Thirteen years ago on the Saturday after Thanksgiving I gave my life to the Lord. I was in my college dorm room lying across my bed feeling rejected and hurt. Sometimes people don’t accept God until all hell has broken loose in their life. I wish I could say that wasn’t the case for me but it was. I needed God really bad then, but you know what, I STILL need God really bad now. That was the best decision of my life: one that I don’t regret making during my college years.
The past few years have been hard for me. They left a lot to be desired but thank God that He brought me through those trials. I remember thinking that it seemed like my best days were behind me. I was making more money back then. I had money left over from paycheck to paycheck. But the Lord assured me that my best days are still before me. God has been excellent. I have to praise Him for his continuous support. I was facing foreclosure this year but God kept me in my house. My little cousin was killed in a hit and run accident but God’s grace has sustained our family. Another cousin needed a heart transplant and received one through the grace of God. There were a few other emergency situations that took place in my family this year but God kept us through those times. He’s been covering us under the shadow of HIS wings and I’m not moving from that place. I have so much to be thankful for! God is TOO good! I give HIM all the glory & praise for blessing my life.
