Laura Palmowski's Testimony

It is a wonderful privilege to write out my testimony, but at the same time, somewhat difficult in knowing where to begin.
I too was raised in a Christian family. I remember as a little girl listening to and learning Bible stories written on little cards. We attended church all through my grade school and high school years, but my father had passed away when I was in the seventh grade.

Sometimes I look back and wonder why I did not receive Christ as my personal Savior during this time, but I didn’t. it wasn’t until I was thirty-three years old that I took that step to the altar and accepted Jesus as my Savior. It was a tremendous relief because I had realized for a very, very long time that I was definitely an “unsaved” person.

During my thirties and some of my forties my personal like was stormy and turbulent. Sometimes life seemed plenty stressful.

When I first read the poem, “THE FOOTPRINT OF GOD”, it seemed to apply directly to me and I quote,
“God…you said you’d stay by me in the good times and in bad.
Why then did you leave me each time my life was sad?”
“My precious child,” God answered “When your life had pain,
I knew;
the single set of footprints was the times I carried you.”

When I look back to those years, I now understand that God was there all along and he brought me through.

I feel very grateful for these past ten years. As my spiritual maturity has grown, so have God’s blessing in all areas of my life.

My husband and I joined Second Baptist in January of 2003 and we both agree that our Sunday school class and Second Baptist in general, has really enhanced and impacted our spiritual growth.

God offers the gift of eternal life to all. Pray to Jesus, acknowledge that he died for your sins and rose from the dead. Ask him to forgive you of your sins and to be your Lord and Savior. Ask him to guide your life from now on. God made the plan of Salvation so simple that even a child understand it.

John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.
