The Cross Testimony: Gina

I grew up in a family who labled themselves Christians, and I know my father at least truly loved the Lord, but I now know it wasn't a priorty for our family. In my late teens & twenties I had many periods of doubt and being agnostic. After 3 years in my late twenties with a married man who I let treat me horribly. It was a "rock bottom" time that God honored when I cried out to him. He even lead me to my current husband of 13 years, who I am painfully aware that I do not deserve. I even gave him the nickname "God's gift to Gina". Since then we have grown in our faith & dedication slowly becuause we really didn't "get it" until my husband was laid off 4 years ago. I was so afraid for my family (we have 2 daughters). God used that time to drawn me in deeper. He was so faithful to provide for our needs during those uncertain months. My husband "suddenly" got a wonderful job that he has had for 3 years now. We have become more involved in serving in our church and take the "Sheparding" of our daughters seriously. The last year has been both a painful and joyous time as God has taken me "very deep" in a study of Brokness, Surrender & Holiness while I studied The Lords table & The Cross. I am finally "getting" how dependant I am on Him, but still struggle with pride, selfishness, rebellion & idolotry. It is a wonderful journey and I am so greatful to my Savior for loving me!
