In July of 97, I lost my best friend to a car accident. After that, i really went downhill. I blamed God for her death, she backslid and was living in sin. The guy she was with was my ex-best friend, she got mixed up in the wrong crowd. She used to be the best witness and she knew her Bible, I was always shy and wouldn’t witness but when I met her I started to come forth.
But when she died I couldn’t take it. I don’t know if she made it to Heaven or not. Well for the rest of that year, I partied and went with a lot of guys. I almost went to jail for vandalism, there were so many times I could have been killed.
In late 98 I got back in church and rededicated my life. At the beginning of 99, I met this wonderful guy at a sing whom he played the guitar for.
Well I and that guy are married now, he still plays for that group and is active in our church and has a 2-month-old little girl. I never knew how much I could love someone until I had her. And now I realize how my mom felt all those years I rebelled. I thank God that I am alive today because I could be in hell today had it not been for his grace and mercy. Sometimes the devil tries to remind me of my past but I’m reminded of the verse in Philippians 3:13.
