My name is Gabriella and i was born in Budapest Hungary 52 years ago, Under communism, where people usually go to church three times in there life time.
First time when you born you will be baptized, then when you get married, and the final visit is when
you are in the coffin.
Not knowing there is anything
more to life, then to
run and make the money, get married, have children.
Lived like all other walking in the world, and when
i heard of GOD
i use to
say,
"you crazy that is for stupid people, who
can not do nothing
for
themselves."
Then again you run into people who are
so called Christian,
but you belive you are more Christian without going to
Church then they are.
Anyway,
I was
Mrs FIX
it, i did not need God, i am
capable of doing things
for my self. So i thought.
Got married when i was
just 16 years old to my
first love my teenager love whom i knew since i was
14 years old, he was 9
years older than me.
By the time i was 18 years old
i had a 6 months old
baby.
I escaped form my country at the age of 20 with my
son being two and a half
years old and my husband.
Why?.....because my
husband said so,.....
there was no such a thing that you disobeyed your
husband, or you had a mind
of your own, if he said jump you jumped.
Or you would be walking with a black eye for weeks.
Which happened to me
more then once.
I got beaten, raped used and abused
by him for years. Very
early in my marriage by the age of 18 i just simply
did not wanted to live
and took pills to end my life.
That
was the second time my life nearly ended.
The
first time when my
mother was pregnant with me and went to have an
abortion. But by the grace
of GOD
my father came home from work, only to find
out where my mother has
gone (from the next door neighbor.)
He jumped on his
motor bike and flew
there, where my mother was already on the table and
if he would of been just
minutes late i would not be writing this testimony
now.
Now tell me God is not on time!
He is always
on time we are just to
inpatient, and we want everything in our time.
The third time my life nearly ended when i was
visiting in Greece a
girlfriend of mine and was supposed to go back to
Hungary and missed the
train, which would of take me strait to hell. I
remember i was so upset i
was fuming because i missed the train. Only to learn
that my
train has fall
down the valley, and all the passengers where
killed, and i was supposed to
be on it with my son.
You have to remember i
did not know at this time God existed, because i never
read the Bible and i
did not belive anything. I was thought in the school
we came from the monkeys
(Darwin's theory)
One day i asked my father if we
did
came from the
monkey's or did not? Never forget his face he simply
said maybe you did came
from a monkeys but i did not, then he realized what
he said, and started to
laugh so hard his tears was falling down his face.
After my divorce
from my fist husband i found my
self all alone in a strange country,
no family no relatives, barely spoke the language.
It was just me and my 7 years old son who i was raising as a single Mother.
Well of course my ex husband was not going to make it easy for me, and
was not paying no support.
He said for me to go back to him or to die. I said
who needs you and did not
returned, which i did 3 times earlier. And i was not
about to do again.
Soon after this i meet a Hungarian man 22 years
older then me figuring that
he has more brain then I . Since I was only 25 years
old. Got married to him
and believed it will be forever, because what would
a man want who has a
wife 22 years younger then him?
Well he wanted
alcohol more then his young
wife. I soon found out once the honey moon was over
i knew i made a big
mistake, but there was no return i was carrying his
child soon to be a
mother again.
My Mother came to visit me and she
told me she become a
Jehovah witness, and i should read the BIBLE. I did not
see my Mother being a very Godly woman, so i already had
my opinion about people who where reading the BIBLE.
I was 27 years old when i read the bible the first
time and as i can
remember reading it made no sense to me what so
ever . To me it was like
a fairy tail: God, angels, and the devil, they all sounded like
snow-white and the seven dwarfs to me.
After i could not put up no more with my
husbands
drinking, i packed my things and held my sons hand at
age 2 and a half and
moved out to start my new life again.
So i was like Frank Sinatra
singing I DID IT MY
WAY, only he was collecting
money and i was collecting children
:)
Yes you guest it, i got married again to a man who
was a chief engineer on a container line and was at sea most of the time.
Later find out he only loved me, to get to Canada and be able to stay in
Canada and maybe later to have a chance to bring his ex family.
So i moved on again always leaving everything behind
starting all over again.
But this time i figured i would go back home, and i did.
Only to find my father and
Mother divorced after 35 years of marriage.
Life
has changed and really i
have no place no home nowhere. I stayed there for 18
months, but could not
get use to it.
My mother was heart broken because
of my Father marrying a
woman only 4 years older then me. My sister was just
divorcing her husband,
because her child was born from her boyfriend.
I
could not stand my Father
new wife, and watch all this so i returned back to Canada.
I had one thousand dollars for emergency i left behind and a 7 years old boy, to
start a new life with.
