Hi! I was not a member of FA but I visited there 2 or 3 times. In 1976, I was immersed in HF's faith teaching. I was being mentored and instructed in this teaching by a couple who lived in Angola, IN and I listened every day to FA teaching tapes.
During this "phase" of my life, I went without glasses, illegally drove my car, and stumbled around the house till I picked up a piece of dog poop (thinking it was my son's toy car).
In 1976, I decided to have my 2nd child at home.(I was 21-yrs old.) My husband was willing to go along with the plan, however, most of my family was opposed. My older sister tried to talk to me but I mocked her and asked her if germs were more real to her than Jesus Christ.
The baby was born without a hitch, but then the after-birth became stuck and would not deliver. Fortunately my husband, who had not listened to the FA tapes, called a doctor who told him exactly how to deliver the after-birth.
At that point, I began to wise up. Today, I am so thankful to God for preserving me. After, picking up dog poop, damaging my relationship with my only sister and almost bleeding to death... I figured out that there was something wrong with what I was being taught.
Today, I attend a good church that teaches faith in God, but also teaches that His ways are higher than ours and we DO NOT know everything! I have seen miracles (my 3rd child was healed of a severe brain injury) but now they come when I submit to God, worship Him and cry out to Him... knowing that He does all things well and just knowing and believing that He loves us!
I dont talk much about that phase of my Christian walk. I think I'm embarrassed by my own foolishness and now realize all that could have been lost.
I was arrogant during that time. I was not walking in His love and I actually felt very far from God. Now if I am confused or have a question about something I seek HIM and in His time He provides the understanding and the answer. I am so thankful to God for His faithfulness and love.
In His Service,
