Stories: Tina’s Turnaround
Sunday, January 07, 2007
I came to Mission Arlington in March of 2006. I met some wonderful people there. My children attended the “after school” program led by Mission Arlington at the apartment complex where we lived. They would come home each time having learned a different Bible verse.
Then one day a lady knocked at my door inviting me to attend a Sunday morning, Mission Arlington-led Bible study. I didn’t know it at the time, but everything was about to change. I started attending the Bible study held each week in the club house of our apartment community. I noticed that everyone there was like family. I went home that evening and began to ask God what I was supposed to do.
I loved it. I began to grow as a Christian, and other people began to notice that something was different. Now, I am actually getting to teach the Bible to youth at this very same Bible study. I am so excited that God is using me in this way.
I know that I haven’t “arrived” yet. The Lord and I still have a lot to work on together. Yet, I am well on my way. I love my children. I love teaching the Bible to eager ears, and I love Mission Arlington. God has used them to bless my life. Now, I am so glad that, together with them, He is using me to bless others.
