THE DAY I DECIDED TO CHANGE MY LIFE

The day I decided to change my life was the day I called upon the Lord. I was ready to take my precious life, in my room stretched against the wall with a knife in my hands ready to slit my wrist. I was crying intensely, and as I was trying to a Voice reminded me that I had 3 Boys who needed me , I started to cry and Called on Jesus to please help me. There is a point in life where we all decided to change many can find the way out. Others aren’t so fortunate; they never call upon the only one who can save their soul and life. My life hasn’t been easy there were many times in my life where I know the Lord was there to save me. Countless times I was in Near death Experiences where from My Car catching on Fire as I was driving, to Car Accidents where my Car flipped and thought I was never going to make it. Reality was I was headed down the wrong Road and all the while God was trying to catch my attention. Many times

    I realized that I wasn't content with how I was living or how I was not pleasing to God's will and his purpose for my life.

    I was the prodigal daughter. Moreover, He continued to lead me towards Him. It was like I’d flown back into a cage of sin that had once held me with the false presumption that it would keep me safe, and God was leading me back out of the cage and into the freedom of His love. He lead me to drop out of college during my first year, and I did. Then He lead me to start attending another church, and I did - it was probably the most nerve-wracking of my journey, but I did. At this point, I was able to look back at the past He’d saved me from and see the destruction, hurt, and rubble that He’d pulled me out of. I didn’t want to go back, and now I know that I won’t. He has something bigger than planned for…

    Before I was saved, I lived a very unhealthy lifestyle. Being the youngest in my family, I was constantly spoiled and protected. This led me to become a very prideful and ignorant child. I thought the world was great, my life was great, and I was great. Now I am not saying any of those things are not true, but my views changed quite a bit once I hit middle school. My sister had moved onto college at this point and I was alone to tackle middle school. I discovered a lot during those years but my biggest discovery was probably about my family. I learned that they weren’t the perfect figures I thought they were. My parents fought constantly and that left me devastated. On top of being spoiled and arrogant, I was also depressed.…

As I joined the Army I still didn’t have too much of an idea of what I wanted to do in life. I was just there because it paid the bills at first and gave me a place to live. I recognized that I still had a problem of not knowing what I wanted to do with my life. It was until I was in Iraq and I had to confront the fact that I didn’t want to always put my life in danger to make a living and support my family so I started planning intensely on finding a solution to my problem. As you now in life there are no easy fixes so I ended up going back to Iraq 4 more times before I came up with a solution. The solution I found was early retirement with all benefits go back to school to get my business degree. So now I had to integrate my new perceptive into my life plans. I put all my plans…
