The number one most life changing experience for me was accepting Jesus in to my heart. I have never regretted that decision. Ever since that day (January 9, 1983) my life has been more meaningful. I have hope, purpose, dreams and real genuine peace about life. I know that when I am in trouble, I can go to God, I know that when I need someone to talk to and everbody is busy, I can go to God. WHen I need direction, I go to God. I know that when life doesn't make sense, God has everything under control. I don't have to fret, worry, be afraid or be bound by life's circumstances. With God in the picture, everything is okay. I can say all that because I have been through a lot of tragedies. How awesome it is to know that I don't have to face life on my own, but God is there with me through it all.

Living Life Not Knowing what the Great Future holds for me.
I discover new things daily about my world and the world outside from TV mostly. The findings so much news world history and the latest creatures under the sea and fossils. Life is a mystery as to why I am here and my purpose and just holding on to what I have and keeping my health up. Life is a wonderful opportunity.
Keep your body container upright and healthy and you will live a long time. Keeping a relationship with God. Life is tempting and challenging experience enough and I give
Thanks to God for waking me up and keeping me on His program.

I woke up from an afternoon nap one day and became aware of a deep sorrow within my heart/mind. The sorrow was so intense that I couldnt take my attention off it....so I did the natural think that my mind told me...try to understand it....I tried really hard but couldnt...in the days that followed, I became kind of insane at times thinking strange thoughts to escape from the pain....now comming to what I discovered about life...I discovered that acceptance is a beautiful quality...to live life by the moment and to not make any greedy plans for the future that is really beyond our control...and above all, time/god brought to my assistance one who I had never met but who gave me so much support during the hard times...that I think, was grace...and I believe now that existance itself is a miracle.

Wow! Good question.
The most life changing event for me was when my cousin died 7 years ago at the age of 16. I learned how horrible it feels when people someone they love at a very young age. Now, at the age of 20, when I hear that someone young and full of life dies, I know how the people they left behind feel. Life is short. Do everything you can to have a great life.

Years ago when I was in my early 20s, I had a horrific day. I quit my girlfriend because she was doing me wrong. I lost my job and my car broke down. I had little money. I was feeling about as down as I have ever felt. I began to weep heavily and feel very bad.
I began to talk to God and asked Him why this has happened to me. What did I do to deserve it all, especially all in one day. I was very upset, crying heavily. Suddenly I felt a tingle that touched the top of my hair and filled me to my feet. It was the most beautiful feeling of love I have ever experienced. I was suddenly joyful and my tears were gone. I was happy. I knew that everything would work out fine. Something Divine touched me that day. I don't know if it was Jesus Himself or one of God's angels, but I will forever remember and be thankful for that special gift that day. I have never ever experienced that type of love before or after that moment. I am CERTAIN that God exists and is in control of my life and will always be there for me.
I have never been bipolar or manic depressive in case that would be someone's explanation.

A big challenge I had was trying to conform to my husband's religion. He grew up a Christian, and I spent many years while we were dating going to church, Bible "study" and various other Christian events. I was very polite and never questioned what was occurring. I even joined a church after we got married.
I also scholastically study religion, and so he would learn as well. A lot of my focus was on Christianity, the texts, and theology.
To make a long story short: he left the church and is a Pagan now. I personally was Agnostic until he decided to be a Pagan, and we came to that conclusion together: it wasn't one of us choosing the religion like before, when he decided we would be Christian.
I learned that knowledge and patience will lead to truth and happiness.

It is when I went to Vietnam and was in that war. Life is precious and have a happy time with it. I learned the extreme of what hate can do to a person when we have to kill someone to get our way or point across. I'm more positive and i always try to do something everyday nice for someone else even if it is to open a door for someone. I love my life and the lessons it taught me.

There was no exact event... I just started to feel something grow inside me and started to experience the world from a different aspect.
The result is: There are no paradoxes. Two opposite things can get on well without being contradictory.

Having my daughters, they really taught me patience, which I had none, to truly love another more than yourself, which I thank them, because I finally understand how GOD loves me. This has been my changing experience in life.
