Bo at Blinks and Winks From Brown-Eyes has told me that I should start to give my answer to the Wednesday question. So, I will begin to give my answer on my Thursday post.
What has been the most life-changing experience you've ever had?
Just like each of you, I've experienced several things in my life that I would consider life-changing. In fact, I always considered myself a strong and in control kind of person because of the many lessons I had learned in life. I thought I was pretty good at taking care of things - my job, my family, my friends, etc.
But, then in an instant something happened that I couldn't control. I was so afraid. I felt like someone was standing on my chest, and I could barely remember to breathe.
I prayed non-stop, but the fear still gripped my heart.
Then one day I was sobbing in the shower and all the while praying to God. The shower was so hot and the room was steamy. And, in the middle of that hot and steamy shower a cool breeze came over me. At that moment I knew that everything was really going to be okay.
At that moment I knew the meaning of the phrase "Let go, and let God". God had reached through my fear and desperation to make me realize that He is in control. Intellectually, I had known that God was in control, but emotionally I wanted to protect those I love.
God blesses my family. He is in control. I will always remember the day He sent that cool breeze to tell me to let go. The weight of all of my woes were lifted from my shoulders forever.
