Hello I am Trudi and I am new,
I became a Christian and gave my life to Jesus in July 2007. I am still learning and I have to say the Joy that now fills my heart is beyond all measure, I pray my husband and children will find Christ too.
I was a chronic drug addict and alcoholic everything had been tried 2 rehab s, AA, medication etc.. Then I tried prayer and simply asked God to take my addictions away.
I stopped using and drinking but forgot about my prayer. Then few week later as walking along the road I suddenly felt this amazing peace and then I knew I had not done anything myself to stop my addictions, God had. Also I had the revelation that all along he had been looking after me, so many terrible things could of happened to me but God kept me safe.
I then needed to go to Church. The first Church I tried unfortunately I had to stop going as a man there was making me feel uncomfortable in the wrong sort of way.
I prayed for guidance and that evening a newsletter from a Church came through the door. I went that was Good Friday 2006. Although the sermon was on an Old Testament part that I found rather bloodthirsty!! I kept going back.
A lady asked if I would like to study the Bible with her, I had read it by then but not understood it.
From then on my life changed. Being Baptised was the most wonderful moment of my life.
God Bless you all
Trudi
