Um, here's the short version of the very long story.
I was hardcore into Wicca and playing with ouija boards and all that ugly mess....Well, I had fallen into this whole little "I believe whatever psychics say because they're always right!" thing.... redface
One day I was watching Montel and his friend, "Psychic Sylvia Brown" was on his show and she was talking about astral projection and if it's happening to you, pray to God to make it a happy experience for yourself. Just the fact that a psychic acknowledged God's existence, to me, was proof that He existed because "psychics were always right" Then it's like something in my head finally kicked in and gave me a spiritual shot in the face. That Wednesday, I went to church and made the decision to give my life to Jesus. It is indeed, very interesting how God made our minds to work in our illogical logic. Does that make sense...?

This was really an interesting way! I'm happy that you have found God, or more exactly, He has called you to belong to him. smile

Sounds interesting. I'm not to much for TV psychics but I love such arts as Reiki, a spiritual healing method. Most of the energies you use come from god, practice or even meditation makes you feel very connected to him. After all, you have his energy running through you. If you want to learn something spiritual or similar to Psychic ability, I would recommend it. Use Google to find a good author and get a book on it, practice here and there. I'm not a very good at it but I am well connect to my spiritual essence from trying.

I'm also glad He has called me to belong to Him. Without Him and my brothers and sister in Christ, I would indeed be dead and in Hell. They and God have saved my life countless times. My pastor told me something when I was on the brink of suicide (yet again) a few months ago that made me realize that I have a crazy big purpose in my life. He told me, "Nothing in this world can destroy you. God won't let that happen." When he said that, it was at that instant that my life flashed before my eyes (figuratively) and I saw the real reason I only cracked my skin open on the metal corner of that chest instead of busting my skull wide open; that I only fractured my leg instead of breaking it; that I could sneak what seemed like miles from my home and come home safely; that I could wander around in the desert past the block in the dead of night and not be injured; that I only got a superficial owie across my throat instead of breaking my trachea wide open; that He never took me home no matter how much pain I was in or how much I begged Him....
The real reason was so I could come to know Him and do His will in this world. It is scary as hell, and I use that in the very literal sense of the phrase. What could God possibly have in store for a suicidal confused girl that has been blown whichever way the wind has blown by false prophets and blasphemous ideologies? What could the Creator of everything want to have me do for Him?
Heh....Debbie always says that we are truly blessed because God has trusted our church and our youth ministry with His most broken and hurting youth...To think that us kids are the ones God is going to use in a big way....Ha, He truly does work in mysterious ways with the most dysfunctional youth group on the planet. mrgreen
