I just had a real rough week or so...long story id rather not get into but was in jail from july 5th until i got bonded out today... the first few days was agonizing.
But, then i decided to ask for a bible. Im about 500 pages in, with a promise to him that im going to finish it. Found many parts that told me what I needed to hear already, and ive made some vows to God that I fully intend to keep. Among them being I am going to get baptized and find a church family.
I was already ready to welcome God into my life, but wasnt fully committed. I am now. But, coming here every day and seeing all the love for him was a huge impact on me already starting to come to that decision before the events that happened led me to where I am now.
I'm sorry you had to go through that, and glad you made it through to the other side. God is great.
They don't call it the great awakening for nothing. Thank you for posting this. It's wonderful to hear the positivity and the testimonials of everyone, how God touches us all wherever we are. God bless.
Well I'm far from the other side still... but, at least my pleas and prayers were heard and I was allowed to go home today. That's the first step...
...the next one comes with not forgetting those vows and promises I made while laying there.
