My Salvation Testimony


I wanted to sharing my testimony with you about my salvation with Jesus Christ..

I worked at Bedford Animal Hospital for 4 years... i do know about God, Jesus, Mary and several characters in the bible, BUT the Salvation, no. In 2004, i am not sure what is the exactly date my friend, Heather Keppler, who is a christian, started to work with me, i think Dec 2003 or so.. i know her thru her parents in 2000, also,  i do have other friend Brooke Marby, who is a christian, too. she got 
Heather and I
married last year! congrats to her! she is always inspire me all the way when we was working together, but it wasn't bother me this time about her sharing story. before i met Heather, Brooke did talking about Jesus and Mankind. i was like, huh? and emailed her about mankind. she explained to me about the salvation... this time, i THOUGHT i have to be perfect and VERY strict and cant do anything what i can do in my life. So, i decided to not saved this time, which i still don't understand what Saved mean to me,  BUT i thanked that Brooke is part of my life that i got know about her. if without her, i could have avoid Heather too. it is benefited for me to learn! so anyway,  Till, Heather volunteered there. she did bring her bible and prayed during lunchtime. she didn't never hiding from anyone if she is reading the bible or praying front of anyone. she know god is inside of her.. she has been show to me a lot... she isn't afraid to show! :0)  At one time, she read the bible, i DID told her to put it down and talk to me. she didn't put it away. she opened the bible and read few verses and let me talk to her about stuff, i cant remembered what i said. but she is very strong woman ever i know. she constantly read her bible and prayed and EVEN asked me to pray with her for lunchtime too!  it does been bother my heart all the times and see her does this each other day when she and i worked same day. on April 22nd, 2004, THAT day, was so amazing! in the morning, around 8 or 9am, i did walking around and thought about wanted to be saved in my heart with Jesus, because i didn't want to go to the hell and lose my family to heaven, i want to be with them in the heaven to be joyful. it was impacted at me big time, then  i saw Heather, i was so nervous and walked up to her, she looked at me with joyful. i was stuttering. lol, i told her that i need to talk to her father about how to be saved. then, she said, why did you need to talk to my father for? can i know about it? i was like, yeah.. i want to be saved. her eyes was WIDER and BIGGER and her teeth was SMILING WIDERERER! she was so JOYFUL! she said, we can do this at lunchtime? so,  i agreed. at lunchtime, heather was so motivated  she shown me two verses.. i cant remembered but i understood clear about Jesus died on the cross for me for my sins  to be paid off.. i told her how can i pray and asked  to God about saved? she explained to me. i was like oh OK. i prayed and felt so different inside, when i opened my eyes and saw her.. she said HELLO sister in Christ! we laughed so hard and hugged. Guess what happen to Heather? she ZOOMED to the phone and called her mom about me! her mom's name is Denise Wyble. Denise was so thrilled and let her husband, John know about me. that moment, John was so shocked and praised the lord. do you know why he is thrilled? because he DID pray for me to be saved in the basement this morning of April 22nd! God's plans was on us to be his perfect plan. God's plan always been perfect, God is VERY knowledge! that day, i NEVER forget about my salvation.

To tell you the truth, i used to be lying, backstabbing, gossip, ego, be involved with other people's business, be nosey, cussing, everything in sins that's what i know of. after i was saved.. we did lied to our pastor and his wife, John and Denise about what i done to them. i told them that i didn't feel the same like before. i can see the full truth. in high school, that time, i didn't care about myself and go for it.

so now, I'm becoming as strong christian and be in right way in my life for God. i know it will be hard for me. because God want to see me how brave I am to God! GOD is so good!

John 3:16 For God so greatly loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes on Him (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish but have eternal (everlasting) life.

John 14:6 "Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me."

I Peter 3:18 "Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit."

Romans 10: 9-10 "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your hear that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your hear that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved."

John 1:12 "But to all who believed Him and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God."

if you don't know how to say in the prayer. you can pray:,

"Dear God, I know that my sin has separated me from you. Thank you for Jesus Christ died in my place. I ask Jesus to forgive my sin and to come into my life. Please begin to direct my life. Thank you for giving me eternal life. In Jesus' name, Amen."


once you pray and done accept him in your heart, BAM! you will feel different and know what is the right and wrong way. don't just pray and become saved then go in sin world and knew u are saved anyway.. NO NO NO.... you have to do it by your heart to be purpose for the Lord. God can see your heart if you are saved or not. 

i do still have battles in my life and my marriage since i got saved, because i am not perfect on the earth. no one is perfect, only Jesus is. 

thanks for reading this!
