My name is Travis. In March of 2001, I was thinking about getting married and my fiance told me she wanted to start going to church when we were married. We were married on April 7, 2001. The next day, she told me she wanted to go to church with her mom and dad. I told her we would go, but when she left for work, I started drinking. When she came back wanting to go to church, I told her we were not going and that we would go next week.
In May, we started living with her mom and dad. I started working with a fellow who was "using" [drugs]. One night in that month I decided I was not going to come home, but would stay out all night. I partied all night, drank, and did things I should not have done. The next morning we did not go to work. When I woke up, I knew I had to go to church to get saved or I would lose my wife and everything that I had.
When I got home, about 3:00, I decided to give up the booze and asked the Lord to come into my life. About an hour after that, I was called to go to work for a job making considerably more than I was making. They paid for all my training. In June of the same year, my wife, who the doctors told could not have kids, became pregnant. In February of 2003, I was baptized in the Spirit. When I came up from the water, I was speaking in tongues. I stayed in church and the Lord has blessed me and I am now the Music Minister at my church. |
