WOW! How did I make it to this point!

"Wow! How did I make it to this point!" This is the question that I often bring to my attention everytime I realize that I am on this campus. I am not the same person that I was before I set foot on this campus. I used to live in the harsh conditions of the "Projects" in Valdosta, GA. I was doing a vast amount of things that were very bad. I have had a horrible life experience there. Sometimes, I thought to myself, "Was this all that there is for me?" For an example, I got shot at before, I had been jumped and beaten to death before, and I was really suffering as far as even having a scarcity of a lifestyle. I was basically poor and I was scarce as far as having the neccessities for life. I really thought that that was how my life was going to end. But one day, when I had encountered a car wreck that greatly has impacted my life, I had decided to turn it completely around. I knew about Jesus, but I did not know him, and that played huge part of why I was pursuing to be apart of activities that were the works of the devil. But, I am glad now that I am saved, I have a purpose in life, and my goals of the future are very achievable. So, that is why I constantly ask myself, "WOW! How did I make it to this point!" It is amazing how GOD transformed a jacked-up person who took life for granted like me into a humble, determined, and optimistic individual. That is when I come to the realization that it was GOD's overflow of abundant grace, mercy, and love that has brought me out, and I will give him thanks, glory, and honor forever because he is worthy of all the praise. God bless! peace!
