I accepted Jesus when I turned the age of 6 years old. I had reached the age of accountability and was saved!!
Years passed and I met my wife to be while working at McDonalds. She also had been saved at an early age. Neither of us had lost our virginity and that was a source of pride with us both. We dated for several years before marrying (we just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary)! Unfortunately, a pattern of keeping God and his son in the back seat emerged for us both. I would occasionally think to pray when there was a serious illness in my life or some calamity would come up. But I wouldn’t keep him in focus like he wanted and needed to be. I finally broke down and acknowledged that I needed Christ once again in my life. I HAD to have him in charge of everything that I do and say. My wife and I got down on our knees in our bedroom one night and rededicated our life to him. We once again let our Lord take over the driver’s seat again.
We started seriously planning on having a child over two years ago and our son Daniel was born. My wife and I continually thank God for this small child of happiness.
