MARCIE’S STORY
Marcie’s family was happiest when they were being entertained: magic shows, rock concerts and she absolutely kept up with her horoscope religiously. No one attended church in her household, so Marcie grew up not knowing much about church or Jesus. In time, Marcie found a way to explain her life to those whom asked. She was about 14, when she became a self-proclaimed “Atheist”. Marcie did not believe in God or have a need for any god in her life, or so she thought. This described the life she had led up until this point...
One day Marcie felt so depressed she considered ending her young life…
Marcie spends a lot of time these days talking, praying and laughing with Mrs. Olson. Marcie’s heart is filled with joy and peace; she has come to know Jesus as her Lord and Savior, and she could not be happier.
