So it's been 16 years since I was shot. It was so long ago...I think about it now and I feel so blessed. Not just because I didn't die out there in that parking lot but also because God changed my life that day. It was the beginning of the rest of my life. That day I turned in to an adult. I feel like I was a kid before then. I did not know how it was to be responsible for things like an adult. The most serious thing I had been responsible for at that point was making a car payment. Because of that night I went through a lot. I was in the hospital for 33 days. I had to grow up and know that there are a lot of bad people in the world. I got to be real with my boss after coming back from that and I got to tell them my plans for being with that company. I got to be there and be really good at it for 16 years. I know now that God spins things around for your good even when you think things are bad and can't get worse. All those things I went through to get here. I know God loves me. I talked to my sister last month and she was going through things and I told her how I felt about the trials of life and she said she wished she had that view. The view is that God will test you. Or maybe He doesn't send the test but in life there are going to be test just to see if you trust in Him. To see what will you do...how will you react? I have what I would like to think I have a connection to him and the Holy Spirt that I only want to get stronger. I know that He is always there. He was there the days I got shot He is here now as I sit at my computer and write this. I believe He is asking me to talk about what happened to me and I will do that but I'm not sure as to go about it. But I'm going to do as I'm told. I'm thinking about doing a YT video about it. I'm not really sure but we will see. I just want strength because when I talk about this I know there will be people that think I'm crazy. But then again when have I cared about what people think? Anyways this year's anniversary I can't really give you any words of wisdom more than the ones I have already written in previous years, to be honest. If that changes I will let you know. But one thing is that I am now ready to keep my word to Him and a YT video is coming. The question is, when?
