A little over two years ago, I started dating the man I thought I would spend the rest of my life with. I can honestly say, without hesitation, that I made him my God for the five months we were together. I fell completely head-over-heels in love with this man and I finally thought I had my whole life in place. I had a boyfriend that loved me for who I was and not to mention, we were the “it couple” among ALL of our friends and acquaintances. I finally received the popularity I had longed for my entire life; I no longer considered myself a reject.
You know that little saying, “Be careful what you wish for ’cause you just might get it all,” well…I should have listened.
Things changed dramatically over the summer and he ended up leaving me-come to find out, not too long after that, my best friend was pregnant with his baby and they eloped and got married. I had never experienced pain like that in my entire life and I especially had never felt so rejected. To top it off, a few of my “close friends” abandoned me, for I was no longer with my “much-loved” ex.
I felt my whole life crumbling beneath me; then Jesus stepped in. HE became my strength and JOY-HE was my healer.
A year later, I found out about the World Race and now…here I am.
To be continued…
