Through All Trials & Tribulations I Still Have The Victory


Even though I got saved in 2001, this walk hasn't been easy. It all started 22 years ago when my mom died in a car accident when a young man was rushing his girlfriend to the hospital & ran a red light and killed the most important person in my life. Right after that, I lost my "innocoence" because I was looking for love in all the wrong places. I was suicidal & even tried to committ suicide a couple of times. I remember sitting in the middle of the floor with a butcher knife to my wrist. One time I tried to swallow an ENTIRE bottle of sleeping pills. Then when I was 17, I ran away from home because I was tired of getting abused. I HATED God for letting me go through this. Really I didn't understand why I had to go through this. I thought God was merciful & loving. I didn't know my natural father till I was 18 & getting ready to graduate from high school. I enjoyed having my Dad back in my life & whenever he came to visit, I was with him. I went through so much hate & thought it was ok to feel like that. In 1996, I lost my "second mom" when I lost my grandmother to congestive heart failure. That broke my heart into 2 million pieces. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. I completely turned against God & even took His name in vain. When someone would ask, Did I believe in God? I just laughed in their faces. I HATED God & how could I love someone I hated. I mean I lost my mom & my grandmother. It was like God hardened my heart on purpose because He eventually knew I was gonna come back to him. In 1999, my father died due to a massive heart attack. When I lost my father, I couldn't take it any more. I just said FORGET IT. I couldn't believe what I was going through. I even thought about committing myself into a mental institution because I actually thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown. In 2001, God was calling me to get saved. I was like How could you want me back after I turned my back on you? So on Sunday October 14, 2001 I came back to my heavenly Father. Now I have been through some trials & tribulations even being saved. In 2004, my brother & his girlfriend were in a car accident when a semi-truck hit & totaled their car. THANK GOD THEY WEREN'T KILLED. They only walked away with back pain. Just last year was a REAL FIGHT for me. My cousin was in a car accident when he was driving his friend's mom's car, wrapped the car around the tree, & totaled the car. THANK GOD HE WASNT HURT!!!!!!!!!
THIS WAS BEFORE HIS GRADUATION. Then his brother was in an accident. Again, no one was hurt. Then my brother was in an accident (again), again, no one was hurt. Then my auntie was in an accident, AGAIN, no one was hurt. My dad's mom had to have triple bypass surgery & she came through just fine. Then in September I had to go the hospital because of an irregular heartbeat. After being in the hospital for about three days, I everytime I went to the bathroom, I urinated straight blood with blood clots as big as QUARTERS. My blood pressure was so low (40/30) I had to stay another day. I found out I had to have a D&C (scraping of the uterus). I had the procedure on Tuesday November 21 last year. While in the hospital, I felt His presence the entire time. I am glad that my spiritual dad (my pastor) didn't come see me, but he did the NEXT BEST THING, he prayed for me. When I came back to church that following Sunday, I felt so much better. You know, I was once told that I didn't deserve the hand that I was dealt in my life. I said I did deserve it because there are two sides to that. No I didn't deserve it because I went through so much at a young age. But on the positive side, I did deserve it because it made me a stronger person in Him. I know how to handle situations, trials, & tribulations now better that I did then. PTL
