You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

View all responses

If I wrote my autobiography, Help from Heaven: Evidence of God’s Love, the opening sentence would be: “I should have been dead, but the Lord had other plans for my life.” I am astounded at the miracles in my life, and I don’t take credit for how wonderful my life has been. Yes, I have had difficult times, and how I got through them seems a mystery. I give the Lord all the glory.

I never thought I would reach the age of 30, and no one could have convinced me that one day I would be a college professor and have a great marriage. I had stopped believing in dreams being fulfilled by age 21, so I filled my days with playing cards (Bid Whist) and drinking beer. Having twice barely survived dying at the hands of two men who said they loved me, I had no hope that anything in life would change for me.

Today, I look back at the miracles that allowed me to survive the violence and remain in the land of the living, and I realize that I am living proof of the truths found in God’s Word. His plans for my life gave me a future and a hope. So, my autobiography would be a living and breathing testimony that my life is the evidence of the love of God for the least of us. I am grateful for every day. I say thank you, Lord, every morning for another day’s journey, before I get up out of the bed so I don’t forget. I don’t take life for granted. Where would I be if not for the Lord? I wouldn’t be here today, I am sure.
