I read the Bible for 18 years, professed to be a teacher of it, professed to know and love God and that I was Heaven-bound. But I was miserable...angry all the time, discontent, wanting, empty, continually physically sick , and my marriage was coming apart. I knew there had to be more. I searched and searched: churches, scripture, Bible studies, people, and pastors. I was discouraged, but I believed there was a God and I had to find Him.
God allowed that longing to be filled through taking a class called Exodus Out of Egypt taught by Gwen Shamblin. It rocked my world and my life and I have never been the same. I praise the God who was revealed to me through this class! I lost 47 pounds, stopped running to food and vitamins, herbs, supplements, and exercise for health, and was given the health I wanted as I sought God. I became content and anger no longer plagued me. I am happy, healthy and best of all, I was blind but now I see. I can see that God wants something from me and I get to give it to Him. I can actually give God, the Creator of all, something that He wants...obedience.
I love getting to be around sweet, positive, selfless people who love God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength. They don't just say they love you. They show it with their actions. When help is needed, it is provided. Nothing is missed. Just like in the book of Acts, the end of Chapter 2. Just like that! I could go on and on about how my life has changed. It is better! It is funny how so many do not want to believe that such a church exists but would rather put down this group of true believers. It does seem too good to be true. BUT it's true!!! It's real! And it's all around me, it's in me and it's in my children. I praise God for Gwen Shamblin, a servant of God, who speaks the truth no matter what. And for the classes and books and CDs and all the information available that has kept me on this narrow road that leads to life! May the world know that there is truth and it is being lived out in the lives of the people who make God their God!
