Tell about your conversion and about your walk with Christ. I have always enjoyed reading and as a teenager I read lots of books by Grace Livingston Hill.  Her talk of being saved made me start asking questions, but I did not get answers.  When I was 18-19 I met with our church pastor concerning problems at home. That night we prayed and the next day I felt such relief and peace.  However it was not until I came to Grace and got involved with the Awana program that I realized what had actually happened that night and at that time I rededicated my life to Christ. I also got the questions I had asked as a teenager answered.  I continue to study on my own, in my small group and Sunday School class. I imagine God will always have something new to show me.

What is your family like? We have a daughter who is 23 and studying to be an ASL interpreter, and a son and daughter-in-law who brought our first granddaughter into the world in 2011.
