Читать книгу My Life / His Way - Gloria Florette Vogel - Страница 19

During the years of growing up we sure knew how to develop an imagination or it could have been a warning to be careful from God. Sundays really stand out in my mind as my sisters and I had to walk four long blocks to get to church. Along the way was this very huge hill we had to walk up; it was a short cut. This hill had to be the steepest street in the entire city with houses at the top and at the bottom with overgrown bushes and high grass in between. I always felt that someone was going to jump out and grab us. Being a fairly young girl, it was extremely scary to me and I tried to get to the top as fast as I could.

At the same church were the meetings I attended when I was a Brownie and later graduated up to the level to become a Girl Scout.

Around the age of six and sitting in the living room, my Uncle Al came to our apartment. He had a woman with him and introduced her to me and said, “Gloria I want you to meet your new Aunt Elsie. She is going to love you as much as I do.” When I looked over at her, I heard a voice inside me say, “No she is not going to love you like he does.” I believe it was the first time I heard clearly the Holy Spirit’s voice; Proverbs 1:23 Behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. I realize now exactly the truth in His word and what He meant.
