In our lives there are always dates that are forever in your mind. Well I will always remember the day God chose me...My grandmother before she died looked at me and said'God has a plan for you' and many people who would talk to me about the bible would soon be in awe..I never read the bible but I could always tell them something in there. Many people would say that I suppose to be a missionary.Yet, I have always believed that if that is your calling then God will let you know! Well on with what I was saying about the day God chose me....It was the summer of '94 in the month of April, my cousin and I went to stay with my sister.But before I tell you that let me tell you about me. I was a normal teenager whom let peer pressure steer her into all kinds of things. However, I can proudly say I never did drugs. I started drinking when I was 13. By the time I was 16 I was on my way to being a functional alcholic. It never affected my schooling or my grades (I was an A student) so no one ever suspected what I was doing. I would get drunk on a Friday and stay drunk until Monday. I was on my way to destuction. Now on with the story....While we were staying with my sister she started taking us to here church. On one of these days my cousin( I will call her Reese) and I went to church full of H***! We were laughing and talking about people. Then the strangest thing happened.. as we sat there, all of a sudden me and her stopped laughing and turned and looked up at the podium. It was filled with a bright light and then it was like the room started moving further and further away from me and the music started to beat in my body( no I had not drunk anything I was dead sobber) I felt the urge to jump up and shout, to praise God and that scared me ...As I sat there trembling nearly in tears ( from joy or fear I don't know) A voice came to me and said,"What are you doing here? Get up and get out." and me not understanding started to get up when another voice came to me and said," No stop, stay, watch, and listen. I will come back for you." So I stayed and I listened for a change. After service the preacher came up to me and hugged me and then we talked for a while.Then, we left and on our way home my brother-in-law ( which was also the deacon of the church) turned to me and said," You felt something didn't you. I saw it." I said," yes." When we made it home, he gathered us all in a circle and we all got on our knees and prayed. That night in my room I cried and talked to God and I made a promise that I have keep for seven years . I promised the Lord I wouldn't drink anymore. I asked him to take all that away from me and he did.I went back to that church and this time I let the spirit take me and I shouted and rejoiced and I gave my life to the Lord! How it changed my life:The day God chose me was a blessing unto me.He saved me and he gave me a chance to live because I was headed to H*** and I was going sooner than I realized. I was headed towards an early grave and that was not what God had planned for me ..It was like he said 'Daughter why have you forsaken me..' and I had no answer because I was a lost soul wondering...looking searching but for what? I was hungry and he saw what no one else bothered to see and he fed me!He answered my questions of why and what if and if I was wondering he gave me the answer...but that is another story..look for it next!
