Back in the late 1990's my life kind of fell apart (divorce, losing friends & general life upheaval) cue depression and bad thought's. When I was at my lowest point I took a bottle of pills and went to bed hoping no one would find me. But I was found and wound up on the psych ward of the local hospital. There I found help and got hooked up with a great counselor.
I will always credit God for saving me that day and leading me to get the help I needed. The thought of all I would have missed if I hadn't been found causes me such great sadness. I have 7 grandkids I would not have had the joy of watching then grow up. He kept me alive because I wasn't finished with what I was supposed to do and people I was supposed to meet. I am so glad to still be here!
When I was falling so low in my hole that I had made, and I felt there was no escape from it whatsoever. My happiness started to quickly disappear and I realized I was in fact not as happy as I imagined. So I prayed. I guess my parents realized that I was not happy and was stuck in an endless angry loop. I later got diagnosed with OCD. It took me by surprise, but now that I look at the big picture it has stitched parts of me back together. I still feel like I'm still missing pieces, but I feel much better, and I'm now out of the big depression drop of it all. I'm so glad that God gave me a second chance. It has definitely made my faith stronger.
When my grade in math just randomly went up and a ton of assignments were excluded bringing my from a F to a C. This was a few days ago. Happened to my whole class, but still
I recall a locum doctor asking me one time if I believed in God, cos surely someone had been looking after me the day I nearly died in a motorbike accident. She didn't seem to get it when I explained that any god that would think it a good thing to let someone undergo all that pain and suffering yet still claim credit for saving them was not a god I would ever have any time for. Even if I believed in gods' existence in the first place.
After a month backpacking in the wilderness I rented a cabin, took a shower, jumped on the bed, turned on the TV , and casually opened the bible. As I looked down, the tv crackled to life, and Charlton Heston was saying the exact line that my eyes were reading. Wtf. I went back to the same place a year later after another long wilderness trip, rented the same cabin, reapeated everything the same... and wheel of fortune came on. So I gave GOD a second chance, and he blew it. That's how you know there's no god.
