Dear Mr. Swaggart,

I watched your show this morning for the first time and it was very inspirational to me. I have scanneed past this channel on many occasions but for some reason while I was crying the television turned on and there you were talking to me. I might have accidentily turned the TV on but it happened. I am only 20 years old and I have an unbeleivable amount of stress in my life. If its not one thing its the next. To add to the stress of home, school, and work, i recently found I why I have been feeling so sick. I found out that I have Anemia and that it is not safe for me to have children because I might die in child birth. My boyfreind says that he will be there for me but he started to pull away from me. He is a born again christian but he does not act like one so he had turned me completely off to the spirit of God. For some time now I have felt somekind of emptiness in my heart but I didn't understand why until today. Mr. Swaggart, your sermon today deeply moved me. I didn't understand until today how someone could have such a great love for God. I prayed with you and I want to learn more. I have just accepted that God is my savior and that his son died for all of my sins. I also now believe that God loves me no matter what goes wrong. I have this inner faith that is so new to me. I just want to thank you for changing my life. I am deeply greatful.

Peace and Love,
Sincerely,
Theresa M. Jacobs
