What's My Story
From Depression to a blessed wedding
Miguel
Being a christian does make a differece because you don"tlive the same life like you use live before. Now you live your life in christ and not your flesh.
Here is my story and how i found change in trusting God. Before I came a born again christian. I lived in the world for myself, pleaseing myself and my desires for 30 years. I use to live in the life of going to clubs to meet women, I use to drink, sometimes smoke, I was doing alot of fornicatiing in my relationships. Even though I was raised as a christian since age 7. I knew what was right and what was wrong. I didn't really know how live a clean life because I didn't know how much god loved me and I didn"t care about going to church when I was little. Sometimes I went and sometimes I didnt. God sent me alot of people to preach the truth to me but I wouldn't listen because I thought my decisions were better. I was really given alot of freedom when my parents divorced in when I 10 years old. I was happy because I was able to do what I wanted. I was stayin g late, I went to see Rated movies, I was staying over my friends house, I was smoking in six grade. and starting messing with girls in 8th grade and made my own decisions til I was 35. I had done so many wrong things, I opend doors many doors, and cause myself to be in Debt $30.000 because i didn't trust God when I was young. I was trying to live in both worldsGod loves his children so much that he will discilpine them if they dont listen just life a father would to his own child. Inorder to find God I had to go through the worst trail of my life when I hit severe depression in July 2004. My first 2 weeks I couldnt sleep. My health started to detoriate. I was always crying and sleeping alot,I was scared to be by myself. At night I felt fine but in the day time I was scared ot daylight.I couldn't work anymore because of my heath problems. I had to break up my girlfriend because I lost my mind. I had to quit my job because I was in bad health. I don't know what happend just like that one day my life changed over night. I was living a nightmare. I was getting alot of nose bleeds, I was pulling hair and made bald spots all over my head, I was starving myself. I lost the will to live. My depression lasted over 4 months. Because I almost lost everything. The doctors could not explain my condition. No medication workded. The doctors were puzzled. My family and the church was praying for my healing. I was living all over staying with my sisters house, my brothers house, my parents house, and my church brothers house. I couldnt stay by self. I was avoiding my girlfriend who was always looking for me. One day I told if he could heal of this depression It would be a great testamonie to share. One night God started building my faith for days. Then after 4 months of hell on the 3rd week of November 2004 I was healed instantly. Oneday I just back to work like nothing happen. I couldn't believe it. I became healed. I starte feeling better. God had restored my health. and build a strong faith in my life. I starte sharing my story to others I was even invited on prime television to give my account. My life changed for the better. In 2005 I started working full time. My life became better then ever. For the first time in my life I gained a new strong faith and I was sharing what God did in my life. After a few months my new faith kinda died. I was not going to church regularly, and I was not reading the bible. I fell back into my old life of sinning. Then in 2007 I met a christian woman christian who wanted me go visit her church and see what God can do with my life. I went to visit her church the last sunday of 2007 the message I heard that day really impacted me to make change in my life. On January 1st 2008 I recommitted my life to christ and afterwards my life once changed again. I had started dating a christian woman for the first time in my life. Me and evelyn were both christians so we had alot of chemistry. I didn't know what plans God had for us but we both prayed that God would lead this friendship. On January 13th 2008 we became both boyfriend and girlfriend. That same night I was almost killed in a car accident but God spared my life. On June 9th 2008 I proposed to my girlfriend and she said yes. Then God opened the door for us to get married civil on March 19,2009. Then our dreams come true with a christian church wedding on July 25th, 2009. Gods goodness really came with so many obstacles that almost stopped the wedding, but God had the first saying. It was really a blessed wedding beyond measure because God opened the doors for when had very limited resources to make our wedding happen. I am blessed to say that this year will be celebrating our one year wedding anniversary. All I can say that God is good and this completes my story.
God showed me that you really start trusting him and leads the way and opens doors that no one can shut.
My experience came after I rededicated my life in 2008.
I felt new changes. I was sharing the gospel with my co workers. and they couldnt believe my new changes.
