No turning back

Happiness. A word used frequently but one frequently misused. True happiness should not be able to be stripped away. Up until last year >>>11'<<< I didn't know true happiness. I always had to find something new and fresh to keep me happy. My happiness was contingent upon what I had.

Sorry for blabbing.

Long story short:

I was a hip-hop artist living the fast life and taking life for granted.I grew to be depressed and suicidal while still masking it with a smile (the most dangerous situation in my opinion). One day the Holy Spirit led a strange man to my recording studio, who asked me a simple question. "Who is Jesus?". This question as well as this man struck deep into my conscience. For one, I always wondered "If there is only one God, then why is there God the Father and Jesus (muslims used to always trip me up with this). Two, I've met plenty of "Christians" in my life, that when they were in this same scenario (seeing sin before there eyes: drinking, pot-smoking, and partying) would only nod their head, look at studio, and say "nice equipment".

This man was different. he shut down every speculation I had against the Holy Bible and every question I had about Jesus. And then he reminded everyone in that studio of the goodness of God as well as the consequence of sinning and not accepting God's generous offer, which is eternal death in hell.

After one more grievous sin that only proved to me I had no control over myself, I gave my life to Jesus. Once I decided to follow Jesus, I said to myself "No turning back". The good Lord has been guiding me to many truths and I continue to hold own to His precious garments as He guides me through His Holy Spirit to walk this narrow road.

Now I'm filled with Joy from the Lord. I am truly happy  =)

Lord willing, I will be posting thoughts, hymns, and poems as the Lord leads.

May God bless you and lead you into His rest.

Love
