Being There For Me

Ron Stovall
September 27, 2010

I was brought in the Catholic church and went through training of becoming an alter boy. My sept-dad was in the military and I lived overseas. When we in country in the summer I would always come to Flowood, MS and stay with my maternal grand-mother. She took me to Sunshine Baptist Church. I remembered that she would tell me that I would be baptized there. One of those summers I knew that Jesus had died on a cross just for me and offered to fill the void I knew I had in my life. So I walked down the aisle to the preacherFrom the age of 16 I have had the peace of mind that I will have everlasting life in the Kingdom of God.



I knew that when I fell short of the mark that Jesus had set while on earth, It bothered me to the point I knew I had ask forgiveness. I always felt that I did not have to face life without someone beside me. There had been dark days as well as great years in my life. He could be trusted to guide the way if I ask.



My attitude toward family and friends seemed to change. I always had rocky relationship with my mom and step-father. I could see the good in most of the peopleI I met. Even when when I was drafted in to the army in 1968 and was eventually sent to Vietnam, I was scared most of the time but knew that some how I would survive. I had friends to come to know Jesus while serving and I could see a calmness come into their lives also.

When I came home I married someone that did not know Christ. I always thought that I could convert her but she never excepted Him as a true savior. We had two children and I insisted that they would be brought up in church. She eventually left us because the happiness she sought was with a life without God. But when I had accepted a life raising my children alone, God sent a lady that had a situation like mine. Thank you God.



He has given me the security and happiness I needed in my life



In June in 1966 when I accepted Him as my Savior.



Hearing His word and knowing that He came and gave up His life to give me the only way into Eternal Life
