He Changed Me

I remember when I was younger I really accepted christ at Seneca Lake. It was exciting and I couldn't wait to share. IT wasn't long before I started realizing that alot of other people didn't find it cool (so to speak) and for some reason I cared about that.  This is where I started down the wrong road.

AS I got to my teenage years being accept ,I thought, ment doing things that I knew I shouldn't be doing. I tried getting into the party scene and every thing seemed to be fine and this carried into my 20's. Deep down I knew I was on the wrong path because my parents had taught me better, and thank God they did, but My life was going pretty good. So I thought I got this all under control. Little did I know It was all going to go crazy.

I got married, for the wrong reasons, and kept partying. I thought I was keeping this all secret from my family but it was showing thruogh. My marrage fell apart fast and I just drank away my problems. Before I knew it I was consumed by this and it effected my realation ship with my family and friends. Then I met Theresa and I knew She was special. She was a gift from God when didn't even deserve one. This is where I started to change.

Slowly I got away from all the partying and Theresa was right there. She met me in the lowest point of my life and with here support I started climbing out of my hole. But I was still trying to do this without God. This went on for awhile and things were going good. We got married and I thought everythings good now. We went to church sometimes but never got real serious about it. Then 2 days after our 1st anniversary God sent me a wake up call. I got into a car wreck and broke my back pretty serverly. I didn't know what was going to happen. My wife stood by my side the time and this made me fall deeper in love with her. It was very hard on a young marrage. But we made it thruogh and are stronger because of it. God used this to show me just what he could do and what he had already done for me. It made me look at all the things I had taken forgranted. I had a huge family that loved me and a beautiful wife that loved me, and great friends. This really showed me that God can take care of you. People came into Theresa's work and would give money, thoughts, and prayers to help us out. It was amazing.

I rededicated my life, and now after searching around we found a church to call home. 1st Baptist Church of Seaman. And now have really gotten serious about letting God use me for what ever he has planned. I am helping out at the youth center and I'm going to be driving the church van as soon as we get that ministry up and going. I know there is more instore for me to do but like this is titled, Still changing.

That's my story as of this far, we are trying to adopt a child and grow our famliy, so it's got to keep getting better with God in front. Please keep praying for me that I can continue to change.

Thanks for reading. I'm not a good writer.
