Salvation by Grace though Faith!

Well, I such along story but it's defiantly the time to stop being lazy and write everything I remember. Well, as I mention before I was adopted and I grew up in a Christian family since I can remember.
The day God in His mercy wanted to touch my poor evil heart was when a dear lady in my old church died. When she was ,alive she was so kind and loving just like her Saviour. She treated Elizabeth and me with such love and kindness, I loved her so much like a grandparent. My love for this woman could not be explained in words , its overwhelming! She shared with me and Elizabeth verses and talked alot about the love of Jesus. I was more the person who liked the idea of being saved and thought I need to try to be good! It was totally clear that this lady's  heart was not in this world! So, sadly when she died, I felt so sad! I clearly remember trying to get up the courage to tell this kind dear woman how much I loved her (  God hand of mercy on me using her words to help draw me to Him)! When I final knew I would do it, it was to late.. When I hear that she died I cried in secret. I did not cry much, because I knew she was in a far better place.

.
so my tears did not last long. So sitting in the pew, with her casket in the front of the church, made me think of how sad it was that I missed telling her how much I loved her and appreciated her, it was then I knew I would never be able to tell her.. because she was in heaven and where did that leave me? So that was the start of God's great work in me, that made me see my sin as it truly was! Thinking back on this as some details come back to memory, makes me so happy to think that one day I'll say how thankful I am for her.. She has been dead for so long but I know she will never leave my mind when I think of my salvation. How much affect she had on me, will stay till I go to see my Saviour and her! So, few years the work of God was defiantly working in me and here I am today! I have learned so much though out these MANY years, since God has saved me from the wrath to come! There was a period in my past, where I was focused on work salvation that I needed to do these things because that is the law of God! I tried to be good on my own so then that lead to living my life the way I wanted! That was probably the roughest time in my life! God was teaching me with my failure and getting in more trouble I cant do it alone.. Now thinking about that time, makes me glad that it was ruff because it is true, trying to live a christian life by works does not work and should back fire on you! So, that is the way beginning of my story! I'll post some more later on my life today and go from there!
