One hot night in August, many (many) years ago, I was born into a Jewish family. I grew up in a Jewish community in Brighton Beach (Brooklyn, N.Y.) and I honestly thought the whole world was Jewish.
In my early twenties I headed to Florida and, by the time I was 30, I was divorced, working as a hairdresser in Pompano Beach, living with my boss and my nine year old son, and doing drugs.
Christmas of 1979 someone gave me a Bible as a gift and told me to read the Book of John. “Right,” I thought to my stoned self, “I am the chosen one.”
Eventually I opened Bible and began to understand that God had other plans for me. When I read that Jesus said “I am the Way, The Truth, and The Life and no one comes to the Father except by Me,” I believed!
And the proof is in the pudding because here I sit telling all who read this bio that Jesus loves you and has a plan for your life - a plan to prosper you and to give you hope.
My husband Louis and I have been members of MVCF since it was founded and are blessed to serve our Lord under our Pastor Leo Givovinetti. |
