Israel was a member of a Spanish church. For months he would speak to me about God and how he loved me.

I know that God loves me. He had protected me more times than I could count. He was with me through abuse while growing up. Bullying in school even in my party days he was always there. I later understood that the still small voice I heard was God calling me.

One night while at the club, I got so drunk that I was close to blacking out. A strange tall man with bright blue eyes. Asked if he could take me home. I was to drunk to walk so I agreed. He took me straight home. The funny part is I never told him where I lived. When I asked he smiled and didn't say another word. That was the last time I ever saw him. I now know it must have been an angel sent by God to protect me. Another time it was a beautiful summer day. I went for one of my ridiculously long walks I liked. Out of nowhere a caucasian Male in a red truck started calling out swear words at me. I didn't know him but he kept following me. He would go down street and up another just to meet me at the stop signs. All the while calling me derogatory names and cursing. At one turn when he would go up again I prayed. Please hide me Lord God. My heart was racing and I knew I was in a life or death situation. I heard the still small voice inside giving me instructions. Turn left, now right. I followed the instructions until he was no longer in sight.

Eventhough I knew he loves me I had my reserves as far as going back to church and becoming born again.

Israel never forced Jesus on me he was just a daily gentle reminder of how much God loved me.

Israel played piano in the church and the Holy Spirit would flow in the atmosphere. I saw healings and miracles and it felt good to be back home.

It wasn't until a revival service that was being held outdoor in the city that I gave my life once again to God. I decided to follow him and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour. I felt a peace that I couldn't understand flow over me. I later remembered the prayer I had for a year. Tears poured down my cheeks as I allowed the Holy Spirit to fill me.

Not only had he allowed me to return to him. He also granted me the love of a wonderful man.

Jesus died for my sins and he rescued me from a dark pit of loss and despair. He gave me fullness of life and he restored me.

I married Israel on May , 10, 2003.
In Lakeland Florida. My soul mate was now my own. In August 25, 2004 we welcomed our first child Imairaliz Morales and in February 28, 2006 our son Israel Neftali Morales.

We have been married now for 16 years and every day we love each other more. This truly has been the best gift God could give me and I will forever be grateful for his mercy and love towards me.

This is our story and if you will allow God he can give you your happily ever after.
