WELL GOD HAS TESTED ME YET AGAIN, I STEPPED OUT OF OHIO AND INTO THE BIG CITY OF NEW YORK. IT WAS JUST A THREE DAY BUS TOUR WITH A FRIEND I HAVE KNOWN FOR 17 YEARS AND NEVER HAD LUNCH WITH OR EVEN TALKED TO OUTSIDE OF HER WORKPLACE.( SHE WORKS AT THE BANK I GO TO EVERYDAY AS A TELLER) ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO SHE JOKINGLY ASKED ME TO GO TO NEW YORK CITY WITH HER BECAUSE WE BOTH HAD COMMENTED ON WANTING TO ALWAYS GO THERE.
WELL 4 MONTHS LATER THERE WE WERE ON THE BUS, BOTH SCARED TO DEATH TO LEAVE OUR LITTLE BOYS AND VENTURE INTO THE BIG CITY. I SUFFER FROM ANXIETY ATTACKS AND SO DOES SHE GOING PLACES UNFAMILIAR TO ME IS REALLY STRESSFUL AND ON TOP OF THAT I WAS ALONE AWAY FROM MY LOVED ONES. WELL I MADE IT BUT ONLY WITH GOD'S HELP, DURING THE BROADWAY PLAY WICKED AFTER SPRINTING THROUGH TIMES SQUARE AT RUSH HOUR AND NEARLY MISSING THE PLAY, THE ANXIETY ATTACK CAME ON, RACING HEART, SWEATY PALMS, HEADACHE,
FEELING LIKE I WAS ABOUT TO PASS OUT, I LOWERED MY HEAD IN THE GERSHWIN THEATRE AND PRAYED TO MY GOD , THAT I KNEW HE WAS WITH ME AND HE WOULD PULL ME THROUGH SO I WOULD NOT MISS THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME, AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF BEING ENGAGED IN PRAYER , I RAISED MY HEAD AND ENJOYED THE BROADWAY PLAY. ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK-YOU GOD FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE TO PULL ME THROUGH A YEAR AGO IF I WOULD HAVE WENT TO NEW YORK AND DID NOT KNOW OF YOUR GRACE I WOULD HAVE NEVER MADE IT IN NEW YORK CITY, BUT BECAUSE OF YOU I HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME AND MOST IMPORTANTLY I GREW IN MY FAITH!!!!!!!!
