Now I Know The Truth

Yesterday afternoon was unlike any afternoon I have ever had. Now I have always been a believer in
Jesus Christ, but the older I got the farther apart I would separate from him. I was sitting on my porch
thinking about why I could possibly do such a foolish thing and separate myself from the man that matters
most to me. Then that's when it hit me! It was all so clear to me now. Lately I had been going down the path of no return. A path I've always told myself that I would never follow. A lifestyle that isn't good for someone like me, but lately I've been ignoring that little voice in my head. I've just been doing whatever the hell I wanna do. I received a text from my best friend Jessica yesterday and since she is very church orientated I decided to talk to her about it. She told me how I could become closer to God again. She told me that the Lord will always take you when your broken and he will slowly but surely make everything right again. I sat down on my porch and I started to pray. I prayed like I have never prayed before. I asked for him to take me as I am, and to heal me. To rid me from all the pain I have been suffering with lately. To rid me free of all this anger I have built up inside of me. Then that's when it happened. Now yesterday was such a dreary day with all the clouds and the rain. Humidity was everywhere you turn your precious little head, making you feel as sticky as a Popsicle that was beginning to melt. All of a sudden while I was praying, a strong gust of a cool breeze blew all the cloud clear right out of the sky. They sky was now a tinted blue and it was no longer humid. Right above me where I was sitting, the sun shun down on me, only this time it felt different. Not just the regular warmth that you would normally feel from the sun. I couldn't describe the feeling I had. All the birds came out, and the rabbits. It was like suddenly this peaceful serenity broke through the dreariness. Like this was his way of telling me that if I continue to stay close to God, everything will become clearer. No more suffering, and certainly no more pain. Now this sounds like just one of those regular cloudy/ non cloudy days, but trust me. If you were to be sitting right next to me, you would have witnessed the greatest weather change of your life. I mean it was amazing! One second it was dreary and cloudy, a little bit of rain. Can you imagine just this big gust of wind suddenly bombing everything and anything dark out of it's path and suddenly the sky is painted blue and white? Truly took my breath away. Now I know he's listening up there. :) Never again will I question the Lord, for I know that he is watching over me, and through him anything is possible.
