For me, after I had my 2nd abortion I realized that I couldn't play anymore (which is ridiculous because I should've learned before...between #1 and #2, I actually had a child).
But, I know a lot of times it takes us to hit rock bottom (A couple times!!!) to finally take a final stand.

There wasn't one particular event. God made us to have a "special place" in our hearts/souls that longs to know Him. I was getting tired of doing the same thing (clubbing, drinking, smoking, school, work, blah, blah, blah). My life had become so mundane and I just knew that there had to be something more for me. I know that is why i tried so much...(drugs, drinking, sex, men, whatever) trying to fill that empty part of my life. When I came to the realization that GOD and GOD only was meant to fill the void that is when I finally found joy and fullness. I don't have to look to anything or any earthly person for that anymore.

I have always believed in God and always attended church, but I am currently separated from husband and I am closer to God than I have ever been. This has made me take God more seriously. I have learned that when you take your focus off God, he will take away the things that mean the most to you.
I really want to thank u ladies for sharing this information. I find it very empowering to find out what has caused people to go to God. I just find myself back tracking and back tracking so hard..I feel like I can't get back.
..and redeemed516..that is exactly where I am in my life. I just feel like there must be more but I can't help but try to fill this never ending void with all the wrong things.

I was raised in a Christian home and went to a christian school. I was told at an early age about hell, Gods wrath, and judgement. Needless to say I grew up very fearful of God and afraid to make mistakes. I used to have panic attacks and battled with a lot of emotional issues. I accepted Christ at age 7 I am now 28. It wasn't until the last 3-5 years that I've learned that he truly loves me and that if I made a mistake, he would still love me and not send me to hell. He also let me see that the people who taught me these things did so to try to control me. He exposed their mess and revealed the contradiction of their words and actions. His grace and mercy is truly sufficient.

Then i know exactly what you are going through. That void you have is only meant for God. Trust me NOTHING else is going to work. As far as back tracking..."we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God"...just dust yourself off. Satan will tell you that you can't get back because he wants to keep you bound. But God wants us to be set free. Don't let satan trick you.
I'll be praying for you. In the end you'll be able to add all this to your testimony.

My devastating break up with my boyfriend of 5 years caused me to turn to God because I had nothing left. I look back now and I know it was a blessing in disguise, God has given me the love and security that I craved, and He has now blessed me with a man who fears God and I know He is my husband from God.
For me it was as a child, I had a very emotional childhood there was no one for me to talk to or explain how I felt so I just started talking to God, God became my bestfriend, later on I discovered God's purpose for my life but even still I see him as I always have he's my bestfriend the only one in this whole wide world I can really and truly trust.

I stopped believing in God after being raised in the church, late teen rebellion and marrying the wrong man at an early age. The year 1988 is when I started believing in God again. I was tired of my life and the drama the hubby brought with all his lies and deceit. After wondering around aimlessly in downtown L.A. contemplating hopping on a bus to anywhere and never looking back. God told me I could go home now and everything was going to be alright. I was at my lowest point in life and just wanted to leave everything. After that moment my life changed for the better. My faith wasn't truly solidified til 2002 when I was rendered helpless to my child. Only the Lord could handle the situation. No parent ever wants that feeling of not being able to take their childs pain away. I left it in Gods hand. Since then I truly don't worry about my lil family. God has a plan and I will allow him to work it. Because my way ain't the way!
