I have alot to be thankful for. My fiancee, school, my health, my family, being employed, and recently a car.

This may be quite long but I will sum as best as I can.

3 years ago, I had some really bad perceptions about God and the church to the point it could get me kicked out of ones home. At that time, I had a job I couldnt stand but paid the bills, I was in school and my fiancee and I were together (then we were just bf/gf). In early 2003, I got really sick but managed to pursue Zeta. In May, when I was getting better, I lost my job. At that point I had no one to turn to but God. I sought HIM and was baptized that June.

For the rest of 2003 I struggled and so stressed and depressed that my grades slipped in the fall. But in 2004, my world came crashing down again but I knew I had to somehow get it together in order to get myself back together again. I had to learn to regain my self esteem and self worth back. Through this, I sought church more and started to go to bible study. I prayed and found ways to help myself (I planned my school's career fair and my grades went back up) and by that June of 04 the Lord answered my prayers and had me working again with a better job than I had previously. I pieced my life back together with the help of the Lord and I thank HIM for all that HE has done for me. But almost 3 weeks ago, HE saw fit for me to purchase my very first car and I did that. Sometimes I wonder if I am really deserving of all of this because there are some things I still need to work on. But I try not to question it. Its God's work, and that's that.

From my experiences, I have learned to always seek God. HE knows what you need before you even ask and furthermore, HE will not put you through more than what you can handle. Sometimes HE puts you through trials and tribulations to get you to seek HIM. Now, I go on with life thankful and try to do all things through HIM.
