I sincerely mean that. Be prepared for God to use that testimony in a BIG, BIG way. <br/><br/>My wife also has a great testimony and she speaks to small groups on occasion. It's amazing to see how God uses that story to impact the lives of others. What a great and powerful testimony you have Jen. I sincerely mean that.

I was brought up Catholic but have been 'long gone', just hanging somewhere vaguely on the edges. But I would probably like to find my way back. <br/>Earlier this year I visited Lourdes where I met a Kiwi priest who seemed to be in touch with the 'living waters'. And two days ago I was at a funeral where the wife spoke of the 'healing' her husband had had, when he had a 'God experience' in ICU. She spoke from the heart. I have not been 'converted' myself, but I seem to be meeting some believers lately who have made an impact on me. I am reading your blog with interest.

I would put my own conversion from atheism quite simply also:
“Sheer Grace, sometimes I cooperated.”
