Before I received eternal life, I lived a fast & crazy life.
I gained happiness by being there for my friends & family but I was never there for myself. I focused on others so that I didnt have to focus on things in my life that needed dealing with.
My life disapointed me because by ignoring my own needs, what I offered people was an inferior & sometimes false version of myself.
Before I received eternal life I was unequipped to deal with life's daily challenges.
I once got arrrested for drink driving & my mother didnt know until her sister read about it in the local paper & told her. I hadn't told her because my licence had been disqualified but I was still driving around. I was considered a bright girl but I certainly didn't act that way when it came to my own life.
Then, I received eternal life.
Many things in my life changed. I literally felt a huge weight taken off my shoulders. I was happier than I imagined I could be. I felt a clarity of mind & heart that I hadn't experienced since being a child.
Now that I know I have eternal life, without even trying I have boundaries in my life & I manage my relationships in a way that benefits everybody. I can't believe how well I am dealing & succeeding with life's daily challenges.
It's good to know that if I were to die right now I would go to be with God in heaven.
