I can relate. I was an Athiest when my wife started praying for me. Then my father got saved, I worked with him an made fun of his God often. Then God got serious and one of my best friends, a true heathen, got saved too. My oldest son started playing Baseball and I met a fabulous couple she was saved he was a cop and wasn't. I talked about her God in the most questioning, with ridicule mixed in, way as I could, she just laughed and then explained away every question I had. Then her husband got saved, wow, what a change in his personality. In the mean time we had invited a couple in for Bible study, Jehovah's Witnesses of all things. One hour or so a week for almost a year we studied the Bible and I learned a tremendous amount about God and his miracles. This was a huge eye opener for me since I thought it was just a bunch if B.S. In the end we parted ways. We were then invited to Church by my friends from Baseball. This was incredible, can't really explain it. It was like the Holy Spirit leapt for joy in me, literally, and all through the sermon I felt like someone was pushing my shoulder to go to the altar, especially during the altar call, I didn't. But afterward I was in the parking lot talking to my friends and the Preacher came up and I said Great speach, my friend mumbled sermon. Preacher asked me if I was saved, I said no, he said you want to be I said yes. This took 6 years or so. I would ask him to go to church, for you, so he can meet this incredible Jesus.

Thank you John, for your wonderful testimony. I was encouraged. I will continually pray for my husband and I believe that God Loves my husband much more than me. There is one thing that I know clearly: God is good!
