I'VE BEEN SAVED SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2004 BUT MY WALK WITH GOD DIDN'T BECOME STRONG UNTIL THIS PAST SUMMER. FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS I DECIDED TO TURN MY BACK ON THE LORD AND ENJOY LIVING IN SIN. I MET A GIRL AND STOPPED GOING TO CHURCH AND I WAS DOING THINGS THAT WEREN'T ME. AND THEN LAST YEAR I WAS SHOT AND THAT REALLY SHOOK ME UP. BECAUSE I KNOW IF I WOULD HAVE DIED MY HEART WASN'T RIGHT WITH GOD AND I REMEMBER HITTING THE GROUND AND PRAYING THE WHOLE RIDE TO THE HOSPITAL. IT WAS VERY HUMBLING BUT THE POSITIVE THING OUT OF IT WAS THAT GOD WAS MY STRENGTH THE WHOLE TIME HE USED THE DOCTORS TO TAKE CARE OF ME AND HELP ME RECOVER. JUST YESTERDAY I WAS SITTING IN CHURCH AND THE PASTOR PREACHED THIS MESSAGE ENTITLED "30 DAYS TO LIVE" AND IT REALLY SPOKE TO ME. HE SAID YOU CAN'T WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE HERE AND NOW YOUR NOT PROMISED TOMORROW YOU COULD WALK OUT OF CHURCH AND GET HIT BY A CAR. I THOUGHT BACK TO WHEN I WAS SHOT AND IT WAS JUST A NORMAL DAY TO ME BUT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE DAY I DIED BUT GOD HAD DIFFERENT PLANS. I REALIZE NOW THAT THERE IS A GOD WHO LOVES ME AND CARES FOR ME MORE THAN I REALIZE AND I LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART. I'M A BETTER MAN NOW AND A BETTER FATHER TO MY SON AND IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TRANSFORMATION GOD HAS DONE IN MY LIFE. I GIVE HIM ALL THE GLORY.
