As a little girl, I naturally felt close to God, heard His guidance, and had wholehearted faith in His ability to deliver me from evil. Although my parents did not attend church, they had faith in God and took me and my sisters to Sunday School at a Protestant church. I tried to practice in my daily life what I was learning in Sunday School and prayed to God as I was taught. One time when I was ill with German measles I felt God's presence, and very distinctly heard, "I am your Life." This message from God was a milestone in my spiritual development and made me more receptive to God's guidance.

During my first year of college, my father was murdered. This plunged me into a mental state of despair and darkness. My world, as I had known it up to that point, would not be the same, and I couldn't find comfort anywhere. I had questions that required spiritual answers. I had a deep hunger and desire to know God better and truly understand Him. I knew that only God could fill the void I was feeling.
