AS A COLLEGE STUDENT I FOUNG GREENVALLEY CHURCH AFTER COMING OUT OF A TEENAGE LIFESTYLE THAT INCLUDED DRUGS,LOUD MUSIC AND LOTS OF BAD THINGS!THANK GOD I MADE IT TO GREENVALLEY. AFTER A WHILE i FOUND MYSELF TRULEY IN LOVE WITH GOD! I WAS MARRIED IN 1997 TO A NON-BELIEVER AND MY THOUGH IT WAS VERY HARD MY STORY IS IN MY BELIEF IN GOD AND MY STORY AS A CHRISTIAN AND MY ORANGE CHAIR. i FOUND MYSELF PREGNANT WITH MY FIRST CHILD IN 1998. STILL COMING TO GREENVALLEY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH TO HAVE A CHILD AND I THOUGHT FOR SURE THAT I WOULD DIE OR THAT SHE WOULD DIE DURING THAT BIRTH. I BEGGED GOD TO LET ME KNOW THAT SHE WAS COMING SO THAT I HAD AMPLE TIME TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL,STILL NOT REALLY KNOWING WHAT TO EXPECT.EVEN AFTER ALL THE BIRTHING CLASSES AND SO ON.GOD AND I TALKED QUITE OFTEN.IT WAS A WED. NIGHT SERVICE AND I WAS IN MY 36TH WEEK. THE SERVICE WAS GREAT I WAS EMOTIONAL TO SAY THE LEAST AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT ONE OF THOSE ORANGE CHAIRS IS WHERE MY WATER BROKE. I REMEBER LOOKING UP AND THINKING THAT THIS HAD TO BE A JOKE.BUT SURELY HE WAS NOT JOKING.MY DAUGHTER  KAYLA WHO IS NOW 9 YRS OLD WAS BORN THE VERY NEXT DAY. NOW THAT 'S PLENTY OF NOTICE DON'T YOU THINK. DON'T WORRY I DID CLEAN THE CHAIR:)THANK GOD FOR GOD!