I started to work as a
hair stylist, find an apartment, and really just
lived
for my son to raise
him properly. Did not date and really did not
wan to get involved again,
until that someone special will come along. But he
was taking his sweet time.
A man, just a friend, with whom my son fell in
love with, was telling me how
much he cares for me and what a wonderful life we could
have together. He had
no body, i had nobody, he loved me and my son, and he
would make our life wonderful.
I knew he is not for me and i knew it
will never work but i was
hoping it could, and i just fell into this
relationship.
He said he loved me and wanted to marry me, but i
was more careful now i
did not want to marry anymore. I figured what for, i
had married 3 times and 3
times got divorced.
Now i will try without that
piece of paper.
My oldest
son was gone moved out of the nest he was 24,
my younger son being
14 years old, was home going through teenager years. Then
it happened, to my biggest surprise i got pregnant
again at the age of 41.
I
was just devastated, I did not want this baby, I did
not want to marry, i just wanted to die.
Of course i had him. I could not do anything about it.
I
knew a couple, old friend of mine and they
told me if i really did
not want the baby, they would adopt him after he
was born. This gave me a
bit of relief because for sure i was not going to
raise an other child on my
own. I had my third son, and as soon as he entered
this world i knew i could
never give him up no matter what, i will raise him
if i have to, on my own.
God was in the midst of all this but i did not
know..He had to be born like
i did, there is a purpose before the foundation of
this earth. One day we
will know all......
My little Jonathan was born and I just lived the so
called normal life. His
Father was a simple person with simple rules his way
or no way and see no
harm on cheating, and saw no harm in not coming home
on time, and saw no
harm not paying the bills. He simply did not care.
At the time Jonathan was
7 month old I lost my house because i was on
maternity leave and he did not
pay the mortgage. My money was not enough to feed 3
people and a baby.
Then God said," are you going to listen and stop
running? or do you still want to
do it your way? "Oh my!" What a change in my life he
brought. I will never
forget the day I was just minding my own business
when two man came to my
door.
They told me they are reborn Christians and they
want to pray for me,
something i saw and felt, especially with one of
them. I invited them in and
15 minutes later in my kitchen i was saved and
hugged and kissed by my
Father and welcomed into HIS Family. I was hungry a
new life began to sink
in, a life i newer knew before. I started to read
the Bible and it came
alive in front of my eyes, and what made no sense was
making so much sense now.
I could not put it down i just wanted to
read and read and soak it up
like a sponge.
He told me to clean house and i did,
I finished with my
cheating man, and sent him on his way, and learned
Life without my father, my
precious Jesus Christ, was nothing at all.
I had waisted most of my life being hard headed and
not listening. Thinking if i can
learn to be just a little more patient and wait on him, and if i
just learn to walk blind, and be obedient then it will be so much easier to die to the flesh.
I pray and ask him daily to
make me what he wants me
to be. He knows I'm all alone in this Country, He
knows all about me so i
trust him and i rest in him.
I know he takes care of me and when i cry he
bottles my tears, he holds me
in his arms and HE tells me daily. I'm special a
wonderful creation of my
Lord Jesus Christ, and he is with me inside of me,
and i thank him that he
was always in the midst of everything and saved my
life more then one
occasion.
I know he has a special blessing for me on the way,
and i know he will be
glorified. I'm not proud of my life i made many
mistakes, but now i don't say
anymore God is only for the stupid people. I
learned that God is a must, if
you walk without him you will surly fall. I learned
it the hard way,
I'm on
my own
5 years now raising my son alone, and he
takes care of us.
My
Mother who is a
Jehovah
witness for 40 years,
told me she will disown
me if i don't become the same. She is 80
years old
now and she prayed the
sinners prayer and i believe she is saved. God is so
merciful that HE used
the child she did not want, for HIS glory. He used
this child
and
HE saved
them both.I pray that these words will bless you and
please do not be a MR
FIX it or a MRS OR MISS FIX it. We can't do nothing
without him.
Without HIM
all is a lie. I don't know where my life will take
me, my Jonathan is now 10
years old, but i believe HE has something special for
me just around the
corner. I don't
feel alone anymore. I am home where
ever i go he is holding
my hand, and telling me look at me, talk to ME. I
know you are carried away
by hundreds of things in life, but make it your
first concern to be with
ME. I gave you all you have. You think I'M not able
to double my gifts? Or I
love you less?
Discouragement never elevates anyone.
Keep going Don't stop.
I love you, I died for you, Honor ME by calling ME to
help you........
Yes FATHER.....I understand, ........now I KNOW.
Thank you Father
PRAISE YOU MY ABBA, my loving
Father PRAISE YOU
JESUS CHRIST. Please help me to LOVE YOU FOREVER........
