The word I'm writing on for five minute friday is "if."
Usually, you will hear "if only."
That isn't my story.
My story is...if my husband (of almost 55 yrs) had not joined the Air Force, I would have missed out on a great love story and a wonderful family.
If he had joined the navy (which was his plan) he would not have been stationed in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
If a friend had not wanted us to meet each other...where would we be?
If my husband had not been sent to Alaska, in isolation, on King Salmon Island...when we had been only married 5 months...I would
not have left New Mexico and come to live with his parents in Iowa.
(I had no idea where Iowa was.)
I had a baby girl while he was gone. It was a hard year. But if it hadn't happened would I have seen my need for Jesus?
If we hadn't moved into a house in Ankeny, when he returned home...If a neighbor had not asked me to church?
At 22 yrs old, I began to read in the Book of John. I asked Jesus to come into my life. That was in 1966.
Everything I have gone through has an "if" to it. And my "if"
is positive. because I have no doubt The Lord was directing my life to come to Him.
My biggest thought...If Jesus had not come, where would any of us be? We would be lost. But, He did come. To pay the price so we could come to Him. He is the One Who settles our "ifs"
