“My God Experience”
When I was about 13 years old, all I do is have fun and think of myself, I was selfish, naughty and ungrateful of the things which surrounded me. But it all changed in a blink of an eye. Our house burned down on Feb.4, 2008 and my Grandfather died on March 6, 2008 due to colon cancer. This sequence of events, awaken me from the depths of my blindness to reality. And those incidents changed my life and my views in life; I have opened my heart and mind to God. Who never ceased to abandon me and my family in times of problems and difficulties.
Because of those incidents a lot in my personality changed as well my views in life, I have become more responsible of my action I am aware of the problems of our family and most especially that was the point where I have experience God’s strongest presence in my life. I have never felt God as strong as how I felt that moment it was like his beside us. Compared to how we used to live it was very different we used to always have enough but after everything that had happened it all vanished and so in starting a new life we have to start from nothing to something. In the beginning it was hard especially seeing my Father suffer everything or rather doing all the hard work and we also happen to experience it but not as heavy as the duty done by our father there was a lot of time that God never ceased to abandon us and showed us that even though in our up’s and down’s he will still be with us in one incident we ran out of money to buy food but with our family and my father’s faith in God, a considered miracle or rather blessing from God happened it was 10 in the evening our father looked for money but when the time he hovered back he approached us with a “pancit bihon” in a plastic bag he told us that on his 3rd passenger a generous woman gave him 200 pesos in payment to his service of getting her to her destination safely even though the destination of the woman was not that far, we considered it as a Blessing in disguise. And that

    As I was growing up I would always try to break free, from all the violence going on around my neighborhood. After graduating elementary school, I saw the world entirely differently. Entering my sophomore year in high school I began to get caught up with the kids outside of my school. My grandmother came from Dominican Republic in 2010. She was my back bone for my motivation. The relationship I had with her was unbreakable. In 2012 all that was taken away from me when she passed away. I was so devastated that I thought my world ended I was in disbelief. The world took a pause until I took it all in. I was in such pain that all I wanted to do was hurt everyone else around me. I felt empty. A black cloud was over me that day and for the rest of the year. I decided to stop attending school. I found no reason to keep going on in life anymore. This was the worst low imaginable; now I needed time to figure myself out without my grandma.…

    My life seemed to be going downhill faster than that bat that flew straight for my head. For about a year I lived in misery, living the life of a victim. Blaming everyone and everything for all that was going wrong with my life. I had lost what I thought was everything, my children, my home, my job and even stopped going to church. Then one day a friend of mine asked me to ride with her to a nearby town where her friend had just moved back from Dallas to. I reluctantly said yes and went on the hour drive to the middle of nowhere town. As we pulled up to the house of her friend I saw a beautiful young woman sitting on a wooden rocking chair with her arms in the air waving us down. Once we parked we sat on the porch with the friend and listened to her speak about all the great things God had been doing in her life since she surrendered all to Him. I sat there listening and arguing with myself on what it was I needed to do to get my life out of the rut it was in. I looked up at her and she caught my eye and said to me “God has called you to great things Katie, He just asks that you trust…

    Before I was saved, I lived a very unhealthy lifestyle. Being the youngest in my family, I was constantly spoiled and protected. This led me to become a very prideful and ignorant child. I thought the world was great, my life was great, and I was great. Now I am not saying any of those things are not true, but my views changed quite a bit once I hit middle school. My sister had moved onto college at this point and I was alone to tackle middle school. I discovered a lot during those years but my biggest discovery was probably about my family. I learned that they weren’t the perfect figures I thought they were. My parents fought constantly and that left me devastated. On top of being spoiled and arrogant, I was also depressed.…

    I figured out that my life was pretty great, compared to others. I am lucky to have happily married parents, a nice house, a good school district, plenty of food, and many other things. I found what I wanted to do when I got older, not a job just my hobby. I wanted to travel around the world and help others that have it a lot worse than America. Not only did I figure out what I wanted to do with my time when I get older, I found out to love my family members and to keep them close. I used to think that horrible thing like my mom or dad dying could never happen to me, but after hearing my mom's story about her parents I changed my mind. I have started to make conversation with my parents at dinner, and hang out with them more often than just when I have to. Over the past couple of years, I have grown closer to my parents, and I hope to grow even closer. I miss my Great aunt Burrell very much, and I hope that someday, in some way I can see her…

    What Changed My Life

    My whole life has been full of a lot of challenges and obstacles that I’ve overcome. Out of all the events that have changed my life there is one specific thing that I have came to see is, that I should be very thankful for having both parents together in my life constantly. I realized this last year when my pops had brought it to my attention. We got on that topic when he was just talking about life as an adult. Then with my pops in my ear like he always is, he kept telling me all this stuff I wasn’t trying to hear I looked at everyone around and I then saw that I was blessed to have a mom and dad in my life that were married. Then from that day forward I really started to listen instead of ignoring what he had to say. I also saw that just the simple fact of having a father in my life all the time was something you do not see every day. With all of this being said, both parents being together still affects my views on family and responsibilities tremendously. All these things that I became aware of have really changed my life in a good way.…

    Last year, I lived a different experience that made me open my eyes and see all that I have, and how grateful I have to be. It was a community service in La Otra Banda de Carora, a little town of Venezuela. It is called LAS (Lasallista Apostolic Service). I went with two friends and an adult. There I met many friends from different cities. I attended there for ten days. The first 3 days were in the school, then we spent 5 days in the town, and the last 2 days we went back to the school. When we were in the school a group of adults gave us some preparation and they put us in teams. After we had known what we had to do and had been organized, we went to the town. This experience has affected me in different ways.…

    I have endured many changes in my life and many of them have happened over the past six years. Here are some examples of the changes I have gone through that lead up to the greatest change of my life graduating high school, getting married to the love of my life, loosing my grandfather, and having my son. But none of those changes could prepare me for the greatest change in my life that I had to go through, and that happened on November 19, 201. What started as a typical Saturday morning with a visit with my parents would not end that way. My eighteen year old brother Wilson Gaut was staying the night with a friend of his Friday night and was suppose to be home Saturday morning well we had not heard from him and my mother asked me to call him to see if he wanted to her to hold breakfast for him. Well there was no answer so we went on about our morning and about ten minutes past and she told me to call him back and I did still no answer. At this point I went and began to get my clothes on and I heard my mother yelling and my stepfather telling her to calm down . Then she went to yelling for me and my car keys. When she opened the door I could tell she had been crying but I did not know what was going on. I went running after her and my stepdad told me to go with her after we got in the car she still had not told me what was going on. My mother began telling me to call my family members for example my grandmother and my aunt. My grandmother did not answer so I was told to have my aunt call her until she got an answer. We got to Upper Fort Hapton Road and I saw the rescue unit on in the road directing traffic and we told them that we were with family of the child, I still had no idea what happened. We topped the hill and I could see the fire trucks and ambulance I had then figured out that my brother was hurt. I saw a white sheet on the side of the road covering a body and I knew…
