About Me

Hello and welcome to The Christian Life!  I'm so glad you took the time to visit.  So that you know who I am and where I come from, here is my story.

My name is Brenda and I am the oldest of 5 children.  We were raised catholic.  I was baptized and confirmed into the church.    Church was boring and I only attended out of obligation so I did not experience a change in my life.
I was not living a godly life.  I have battled with drug, alcohol and nicotine abuse.

At the age of 23, I married my husband.  He was baptist.  We attended a Baptist church for about two years.  Then, we became non-denominational.  My mother and sister converted to non-denominational and we followed suit.

My husband and I were not living a godly life.  We were addicts.  We drank, a lot.  We were basically heathens.  We have two kids.  They are adults now.  We did not get along.  During our 27 years of marriage, we have been separated over 5 times.  In the year 2000,  I got an apartment and moved out with the kids.  We were separated for 6 months.  I filed for divorce.  The papers were signed and being processed. My husband had to go to the emergency room and the kids and I stayed with him that weekend to care for him and we got back together.  We moved back in and continued to have problems.  About a month later, I dropped down to the floor on my knees and committed my life to Jesus.  I knew I could go no longer without him.  I was at the point of no return.
