My husband and I were reading in Luke 12:12….” do not be afraid when it is time to speak because the Holy Spirit will help you to know what to say” I sat down to write this and these are the thoughts put into my heart.

I have been blessed to have accepted the Lord Christ Jesus as my Savior and Master. He wrote my name in the palms of His hands. He took the beating for sin… that I deserved….He was blameless….I am grateful everyday for the gifts of salvation and forgiveness.

God lead me to the Nampa Seventh-day Adventist Church with a heart full of sorrow. Elmer kept praying for me even before he was my friend. The Friday night Bible study group of Shirley, Doug, Kelly, Judy, Elmer, Patty, Betty and Joanne were the life line that I held onto until slowly, slowly, God started working in and on my life. Many Sabbath mornings the pastor was speaking directly to me….telling me with God’s words to… hold on….have faith…..I am your God; I will always be with you.

I appreciate being surrounded with solid… loving…giving… wonderful people. I am blessed each time I am in this church or at one of the Bible studies. I am especially blessed by our community service work. 

We have a responsibility as Christians to be the physical expression of our invisible God. Someday I hope I won’t have to tell people I am a Christian….they will already know by the peace and confidence given to me by Christ…. working in my life.
