I am thankful to have been brought up in a Christian home where Christian principles were taught to me as a young child. I was also taught that I had to make a decision for myself and therefore when I was 18 I was redeemed.
I have lived as a redeemed person for over 45 years. There have been many plateaus along the way and also some giant growth leaps in those years. I have a deep faith which continues to deepen and mature.
I can't imagine what my life would be like if I had not been redeemed. I feel blessed to have grown up with Christ and to have walked with Him over these many years.
