When and how did the Lord save you?
I had the blessing of being raised in a home where Christ was proclaimed with parents who were faithful and intentional to teach us the Word of God. Along with my four siblings, I was homeschooled and grew up in Dallas. In my early years, I struggled with the idea of the free gift of grace. Instead of embracing the gift of salvation, I strived to live perfectly to earn God’s favor and love. The Lord, in His loving mercy, continually pursued me to reveal my sin and my need for Him. As I grew, I began to understand unconditional love and my inability to be worthy of salvation. I fully surrendered my life, my desires, and my future to the Lord in my high school years.
