Peggy Sue's Testimony
I have been a Christian for 11 years nowsince Oct. 8, 1988. The Lord has blessed me in many ways. I praise andgive Him all the Glory for the many blessings in my life. My journey withthe Lord has been great, even with the many trials that I have had toendure. The one trial in my life that really ministers to my heart and hasenlarged my heart and has made that mustard seed like faith of mine togrow, is the one the that took place in 1993. I had met my husband in 1984and got married in 1990, but we both were lost until 1988. Well, whileserving the Lord in this journey, we were looking for the right church or
the one we felt led to be in. We found a loving body and grew in leaps and
bounds. Until 1993, we hit a very hard and low time in our life. We
disagreed with some of the doctrine in the chruch and decided to leave,
that was the tragic mistake. We left the body in January of 1993 and when
summer of this year had come so did our departure from one another. I went
out East and pursued a divorce. It was one of the worst experiences of my
life. It was ugly, depressing and one that I wish upon no one. I lost my
custody battle to my husband and he came for the children, that seemed to
end my world. Suicide thoughts clouded my mind and I did not want to live.
These two beautiful babies were my life and I could not come to the
reality of loosing them so many hundred miles. 1,600 to be exact. I was
devasted to say the lease. But, life went on with me not wanting to. I
did try to commit suicide, but it was not in the Lord's will for my life.
As I raised the gun to end my troubles, the Lord intervened and whispered
the most precious words that I will never forget the Master say, "I Love
You Child." That drew and new beginning in my life. Which was not easy to
get over, but I did overcome. Need less to say, I found a church out East
to throw myself into. I found a family to accept me and help me with my
grief and set my mind at ease. The Lord was with me, I knew deep inside
that the divorce was not His will but He allowed into my life for a season
to sift out the impurities hindering me to serve Him with all my life. The
summer of 96' I had visitation with my children and had to come back out
West to get them for the summer. After making the long journey and back
things were intense for me. The Lord wanted me to sell my home out East
and move back to the West, which I really did not want to do. I was very
disobedient and did not go. After 3 long years my husband called and
requested to talk to me. This was a bitter divorce between us and we
never had kind words for one another even though we were both born again
believers.This was a miracle for me, I returned his call and the words that
came out of his mouth was astonishing for me. He actually said, "Do you
think there is a chance for us putting our family back together?" My heart
nearly failed me. But, the answer that came out of my mouth, was "With God
all things are possbile." I was already supposed to be moved out to the
West in July and here it is in August and still in the East. Well, it all
came to pass and I finally moved out West in November of 1996. There is
where the Lord God showed Himself strong in my life. I never thought
possible for this marriage to reunite, but with the Almighty God, that is
what happened. The Lord restored my marriage after 3 years of divorce and
now my family is complete in Him. I thank Jesus everyday that I look at my
children and my husband. I was not easy but neither was the divorce. I
now realize that God's plan for my life did not include divorce and He
restored everything the enemy has stolen for me and my family. I give God
all the Glory. I live for the Lord and I am prospering in Him daily. I
love the Lord Jesus with all my heart, soul and mind. Thank you Jesus.
Sincerely His Servant,
Peggy Sue Alcon
