What would you tell your 20 year old self

What is something you wish you could tell your 20 year old self?  I really would tell my 20 year old self to get some help for my drug addicted self.   Back then, I was accident prone because I had a grand mal seizure, and I almost died because I was intoxicated from drinking alcohol.  I also was recovering from a hand injury one year earlier because I broke my left hand playing basketball intoxicated. During that time, I was attending high school, and I was involved in street gang activities from 1979 to 1990.  However, I graduated from high school 🏫 at the age of 20 years old, and I started working at Skyline Chili Restaurant while attending college in the Dayton Ohio Area.  I actually would tell my 20 year old self to get treated for my substance abuse problems.   God has given me a second chance to accept Him in my life 🙏 ❤️ 🙌.  I know that God has never abandoned me.  God has made it possible for me to graduate from college twice from the University of Toledo.  I will admit that I was making mistakes along the way, but God has picked me up from the ground of despair numerous times.  I also had people praying for me just my academic journey.  Lord God, please teach me how to take care of myself a whole lot better than usual 🙏.  Lord God and Jesus Christ, please show me a better way of living.  I know that I can not do this by myself. I literally pray that you can teach me how to be more civilized than usual.  Lord God and Jesus Christ, I belong to You! Thank you for allowing me to answer this question to the best of my ability.  Thank you for reading my essay 🙏 ❤️.

Have You Ever Wrestled with God

Have you ever wrestled with Satan in the same way that the Man of God Wrestled with Jacob?        I have a very important question to ask everyone right now.  Have you ever wrestled with Satan in the same way that Jacob wrestled with the Man of God?  I am asking this question because I had a flashback recently.  It happened in 1974 when I got into a fist fight with a 15-year-old boy.  We got into a fist fight over a black fisted pick that people used to comb their hair.  I fought this boy because he threatened my manhood over something that he could have purchased for himself.               Next, I fought with this boy because he threatened me with violence.  I might have been younger, but that poor brother was limping after I got finished with him.  He got away on his bike.  I want to inform all of you that this boy was 6 years older than me.  I want to say that I might not have wre...

God is Watching All of US

    God is watching all of us!!   I know for myself that God has been watching me because He is solely responsible for waking me up this morning.  He watches me because I know that I am not able to get away with anything that I am doing wrong throughout my entire 60 years of existence. Next, I want to inform everyone that I have been a Born Again Christian for 10 years now.  I will admit that I have had my moments when I have acted out by using words that does not make sense.  Lord God, I am asking You; to please forgive me of all of my sins both past and present.  This also includes any sins that I am thinking about inside of my mind, as well as any besetting sins that I have presently. Good Afternoon Lord Jesus!!  How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I want to inform you that I am only a Work in Progress.  The reason why I am saying this is simply because I am not perfect.  I am asking you to please bridle my tongue; so t...

STEPS ARE ORDERED BY GOD

Steps ordered by God         Is it true that our steps are ordered by God?  This is a very good question.  The reason why I am asking this question is simply because I am curious.  The following Bible verses will be discussed: Jeremiah 10:23, Proverbs 20:24, Job 34:21, and Job 31:4.  First, I would like to emphasize that God does order our steps.  According to Jeremiah 10:23 says O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.  This means that it is a Power that is greater than ourselves that is actually helping us.  Second, in the Book of Proverbs in the 20 th  Chapter and the 24 th  verse which states that man’s goings are of the Lord, how can a man understand his own way?  This Bible verse is a little bit different.  A man’s goings are the steps that are ordered by God.  How can a man understand his own way?  This is a very good ...
