading the Bible for the first time in my life.
My husband was not influenced by my conversion, however. He didn’t want anything to do with the things of God. But his disinterest did not prevent me from standing on the Word of God for his salvation.
Sixteen years later, after much prayer and fasting, God fulfilled His Word. On Thanksgiving morning in 1997, my husband went with us to a service at our church and practically ran to the altar, where he received Jesus as his Savior. He was delivered, set free and filled with the Holy Spirit!
I am still amazed at what God has done! My husband began serving the Lord in any way he could. God has unified our family, and our children also are serving Him.
I have found through my experiences that God’s grace is sufficient for me no matter what the circumstance. When we are uncompromising in our faith, He will do what He said He would do. With God, all things are possible!
