Ade's testimony.
My coming to faith was not through one of the traumatic times in my life.
When I was 30 years old I had a breakdown, I would say it was caused b the life style I had chosen. I entered a self destruct phase and tried to take my own life. They say I died three times but they brought me back.
When I came too I felt angry and blamed others around me, I also blamed God for the way my life was, but over many years of help, love and support from Sandra, my partner, and the many weekly visits to my psychiatrist Dr Johnson I gradually got my life back on track, but I wouldn't help thinking that something was missing.
A few years ago I was signed off from Dr Johnson, I started working for myself. Then last year I had a call from my son who I hadn't seen for 20 years, as I got to know him again and his lovely family, he told me that he went to church and so I started attending the services with him and as I listened I started to understood something, I realized that what had been missing was my faith.
As I looked back I started to see the times that the Lord was actually by my side if only I had put my trust in Him then. It's been a long journey for me, I've made a lot of mistakes along the was, but I now know that the Lord has forgiven me for these mistakes. I thank Him for Sandra's help, love and understanding. This is the reason why I decided to be baptised, my new faound faith.
