MY TESTIMONY

This past Sunday, the Lord blessed me to see another year of life. Therefore I can say, like David in Psalms 37: 25, “ I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” God is good to me, and I am thankful for daily loading me with benefits.

I have experienced several surgeries, and each one ended successfully without complication. In 2011 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had surgery and radiation treatment, and now I remain cancer-free eleven years later.

In 2014 I was scheduled to have a cyst removed from the bottom of my foot, and the day before the surgery, the doctor had me come to her office. After closely examining my foot, she discovered the cyst was no longer there, and the surgery was canceled. I was already informed that it would take me several months to recover from this surgery, so I was thrilled and grateful to God for His divine miraculous healing.

In my lifetime, I earned an LPN degree, an AA Degree in Sociology, a BA in Sociology and Psychology, and an MA in Social Work. Additionally, I completed three years of post-graduate study in Family and Marriage Counselling. In these educational endeavors, the Lord blessed me and allowed me to find favor with people that willingly paid for most of my education.  

This September will be my fifty-sixth wedding anniversary which I share with my husband Leo C Smith Jr., and through the challenges of life with God’s help, our marriage remains intact.

Besides all of these experiences, most of all, I am grateful for salvation. I do not know how many years I have to live, but I do know that I have the assurance as I strive to keep my relationship with God, I will live with Him in eternity.
