That got me thinking about how my life was before I learned who Jesus was and started praying. Now, I'm not the most religious person. I don't go to church or bible study every week, but I do talk to God a lot. I was 15 1/2 when I started this prayer relationship with him. Before that my life was horrible and scary. I felt alone and empty. I contemplated taking my own life many times. I was often hopeless and afraid of everything, including my parents at the time. When I became a teenager I knew there must be more to life because if that was it, I was screwed. But ever since I started praying my life changed forever and for good.
One of my first prayers was for God to save me from my present situation when I was in foster care. What did He do? He reunited my mother and me. I got to live the rest of my childhood with her. When I was 16 years old my heart was broken for the first time. What did God do when I prayed? He didn't let me near that man again and later brought me a man I can't imagine living without. I have numerous answered prayers... I used to write them down, but there's too many now to count. When I say answered prayers I don't mean he said yes to everything. I mean he answered them every time with either, "yes, no or not now". Even if I didn't get what I wanted, I found out later why and I ended up with something better.
So when I woke up at 5am with Leia, I couldn't help but thank God for all the wonderful things he has done in my life since He came into it. It changed forever. I just wanted to share that with you guys.
