God is My GPS

I want to tell you a little bit about me. I was a young pregnant teen, still lived at home with my mom,who is also a Christian. When I got pregnant i was so scared, I told my mom and she talked to me and she said that we would get through this together and abortion was not even an option, I didnt even know what it was and my mom didnt even bring it up. I was so blessed. I had my daughter and my mom help me take care of her. I praise the Lord for my mom.
Well when I had her I was 16,and so I lived with my mom til I was 18 and then I met a man who I thought was just it, I told my mom we was going to move out and I was going to live with this man and we was going to get married.Needless to say I did just that and I found out that he was "just it" something that i didnt want but after 7 years of marriage and 3 babies later, we divorced. It never even crossed my mind to ask God what He wanted for my life, I was just the tipical young adult and thought I knew it all.
Well needless to say I didnt know anything.So I divoreced my husband who didnt love me and we didnt have a real marriage, it was married on paper but not in our house, another words he had better things to do than to put up with me and the kids so, again not seeking God first I contiued to make more foolish decisons, I cheated on my husband with one of his friends who was showing me all the attention that my husband had lacked showing me.
It was just a short time after my divorce was final, I was married again, yes, I was so foolish. I was in and out of church but I didnt read my Bible and I wasnt making God my leader or my guidance. I got saved at a very young age and I knew and believed in God but neither of my husbands wasnt the leader called had called him to be so our house hold wasnt doing what God expected a family to do. So another 7 years went my and the marriage failed again. This time I decided to stay single, I was done with marriage. I had been hurt enough, i had been lied to, cheated on abused metally and physically by both of my previous hsbands and I put my girls through so much,so I stayed single and focused on my job and what I wanted to do, still not thinking about what Gods plans are for me.
I started working at a nursing home in another city close to ours and the first night I walked in my whole changed the second i stepped in the door.
There he was, a very handsome man who I had worked with 5 years prior to this night at another nursing home, I didnt even know he knew my name, we had talked and said hi a little before, but when I walked in our eyes met and we both said hello and the very next night he had changed his schedule to the overnight shift so we could work togehter.Then 3 weeks later I was married again!!! I thought wow what happend to me,but there was just something different about this man. So we got married and I started going to church with him and short time later I rededicated my life to the Lord. Wow, how my life has changed,I now have a wonderful husband,of 8 wonderful years of marriage, that I know, is a gift from God. God has used this man to change me to focus on God and to make God my GPS and Lord of my life.I went through something in my life very traumatizing after Stephen and I married, (not nothing Stephen had done) but sometihng that happend while I was married to my ex but was brought up 3 years later, but I know that if God had not sent Stephen to be in my life and use him to bring me back to focus on God then I would not be here today.
I am so blessed to have an awesome husband and wonderful mother and siblings and a strong family that God has given me.We have the best life
we could ever ask for here on earth. We are not rich financially but thats fine with me, because we are rich in Jesus Christ and now that He is my GPS and living in my heart, I will not go the wrong way, I am on a straight way to heaven!
We are in a very awesome church,with a loving Chrisitan family so Im extra blessed.The church God led us too also has a program I had never heard of before,its called "Celebrate Recovery", i took that class and God used that to free me from all my past hurts. My husband loves me, he comforts me when I need him, he wipes my tears when I cry and he is a true husband and a gift from God.
This is the verse that God placed in my life when that stuff happend:
"I say this because I know what I am planning for you,"says the Lord.
"I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future. Then will you call on my name. You will come to me and pray to me, I will listen to you. you will search me, and when you search me with all your heart you will find me!I will let you find me, says the Lord, i will bring you back from your captivity. Jeremiah 29:11~14a.(NCV)
God knew all that stuff was going to happen to me,God had a plan for me and my life, He had sent me a person to help go through this with me and get me focused on God because he knew what was fixing to happen to me.
When i started seeking God and gave my life back to him, my whole life changed, I now have an awesome husband, we are very involved in the deaf ministry of our church and he has blessed us with so many things like you would never believe but thats another story! I know from experince that when Jesus Christ comes into your life and you let God be your GPS, your life will make a u-turn and you will be going toward heaven instead of hell~
Thank you for taking the time to read. I pray that if you dont know Jesus or if you have not been living the Christian life that you promised God you would live dont wait till its to late, we are never promised tomorrow, we have to live for today! May God bless and touch each heart that reads this and it all be for Gods glory and honor in Jesus name AMEN.
