My Story Isn't Over Yet.....

You figure your life story begins when you're born. In my case, my story began back on June 24, 1978 (yes, I put it out there...). I've seen so many things in my 37 years. I've experienced many highs and lows. I've lived, loved, and laughed many times over and over, and my story isn't over yet.

As a child, I've witnessed physical abuse, sexual immorality, drug use....things that many kids never experienced. But then again, I also witnessed a lot of love, attention, and lots and lots of affection, which unfortunately enough, is also something that many kids don't experience.

As a teenager, I did my fair share of experimenting. I started engaging in drugs, alcohol, and sex all at a very young age. I didn't think I was too young at the time, but I have a daughter now that's the same age, and I couldn't even imagine her doing the same things I did at that age.

And as an adult, I've experienced love, deep hurt, loss, loyalty, fear, and desperation. I've been through things that I never knew how I was going to get out of them alive (literally), but I did. Not by myself, of course, but with God. When I thought that He was nowhere in site, He was completely over me the whole time. And by Him allowing me to go through everything I have, it's created a path that I can continue to walk down WITH Him.

But my story ain't over yet. It's far from over. I'm still growing. I'm still making mistakes. I'm still a sinner. I still have my faults. I'm going to continue to go through things, some good, and some bad. I'll experience things that I've never been through before, but now I have more focus, and most important, I HAVE HIM and I'M FORGIVEN!
