Giving Up....

My life wasn't as seemingly perfect as it is now, and unfortunately I have had some dark days in my life where I did not see a solution in the horizon. I can honestly say there were times when the only solution seemed to be giving up. I know it sounds cliche to say that God sent a sign that changed my life around, but that is truly my story. I remember being at home one day, crying hysterically and feeling down after seeing pictures of my ex-boyfriend in California with a female he had taken there with him and lied to me about it ever occurring...I was sitting on my bed, with my eyes nearly swollen shut, when I heard a knock at my door. I half-heartedly walked to open it thinking it was my sister or something, but was greeted by a group of strangers standing at the door. Under normal circumstances I would not have opened the door to these individuals, but by the grace of God I did. They asked me if I had a moment and instead of being rude I said yes. The woman then asked me, "If you died today do you think you would go to heaven?" With my eyes still filled with tears, I responded I guess. She looked at me shockingly and told me that it wasn't to late for me to be saved and that it only took a moment of my time to accept Him as my Lord and Savior. They then grabbed my hands and we prayed together, and then she hugged me and told me I was saved. That moment, although it only took seconds, gave me hope to continue my day and let me know that even if things are going bad...there will always be a reason to keep going. Someone cares about you even when no one else humanly does. I know that moment was meant to get me in the right direction and I am very thankful that I did open my door that day and open my heart to Him.
