When I sit back and think about where I was 20 years ago; and where I am in life now I have to say thank you.
God has really been good to me. When I lived a life not thinking what the consequences were and how he kept me from the enemy and myself.
Life teaches us many lessons, and I have learned that life is a classroom full of teachers and students. Every experience should be a lesson if we pay attention. I have seen times when I wondered how I would make it; then just when I thought there was no hope; God stepped in and made the situation clearer and opened doors that were meant to be closed.
My biggest lessons came from "PEOPLE", people, I was trying to help and give a piece of my life and talents. People that I thought were for me, but in the end they were laughing, and killing my every move. I have to say; "Thank You", when it comes to the Lord: He kept me from myself, He kept me from death, He kept me from being a total mockery when it came to trying to please others.
"To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him - Psalms 92:15."
In spite of all my hardships and down falls he kept me, when I couldn't keep myself. He saved me: when I never knew I needed saving, and protection. God could see my destruction, before I even headed in that directions. He saw the devil, as he used people to plot, to detour me, or scandalize me before I could even get started.
"I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust - Psalms 91:2."
He Kept me and showed me a better way to live my life, The Lord, humbled me and gave me a more kindred spirit. He created in me the ability to be able to sit at the table in the presence of my enemy.
God shaped me, re-invented a new being in me. No, I don't have the millions in the bank. No,I don't have all the fancy cars in the driveway; but what I do have is a peace of mind when I sleep at night. I do have the satisfaction of knowing that I have a Father I can call; that won't take from me, but provide for me. Someone waiting to guide me in the right direction to salvation, mercy, and all the riches of the land. I have come a long way by faith, leaning on the Lord.
