I lost my dad when I was 21 years of age. I was lost...the world had taken me over.
I grew up as a kid with great parents whom loved the lord. Throughout my whole life I personally would go to church here and there seeking salvation. But I never truly got to where I needed to be. I was always missing something. So I chose drugs, partying, and terrible things of this world as a substitute. Well needless to say I was heading down a road of destruction. All the drugs and partying didn't fix my problems .... so I quit! I got a job and kept it for 8 years and I figured I needed to just live right and mature as a man and all my problems would just go away. Nope, they just got worse by the day. I had it in me the whole time... i just couldn't see it. I would praise the lord when something good happened, But I would look away have pure hate when all the bad showed up! One day , I finally broke down and prayed for forgiveness during a really hard time. I went to church with an open heart and allowed Jesus to fill it. But wait, I have done this before but I always went back to my old ways. well 2 weeks later before bed, I prayed for god to show me direction...to show me what it is that i was missing. I fell asleep...and I was awoken at 2 am and I felt gods presence. He was telling me to read the word! well i opened by bible up to hebrews 6:1-3 it includes the 6 doctrines of christ. at first I didnt understand.....So I researched it then and there and said Lord , help me come to understand this , engrave it into my heart lord. And the first page I came upon .... the heading was Foundation. How could I have missed this?? Everything I build has one! and from that point on....I went from a life built on sand ......to one built on solid rock! Thank you Jesus!
