Part 2 1939 Anita and Lorraine both contributed in this chapter.
Life as Glen and Corina knew it, made a complete turn around. The two biggest issues had been drinking and smoking, but now, whatever they felt was pleasing to the Lord they were willing to do.
For three days Glen struggled with quitting smoking after their conversion. He prayed earnestly for God to help him...and He did. Wednesday evening he suddenly knew he was delivered of smoking. Glen felt he now was truly a child of God.
Corina soon felt, because of the other women in the church, that plainness was pleasing to the Lord. She didn't have much, but the little jewelry she had, she threw away. She began to let her hair grow, braided it and wrapped it around her head.
The little family enjoyed going to church and Sunday School and rapidly grew spiritually.
Family members and friends soon saw a big difference in Glen and Corina and weren't sure what was happening, but they knew they didn't like it. Tension built up but Glen and Corina were determined to live for Jesus.
Praying together became a special time of closeness for them. They learned to give their concerns to the Lord and their faith in God grew by leaps and bounds.
A whole new concept was introduced to them: tithing. Oh...the Lord wanted 10% of their income? How could they give that much? They had so little now and the money they no longer spent on beer and cigarettes was helping them tremendously. Could they give 10%? Well, the Bible said so. So, they began, by faith, to tithe 10% of their meager income. True to The Word, the Lord honored them as they honored Him!
To be continued...
