Hi Everyone!
My name is Mel... I came here via Born Again. The atmosphere seems very peaceful and loving, I look forward to getting to know everyone! A little about me:
I am currently enrolled in school working on Double Major in Sociology & Criminal Justice, hoping to eventually obtain a Master's degree. I desire to work in ECI, CPS, Child Care Licensing or the Juvenile Justice System. Currently, I privately tutor students for College Algebra and below in Math.
Also, I know ASL (American Sign Language) and will at some point be sitting for my Texas Interpreter's Exam
On October 10, 2013... A dreadful thing happened. BUT JESUS SAVED ME......
I was driving home, and suddenly, I found my car smashed into a tree and knocked upside down. The jist is, I dropped a bottle of water in the floor board and went after it- bad mistake on my part. Taking my eyes off the road for a split second proved to be a near fatal mistake.
It could have been a very fatal accident- but it wasn't because Jesus was with me. I was pinned to the car with my seat belt, and facing death. My chest was compressed, I couldn't breathe very well- and I had some kind of caustic substance dripping on me (I would find out later it was gasoline, and my car was on fire).
I was facing death head on, and sheer panic set in. There were some truckers who were there, they kept trying to calm me – and they had the tools to get me out- what a miracle. At one point, after the initial shock wore off I just started praying. My prayer was “Jesus, if you’re ready to take me home- please take me now, otherwise please get me out of here”. I got this overwhelming sense of peace you can not imagine. I was facing death head on, and all I felt was peace. What an amazing feeling to know I don’t fear death! As Christians, we have no need to fear death, but to embrace it. JESUS SAVED MY LIFE
Other than that, I live in Texas with my husband and our Russian Blue cat named Xena. She is beautiful, here she is!
