I was also sick from asthma most of the time and almost died more than once. When i was reaching seventeen i was tall and healthy and could walk for miles I remember feeling invincible. For most of my life the main thing my dad did was drive a truck and i didn't see him much. All he was thinking about was taking care of his family. There also was a lessen in what mom was able to do. She let us go out and play where we learned to take care of ourselves. My parents sent us to church i wish they was able to go also. I swore to myself that i was going to do the best i could at whatever God wants me to do. I was blessed with a beautiful little girl and she will always be my baby. Just think how nice a life you can have for your kids if both mom and dad go to church with them. I will always remember a women named "Clausen". When i was eleven she used to take me and my sister to church. What a great thing she did to introduce me to Christ. God wants us to go to church and learn from Him. Anything else that you have learned that does not have a good stand on Gods word did not come from God. The best part of my childhood that i can remember was when me and my sister stayed outside till meal and bed time. My parents let me get away with a lot but punished me when i needed it and i needed it a few times. My daughter grew up in a different world I wish i could have let her go out to play. It was to dangerous i would have worried to much. After i turned twenty my cousin noticed i was having seizures so he told my mom and dad and they took me to the hospital. After taking a few different test the doctor came in and told me the bad news. I had an AVM and it was to big to operate on. He said that he would send the files to neurosurgeons and see if he could find one that was willing to work on it. Until then I had half a year and drinking and doing drugs had to stop. I moved away from Memphis with my mom and dad to San Antone, Texas to die. They bought me a car to drive and i cruised San Antone waiting. I didn't die and we all went up to Union, Missouri next to my Uncle Bob and his family. At the time i still had my long hair and still looked like i did drugs. My Uncle Bob got me to go to church were he and his family went. It took me a while to figure out that i needed to take care of my self so i started going to collage and studying bio med "electrician in a hospital". Every time i got close to graduation they would pile it on for the finals and i would have seizures. I ended up going about five years to get an associates degree so I finally gave up. While going to Collage i met someone in a quick shop were i got lunch everyday. It took me a long time before i was brave enough to ask her to go out with me. After we went out for a while we got married. I need to learn the sign's women are sending i always try to help them. After i was married about ten years i got a divorce and got custody of my daughter. It took me about three years to get over my divorce and then it was very slow I didn't see it coming. It was hard but I thank the Lord for getting me through it. The one thing i have learned over these years is a man and wife have to go to Church if they want a good life together and for there kids to grow up and be responsible people. Dad will teach his son how to be a Godly man and his son wont have to teach himself. Mom will be able to teach her daughter how to be a Godly women. If all you can do for now is send your children to Sunday school send them. The parents need to think of there child and let God think of His children. Does going to church mean you will have a perfect life, No. It does mean you will learn from God how to live a life that will turn out allot better. Even after what i went through life was great. In 2000 i had a stroke and it paralyzed me all the way to speech. While still being grateful for every second i am alive i looked extremely healthy but couldn't do anything but think. I stayed in the hospital rehab in Texas for about three months. Then i was shipped home to Baptist rehab about eight months and then i was released to go to out patient rehab for three. I went from flat on my back all the way to walking and talking. I was very grateful to all the hospitals that God had take care of me. The time i was in rehab was also preparing me for the person God wanted me to be. I had nothing to do but think and God was putting it on me. 2CORINTHIANS 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Post Reply
