14 Years Ago Today
On November 20, 1994, my wife met the only man she’s ever loved more than me - and rightly so. She and her friend Jackie were in the middle of a 3 month road trip around the country and they pulled into Oklahoma City that day. They stayed with a lady Jess had become friends with in Virginia who had since moved to Oklahoma. They all watched a movie called China Cry that night about a woman who was imprisoned and persecuted because she had attended a Christian school as a young child before the Communist Revolution. It was during that movie that it happened. The light came on. More appropriately, the Holy Spirit opened Jessica’s eyes to see the Truth. She asked Jesus Christ to come into her life as her lord and savior, and they’ve been inseparable since then. Praise God!!!
Polly Baker, thank you for opening up your home to Jessica and Jackie on that Sunday evening and showing that movie and sharing the Good News with Jessica - again. I’m thankful for servants of God like you who live out your faith and love people enough to tell them about the amazing free gift of God’s love that is available to anyone who will receive it. Our lives would not be the same without you. You literally changed eternity. And yet, as you would agree, you were just one of the people along the way that God used as He drew Jessica near to Himself. Thank you for letting him use you!
Jessica, mi amor, may Jesus always be your first love!
