Continuing from the last blog...
It's a cold winter morning in Chicago, and we're driving almost two hours to a church — we get lost in the way, and by this time my parents are arguing and we kids are in the back trying to pretend nothing is wrong.
Who would have thought things would be different? When we finally arrived, the building looked nothing like a church, but here we found the greatest treasure. I honestly don't remember much about these days, but coming to SiLC was the best thing that could have happened to our family.
At first I was very indifferent, my mom who for many years sought help in the wrong places, finally found the Living God. Healing was just a small token for the many more changes God had and has for her. Honestly, I don't think she'd be alive today if it wasn't for the way she was taught to use her faith and the powerful prayers she received. Each of my family members has their own story and I could write books about each one of them, although some don't want to take this treasure yet, I know they will soon. Others have embraced this treasure and God has honored them. Change has happened in my home over time, things that only God is able to do.
Remember I mentioned in the previous blog that I didn't really know my family that well? Well the reason for that being is that we were not a family before 1997, only after that year and over the years have we slowly gotten to know each other and become more a family. There's still a lot more work to be done, but I know God is working. In due time I will share more about my big family with you.
This small glimpse is the beginning of what brought me to where I am today. For those who don't know me, I'm Yuliana, 22 years old, currently living in Houston.
