Why Me?

This is the most difficult question I have faced yet. I admit now that when I received my gift, I had many fears and questions.  What happened to me was confusing and very unsettling.  Not only did I not understand, but also, believe it or not...I had fear.  I never believed, yet here something beyond my ability of understanding, happened within seconds.  Why, did God reach down to help me when there were many better people, that needed help?           God Chose Me. 

Some of the questions going through my mind were: What was going to happen to me now?...Where was God going to take me?  Was this Permanent or would God take it back and let me fall back where I came from. Could I ask for more or should I be thankful for what I had received?  WHY ME?

My meetings with Pastor Hartsfield  helped me understand that it was okay to have the feelings and fears I was experiencing and that I would find my answers as I went forward. What I needed to do was step back and "not" look at what happened from my point of view.  I had to look at it through the eyes of God.   "Nothing is impossible with God"

Eleven months later I am starting to see very clearly why I was granted this wonderful new start in life. I am driven to new heights, toward goals that still confound and confuse me. I am moving to do things that seem to me to be impossible, yet at every point on my path, I am taken by the hand and shown the direction.

I do not know where this is leading and what wonderful things are waiting for me, but excitement and thankfulness does not come close to expressing my feelings.  I have been given an opportunity few people get; to do something that may make an imprint on many peoples' lives, for now and the future. I have been blessed, oh yes, blessed just to part of this.

I am thankful for the wonderful man that helped me along, Pastor Hartsfield. A man who helped me, and is still helping me move forward and accept what I am going through with eyes and heart wide open.

I am thankful for my wife who is supporting me and accepting the many new things that are happening in our lives. 

But most of all, I am thankful for Jesus who loved and cared for me enough to give me not only a second chance but a mission from the heart.
