Many times I reminisce on what led to me getting saved. I was tired of wasting my time, money, and energy on things that did not add to my character or the quality of my life. A year before I got saved I had suffered through an abortion process. Before the abortion I had survived a car collision that could have been more devastating then it ended up being. I walked away from that car collision with no injuries. God was speaking to me through these situations, but I still had not finished satisfying my fleshly desires. I had gone through some things where Satan could have tried to spiritually blackmail me. None of my family members knew about the abortion, but my soul was crying out for more. I didn't know for "more of what." The emptiness that I felt was a "lack of God" in my life. I was determined not to let what I had gone through stop me from taking a different direction in life. The most important decision that I ever made in my life was to seek after God. . He came and met me where I was at in my life, and the decision was up to me as to whether to seek more of Him. I was at a crossroads in my life and I had nothing to lose. I am thankful and grateful that God extended his grace to allow me to have a relationship with Him.

Bless the Lord for you Scott. It is commendable of you to share so candidly with us where the Lord has brought you. I love quotes, and one of the quotes that I have hanged up in my office reads, " living God’s way means you have to draw a line somewhere. I praise God that you did. The bible compels us to live the victorious life in which the Lord Jesus died to give us. Keep trusting in God and leaning on his word (not your understanding). My God (our God) is a keeper, and he is willing to keep those who are willing to be kept. You are in my prayers.
Thanks for sharing, Scott. Much needed reminder of God's promise that if we seek Him, we shall find Him, when we seek Him with all of our heart. He goes on to say,"and I will be found by you" Keep the faith!
