I am thankful for learning how to study at 19 years old. I married very young age 16 my husband was 20, and by 18 years of age, I was praying for help on my bathroom floor, for God to help me and my husband to raise these children. I was pregnant with #3 our third son. We both want to find a way to worship God in a better way than we were both raised by Single Mothers who never married. Not knowing anything about marriage or married life from our upbringing. I was the oldest of seven young siblings so I knew a little about babies because of caring for my siblings.
We just wanted a successful and happy family, a Home, nice neighborhood to live in to be able to give our children the life we did not have. We loved each other very much,But, we learned that was not enough to raise a family with no perverse training in to get it ready. I thought my prayers were answered when I started studing the Bible with the religion I was part of it and they were glad to teach me how to study. Sadly this led to a lot of division and dysfunction and my children althought now have what my husband and I could not give them. With many scares from our youthful dysfunction and instability . But every morning I would awake by 5 am or 5:30 am when I did not work nights, to read the Bible. I still have this routine at 64years old now yet with must more benefits.
I had no freedom, no peace with all the unstableness, Our marriage end after 21years in divorce, still more dysfunction. My five sons grew up married young not as young as my husband and I in their 20s. One day I prayed for peace with tear supplication, I read Ephesians chapter 2, and by this time I was reading many different translations. Dismissing some translations in this chapter I read in four different translations. I decided I wanted the peace and freedom only Christ Jesus could give, I found it in Galatians 5:1 “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.”(KJV) On June 18, 2022, I started writing this book, hoping to explain to my children and family, friend what was happening to me and why I was happy, stable, and at peace, because I have the freedom to praise Our Heavenly Father and His Son for what they have done for Humankind.view less
