Shortly after I stopped seeing my dad I was taking a walk with my only friend left, let’s call her Blair. She and I were on our way to do some pretty evil things when it happened. I stopped dead in my tracks, a voice in my head that I knew was God had spoken to me. “Kylie, stop.” I heard. He hadn’t meant for me to stop walking, he meant for me to stop what I was doing. To stop everything and follow Him again. That day I looked at my friend and I told her what we were doing was wrong, and we needed to somehow get out of it. She apparently had been feeling the same way I had and agreed. But to be so far into the mess we were in it was impossible for us to get out ourselves, I needed help and I had no idea where to get it from. I continued to do the things I knew I needed to stop out of fear. I literally felt like I had chains around me. The world had offered me something that looked too sweet to only find out it was really bitter inside. I wonder if that is how Eve felt when she took a bite of the forbidden fruit. Again, I was mad at God, why wasn’t He there? What I didn’t realize is that He was, I just couldn’t see it.
I didn’t realize is that He was, I just couldn’t see it.
A few weeks later I had gotten home from school and the abuse from grandmother continued again like it did every day. This time it was different though, I had had enough! I called my family that had saved me before and begged them to take me away from her. I had told them everything that had happened and they agreed. It was time to come home. So I left the next day. I left the dark place I was in and all the things that I had done behind. That day I felt Jesus take it all from me. He cleaned my soul and I was now free.I could tell you that this was the end of my story but it is just one part of it. One part where I learned some very valuable lessons in life. I learned that nothing is better than having the Lord Jesus Christ in your life. I learned that I will NEVER abandon God ever again. After this it was only a few years later that God had shown me where he wanted me. People have always said God had a plan for my life, and if I had taken it all those years ago I would not be able to sit here right now and tell you a piece of my story. I would not be able to write all the other articles I have written so that people could be inspired by Jesus, be inspired by a man who gave His life up and endured excruciating pain so that He could have me. Jesus saved me once when He died on that cross, but He also saves me every day from the sins that I commit and the trouble I get into. He can save you too. All you have to do is ask. Jesus is there watching you, protecting you. I didn’t see it back then, but I do now.
