I'm 27 years old and God has brought me a long way. When I was 16 I got engaged to a great guy. We talked about getting married after I got out of high school. We went to church together ever Sunday and Wednesday. We thought we had it all together. On May 11, 1997 on our way to church which feel on a mother's day that year we got into a very bad car wreck. My mom was a few cars behind us. I got banged up pretty bad and looked over and he was killed on impact. We were at the scene for 2 hours. When we were finally taken to the hospital my family was already there and my dad was a fire fighter at the time so he left work and met me there. He already knew my bf had died. I was checked out and finally released. Finding out he had died was very weird for me. I never had someone so close to me die. The following weekend I was raped by the guys friend. I prayed that God would make it all go away. A couple of years after I got out of school I met another guy and after 2 years of dating he asked me to marry him. I did not know what I was suppose to do. A few months later he started beating me. I was scared to leave. I was affraid for my life. When he would beat me I would pray that God would go ahead and bring me home. Three months before our wedding God gave me the strength to leave. The following weekend God brought me to my now husband. We began to hang out and just be friends. My ex came back at the end of that weekend asking for me to come back and God gave me the strength to stand up to him. My husband and I got married two and half years ago and I am loving it. He is so similar to my ex that died. It is like I got a second chance in a way. But my husband is more loving. I never thought that was possible. My husband was called to preach 3 years ago and I am now a Sunday school teacher and God is blessing us so much. And I want to give God all the Glory for what he brought me through. GOD I LOVE YOU!!!
