How Sharon Met Jesus
After leading a lifestyle independent of God, God chose to meet me in a supernatural way in the mountains of Woodland Park, Colorado over 20 years ago.
I was lost in the world of drugs, drinking, broken relationships and a myriad of other things not worth mentioning. May 3, 1986 I was at a drug party in the mountains of Woodland Park Colorado. During this party I had to visit Mother Nature so I walked away from the party to pond near by. I remember looking up at the incredible stars in the evening sky. All of the sudden I had what I would call a vision and I knew it wasn’t a hallucination from the drugs. I saw a scroll in front of me with my sins written on it. For the first time in my life I saw myself as a sinner. I immediately dropped to the ground on my knees and said, “Jesus, forgive me for my sins, please be the Lord of my life, I am making a mess of it. Can you please help me?” Instantly I felt a love so powerful – so real --- I couldn’t resist it. I began to weep like I had never wept. As I wept I felt like I was being washed clean. I felt a huge weight lift off of me. I knew that I had just received forgiveness for my sins. Every burden was gone. When I stood to my feet I saw God as I knew Him in my minds eye; He was coming from heaven to earth to meet me. When He reached me He hugged me and I could feel the tangible presence of His hug as He hugged me He told me He loved me.
I didn’t understand all that was happening but I knew the love that I had just experienced wasn’t human love – it was a love I had never known. I walked away from that pond totally sober knowing that I had just met the Savoir of the World and that I had just become born again. I left the party that night never returning to that lifestyle.
