Sister April Williams Garrett

My name is April Garrett (formerly Williams until nearly 2 years ago). I am a high school math teacher of Algebra 2 (for now), and I live in Gallatin, TN.

I did not grow up missionary baptist but in college, God saw fit to send peeps my way that truly knew the Lord because He knew I felt doubts about knowing if I were REALLY a ‘Christian’.  God sent me the truth, which is something I particularly and deeply treasure (okay okay, most of the time….I don’t like being reminded of the truth, for example, that a diet focused on chocolate cannot be “healthy”) and I always grew up thinking the truth sets one free.

And it really really did set me free on July 4th, 2006.  Yes I think God knew His timing was perfect for me to have extra EXTRA confirmation so I would be able to always remember that specific date, not that the specific date matter, just the definite experience.  He reached me when I had thoroughly confused myself on where I stood, not wanting to believe deep down that what I had grown up believing could mean that I did not truly have salvation.

He cleared up that confusion with sweet, horrible conviction of the Truth, and where I stood regarding it, as I was driving down the highway back to my hometown of Owensboro, KY that late afternoon, and all I knew to do was pray for God to show me what to pray because of that truth, as I had run out of things to pray, do, promise, etc.  And thankfully, He did just that and then saved my soul when I had repented to His satisfaction.  I have absolutely no idea how I drove while doing this, but I’m pretty sure God had a handle on that minor detail, as well, all the while He was saving me. Cuz he can do that.
