The Start of Something Big (con't)

This may have been one of the craziest school years of my life. I went from working my one job to working third shift at another job lifting an average 13 tons a night. I was taking classes full time, playing a number of intramural sports and still somehow maintaining a social life. Once again, I was doing what I thought I was suppose to be doing as a young man in college. I was having fun, working hard, and not lying, so I figured I was doing good if not better than most.

One thing lead to another and the drama arose as it does in college and in life. This is where I developed a horrible skill in drastically making people see things from my point of view. Why was this horrible, because I basically learned how to manipulate people by making them feel a certain way and getting them to do what I wanted. To me it was a defense mechanism to divert away from drama, so once again, it wasn't lying so it wasn't really wrong to me. Now that I look back on it, I really believe it was the wrong thing to do for sooooooooooo many reasons.

So first semester was ending and life was to say going easy and simple. I just started that job lifting all that weight in the end on november. I had no idea how the next following months would start a change in my life. The job for starters, obviously sucked, but at first I didn't realize how much because they ease you into how much it actually sucks. So I get home for Christmas break, which is always great and this year instead of the usual sweater, my Grandma gives me a Bible with a promise from me attached. I had to promise her I would read it. Why does any of this matter? I really didn't believe in God at this time. I was a person that had to see it to believe it, and after taking a biology class it was hard for me to argue against evolution. But my Grandmother being as smart as she was made me promise, so as my bookmark stated, a promise made is a promise kept. This would be the beginning of something I never saw coming and til this day I Thank God for using one of the women I love most in this world for physically, strategically and literally putting me directly on this path.
