It's Not What I've Learned, It's What God Has Shown Me What He Can Do!


It's not what I've learned, it's what God has shown me what He can do!There are so many different things that I have learned about God. First of all, Christ has done so much for me in the last 28 months, and it's great! For the people that don't know me, I was a drunk, a dope head, and didn't care what people thought of me, because I didn't like people and that's because I didn't like myself. So, I lived on the river in a tent, and these people in red shirts would always come around, I didn't trust them, I didn't trust anyone, but they kept coming around. I began to get close to some of these people. They would ask me to come to church with them. I haven't had a bath in a while, and I could smell myself, so I didn't go and yet they still kept coming around. I knew then that these people were for real. They weren't just coming around to make themselves look good, it's what God has told them to do. I'm going to be selfish with this one, He sent them there just for me!! Now, I'm one of these people in a red shirt doing my part no matter what it is. That's what I've learned. God has reached down and grabbed me and what He does with me from here on out, is up to him. He's taken care of me when I couldn't take care of myself. I love where He has me right now!!!!!!!!!!!I love what I've learned about going the extra mile to help others and I'm going to keep on coming around with my red shirt on.
