In, 1963, my family and I, immigrated to the United States of America.
As a young girl, I have always had a, special love for the Lord, Jesus Christ. I, remembered, my mother, telling me to pray and go to sleep!
I replied, with the little knowledge, that I had at that age, and said to her, "Jesus died for me; I want to pray to Him.
The Lord, always came through, after, praying for certain things, in the name of Jesus! Amen! Glory to God!
As, I grew into my teen years, The Lord, put Christians, in my path. My dear friend, Melodie Watts (now Melodie Paulsen) and Theresa Smith (now Theresa Day), her father was a Pastor. I remember that Melodie, gave me a New Illustrated International Bible, The Way, for my birthday gift. I began reading and understanding the Word of God, in a different aspect. Theresa's father, the Pastor, took us to see the Cross and the Switchblade, which made a tremendous and inspiring impact, on my spiritual life. At the end of the movie, everyone start hugging each other, I panicked and ran, and hid in the bathroom. I was shaking and didn't know what to do! I, as a Christian Arab, lived a very conservative life. No dating before marriage, no kissing or hugging, anyone from outside! I loved and respected, my mother so much, that I wanted her to always be proud of me! I thought, to myself, I would become impure, if some boy hugged me! Today, I laugh at my lack of knowing about Christian fellowship. I lost both of my parents, within a very short period of time. But, the Lord, gave me man of every woman’s dream.
In September of 1985, I married my wonderful, husband Dr. Michel Diab, of twenty seven years, after lots of prayer and asking, God to choose, my husband for me! What a blessing! Prayer really does have power, may His will be done!
I have been blessed with three beautiful children, Georgette, Shadi, Nijmeh and a wonderful son-in-law Shadi Abboud. My husband and I, definitely, complete each other. I witness to anybody, anywhere, and whenever and He is truly blessed with teaching the word of God!view less
