Book Cover & Preview Text
“Now what do I do?” I thought as my friend and I slowly left the parking lot of the free clinic. This somehow expected news meant that I would not be returning to Bible College next month. Because of this turn of events, I did not plan ahead; but somewhere along the way I knew I wouldn’t be going back. I had slipped so far away from God I didn’t know if I would ever find my way back. It was as if I could hear God telling me as He hit me upside the head with a 2x4 “Are you going to serve me or not?” I didn’t have an answer; all I knew I was traveling down a road I knew I could never turn back up again. I decided how I wanted to live my life, and now I was paying dearly the consequences of my actions.
