Order

Before I became a true follower of Christ things were Wacko!  I mean they were WACKO!  My priority's were very twisted around.  I didn't have really any direction other than to work, eat, sleep, and on my days off vegetate.  Not very fun!  I knew what was missing but didn't really want to bother with the whole religious Christan thing so I just kinda pushed that off till it was more "convenient" for me so I just went on with my life.  But apparently god had a different plan for me and Before I knew it I had quit my job of five years because of a back injury.  I had hit a point in my life to what I would like to call the wall.  Don't get me wrong things were pretty good, my family and friends were very supportive with everything I had gone through, and I was falling in love with my now fiance but the fact of the matter was I just felt empty, and nothing of this world could fill me up.  I was so so so sick of the same old things in my life that I began to kind of get angry and cry out to god.  Why would he let me go through these situations?  Why cant he just pluck me out of this crap and fix my broken life?  What am I supposed to be doing here on this earth?  How come I cant hear your voice like everyone else?  I was ticked and believe me the list went on!  The more I cried out and the more I let God be the center of my life, things started to happen.  It started with Erica (my fiance)  inviting me to a youth conference, I received a word from god there, and my prayers where answered.  That was just the Beginning, god began doing little things in my life that I look back now and I'm like wow thank you!  I believe that the reason my back injury caused me to quit was very much part of Gods plan.  We had went on a missions trip to Nicaragua in July of this year and before the trip I had to be very careful with my back, but about a week before the trip we met at my grandparents house to pray for the trip, and Ive never told anyone this but while we were praying I felt this shooting warm feeling go up and down my back and ever since then my back has been like 100% aside from regular wear and tear its been great!  God Is Awesome!  Also another miracle may I add was how I was able to come on this program as far as finances, I know I know, what finances.  Exactly lol, it was a miracle but we prayed for Gods will and this is very much part of the plan he has for me.  So from where I was before and where I am now is just huge, it wasn't easy and wasn't fast and it wasn't until God became my number 1.  Anyone who feels empty and is just sick of the same dead ends and walls, just put God first, be bold and walk in confidence,hes right there just waiting for you to choose him and take his hand! you will be blown away day in and day out, there are no dead ends and there are no walls with God.  Get things in order.


anybody see the resemblance? :-)
