Magdalena Edmonson was born in Budapest, Hungary and escaped from Communism at age 9 with her parents and sister in 1956. Their journey to the United States was exciting to a 9-year-old, and she saw that God definitely directed their escape. Magdalena wanted to repay God by giving her life to Him from age 11 on but took a detour. At the age of 19, she fell in love, got married at 21, and had three marvelous sons. In 1975, she discovered a charismatic prayer group, committed her life to Christ, and the Lord began to change her life in many wonderful ways. In 1989, becoming frustrated that she could not maintain a regular prayer life, Magdalena started writing down what she wanted to say to God. She is still learning at age 75, but she is truly grateful for all His grace.
