I NEVER thought I would be a Christian. I thought God had abandoned me and therefore didn't have a strong relationship through my teens and early 20s.
I did have a solid foundation growing up in a small town baptist church every Sunday with my grandma, grandpa, cousins and friends. It was that foundation and the help of members in the Bank One Choir in Atlanta who saved me from myself and held my hand as is struggled to make amends and reconnect with the God who saved me from certain death from a pulmonary embolism. It took fighting for each breath to wake me out of the stupor that I was in control. I was not. God was, and had been all my life, I was just too human to notice.
God placed doctors, the hospital, and people at the right times and all in the right places. The ER docs said I was 20 minutes away from death.
Through the prayers of others, friends, family and learning how to stand in faith and live a fulfilled life miracles have occurred for me and my husband throughout our lives and today for the FIRST time EVER, it was me praising God with my hands, my feet, and my voice letting go and giving God everything I had to the point of exhaustion just to say. Thank you.
Whether you believe in God, Dog, nothing. Take time, reminisce and thank who ever and whatever deserves it. Don't wait. You may not get a second chance. And back to the point. I never thought I'd be a Christian especially not a proud member of a good ol fashioned Pentecostal church family where the Holy Ghost will snatch you up and carry you into praise as it did to me today. Have a blessed Sunday. Love the ones your with and more importantly, forgive and love your enemies.
