As I walked down the pathway from my past and looking into my future. In my mind I rewind my life and see the things that I have been through to get to this point in my life. To see me today, is like looking at a new woman, a person that has all her eggs in the basket.

But just a few years ago, I was partying all the time, and using drugs and alchol to get me through my day. I didn't care about anyone and I really didn't love myself. I used men or they used me, which ever way you looked at it. I hurt my friends and my family, I was living up to what everyone was saying. I was a failure and did everything I could to be one.

Then I met this person that I knew but never talk to. She told me that I should give my life over to the Lord. I laughed, I wasn't about to give up anything. She would hold my and pray for me, I couldn't see any change in me.

Then one night after I had been party, I passed out. I could feel myself leaving my body. I couldn't control anything or call out to anyone for help. Then I heard a voice, but I saw nothing.

I d you but you rejected me. I have given my life for you, but you have deny me. People have told you about me but you didn't believe in me. You will not die, but you shall live, not because you have been so good, but because of the abundance of my love that I have for you. My love which knew no sin, went to cross to shed blood so that you could have a right to the tree of life.

When I woke up, I was in the hospital with my friends and family surrounding me. From that moment on, I dedicated my life to God. I knew the sacrifice that He had made by given up His Son for me.

But today, I start a new beginning, with a man that loves God and doesn't hold my pass against me. For he told me that we all had sin and fell short of God's glory which is in Christ Jesus. Tears ran down my face, for I never thought that I would have such love in my life. The love of a Godly man and the love of an enternal Father.

A new beginning, without dragging my past with me. I'm not saying that I'm all that in the Lord, but I'm maturing every day.
