By the time I reached
adulthood, I was an emotional basket-case! After I got
married, I remember keeping the drapes closed and I
wouldn't answer the doorbell or telephone. I was
painfully shy. I was too sensitive, so got hurt often.
I felt like I was no good to anyone and seriously
considered killing myself.
A girlfriend from high school
invited me to a Bible Study at her church and I went.
The first week they had us memorize I Peter 3:15. The
first line says, "But reverence Christ in your
hearts as Lord..." That's the line that made me
realize that I'd never asked Jesus into my heart. So I
did.
Looking back, I can see that I
began getting better and losing my problems at
that date. It took years, but as I was faithful to
read the Bible some every day and obey it, God has
made me a happy and confident woman.
