PASTOR CHUCK THAT CLIP TO ME IS SO POWERFUL! I HAVE BEEN THE MAN ON THE BLOODY WAY. I SPENT A YEAR THERE AND EVERYONE KEPT PASSING ME BY. UNTIL I WAS SLAP IN THE FACE WITH A REALITY CHECK AND WAS WELL ENOUGH TO GET MYSELF (NOT TRUE, GOD CARRIED ME) TO A PLACE WHERE I WAS WELCOMED WITH OPEN ARMS AND LOVE. NO ONE KNEW I WAS HURTING AS BADLY AS I TRULY WAS. THEN AS I SKATED ALONG WHAAM OOO!! I GOT HIT WITH A SECOND BLOW AND WHILE I WAS SHUT AWAY. AWAY FROM EVERYONE I KNEW AND LOVED AND EVERYONE FROM WHOM I COULD DRAW ANSWERS FROM, MY SPIRITUAL AWAKENING TOOK PLACE. THROUGH THAT SPIRITUAL AWAKENING I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ALSO LEAD SOMEONE TO CHRIST AND I AM FAR FROM DONE. GOD PUT A FIRE WITHIN ME THAT I HAVE NEVER FELT BEFORE AND GROWING UP IN THE CHURCH DIDN'T GIVE IT TO ME AND GOING TO DIFFERENT CHURCHES AS AN ADULT DIDN'T GIVE IT TO ME. IT TOOK A YEAR OF TURNING MY BACK ON GOD, 61 HOURS OF TOTAL MELTDOWN, AFTER MELTDOWN, AFTER MELTDOWN, AND GOD PEICING ME BACK TOGETHER ONE TINY PEICE AT A TIME, HIS WAY, THAT BROUGHT ME FULL CIRCLE TO THE LIFE I AM LIVING TODAY. GOD IS GREAT. THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING SO LOVING AND FORGIVING!!! WHOA!!!!
