Praise God for THIS TRUTH!!!!
THEN:
I was a very religious child growing up! I went to church 3 times a week, was in Bible bowls, and was involved with every YOUTH EVENT known to man! I was so involved in FACT that I WENT TO COLLEGE TO BECOME A PREACHER!!!! I thought that I KNEW GOD BETTER THAN ANYONE!!! I could quote scriptures, argue doctrine, and I knew all of the religious LINGO. HOWEVER, I was a very REBELLIOUS PERSON IN THE HEART. I gave in to lustful desires, and I was a very angry person. I overate (I weighed 182 pounds at my heaviest) and I over drank. I had SEVERE HEART BURN and GERD! I would act inappropriately with girls at school! I was full of pride, praise of men, and legalism. I had no peace at my jobs and with my bosses! I did not respect those in authority over me! BUT THEN IN 2004, GOD RESCUED ME FROM THIS ABYSMAL EXISTENCE.
NOW:
I have the TRUE RELIGION in my heart, I am involved with raising my SON, who GOD has blessed me with, up in this TRUTH. I have no desire to speak unless God allows me to speak! I do not argue about the word of God, I am not angry rather I am a very peaceful and calm person. I look inward to make sure that I am doing what I am expected instead of blaming the circumstances around me! I STOPPED OVEREATING and GOD DROPPED 32 POUNDS from MY BODY!!!! I no longer act inappropriately with females! I look at them as SISTERS, and no longer have the praise of men in my heart! My finances are now in much better shape than they were! GOD SOLD my HOME in a time and market where the realtor said it will be TOUGH and NEAR IMPOSSIBLE!!! I love my job and the opportunity to make my BOSS LOOK GOOD! I LOVE THIS GOD OF THE UNIVERSE and PRAISE HIM FOR THIS TRUTH OF OBEDIENCE!! How DARE ANYONE SAY THAT OBEDIENCE TAKES AWAY FROM GRACE!!!!!
