i lost my mother it is hard to believe it and i dont like thinking about it but if i
dont speak of what ive learned than i wont be doing my job that i was ment
to do. My job is to bring people to Christ and out of the world. Reading this
maybe even help someone learn what i already know well here it goes:
I WAS IN THE WORLD I WAS LOST BUT JESUS UESD MY PASTOR, MY
BROTHER FELIX AND MY SISTER DAISY. (2 OF THE 4 SIBLINGS THAT I
HAVE.) WELL THE LORD USED THEM TO GET ME INTO CHURCH AND OUT OF THE WORLD. I WAS IN SIN AND JESUS GOT ME OUT OF IT. HE DID SO MUCH FOR ME THAT I EXCEPTED HIM AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR. I GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL JUNE 2007 AND WAS SO EXCITED TO START THE NEXT CHAPTER IN MY LIFE. THE NEXT FEW WEEKS I SPEND TIME WITH MY FAMILY AND MY FRIENDS SHALISE, ERICA, AND THE YOUTH AND ADULTS OF H.C.R.N. (THE CHURCH I GO TOO) THESE FRIENDS KNOW THE TRUE MEANING OF A FRIEND ASWELL ANOTHER GREAT FRIEND GOD HAS GIVIN ME IS DJ. (IM NOT SAYING THAT NONE OF YOU HAVENT BEEN GOOD FRIENDS ITS JUST THESE PEOPLE HAVE DONE SO MUCH FOR ME THAT ITS AMAZING HOW GOD PUT THEM IN MY LIVES. I STILL LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!) ON JULY 4 2007 I LOST MY GRANDMOTHER AND IT WAS HARD. IF IT WASNT FOR THE LORD KEEPING ME STRONG AND FOR MY FRIENDS BEING THERE I DONT KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO. I THANK THE LORD FOR THE FRIENDS AND FAMILY HE HAS GIVIN ME. I WAS BAPTIZED IN THE SUMMER OF 2007. IF NO ONE KNOWS THE MEANING OF BEING BAPTIZED ITS WHEN YOU BECOME REBORN. ALL YOUR SINS ARE WASHED AWAY AND YOUR A NEW PERSON YOU SINS AND YOUR PAST IS LEFT BEHIND YOU. (THE LORD HAS BLESSED ME WITH SO MUCH AND IF I DONT TAKE THE TIME TO WRITE THIS I FEEL LIKE I DIDNT DO MY PART IN BRING PEOPLE TO CHRIST. BECAUSE JESUS IS THE BEST THING FOR ANY1 AND EVERY1) ON NOVEMBER 28 2007 I LOST MY MOTHER AND ITS REALLY HARD FOR ME BUT I KNOW THAT IF IT WASNT FOR THE LORD TAKING AWAY MY PAIN AND KEEPING STRONG AND KEEPING MY FRIENDS AT MY SIDE AND MY FAMILY I WOULD HAVE LOST IT. I WOULDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO. MAYBE SOME OF YOU ARE WONDERING "WHY ARE YOU STILL IN CHURCH IF GOD TOOK YOUR MOM?" WELL THATS NOT HOW YOU SHOULD THINK!!! HE CAME AND TOOK BECAUSE IT WAS HER TIME TO GO AND SHE LEFT SO PEACEFULY PLUS SHE IS IN NO MORE PAIN HERE ON EARTH. IT SAYS IN THE BIBLE THIS PLACE IS NOT OUR HOME OUR HOME IS IN HEAVEN WE ARE HERE JUST TO TALK OF THE WORD OF GOD AND WORSHIP HIM IN ALL HIS GLORY. I KNOW MY GRANDMOTHER AND MY MOTHER ARE UP THERE PARTYING IT UP WITH THE LORD AND THE REST OF MY FAMILY THAT IS UP IN HEAVEN. ALTHOUGH IT HURTS IM GLAD THEY ARE IN HEAVEN THAN HERE ON EARTH IN PAIN. I KNOW THAT THEY ARE WATCHING OVER ME.
WHAT I WANTED YOU TO LEARN IS THIS LOVE THE LORD, LOVE YOURSELF, LOVE YOUR FAMILY, LOVE YOUR FRIENDS, AND LOVE YOUR ENEMIES. BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN SOMEONE IN YOUR LIFE IS GOING TO PASS AWAY AND YOU. WHEN IT HAPPENS YOU WANT TO REMEMBER THAT YOU LOVED THEM AND YOU SHOWED THEM LOVE BEFORE ITS TO LATE. BECAUSE THE LAST THING YOU SAY TO A PERSON IS SAY SOMETHING HURTFUL, HATEFUL, AND MEAN. IT WILL EAT YOU UP INSIDE. I KNOW NOT BECUASE I'VE DONE, BUT BECUASE I KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAS. IM PARYING FOR THEM BECAUSE IT IS EATING THEM ON THE INSIDE. SO WORSHIP AND LOVE THE LORD, LOVE EVERYONE IN YOUR LIFE (NOT JUST FAMILY AND FRIENDS EVERY1!!!) AND LOVE YOURSELF. I PRAY THAT THIS MESSAGE TOUCHES LIVES!!! GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU AND I SAY IT FROM THE HEART.
