Thankful!!!!!!!!!

I am thankful for the keeping power of God. I came to a cross road in my life 28 years ago today. I struggled with my consistency in the Lord for many years before October 1, 1980. I know that God orchestrated every minute detail of that day to save me. The fear of God was put in me in October of 1978 and for 2 years I stayed away from the sins that so easily trapped me. On October 1, 1980 after 2 years of being good on my own, I decided I wanted to return to my sinful ways, the fear had worn off. I had made plans that night to meet a friend after Charlie went to school, a friend I had no business with. The plans were made for the evening, where we would meet, what we were going to do. When I came home that day, it was a Wednesday, there was a note on my front door on Rosedale Avenue. It was a torn off corner of a piece of scrap paper, it said "Call me, Vivian". Why I picked up that phone and called her, only God knows, but I did. We talked for 2 1/2 hours, I cried, we talked, I cried. That night when Charlie went to school, instead of going to meet my friend, I went to church on Foster Avenue to the Woodbine Church of God of Prophecy, where I was a backslidden member. As soon as there was opportunity to get to that altar, I went. I got saved, sanctified and Bro. Dupre the pastor, said to me "Let us help you". Thank God for all of the above happening exactly how it did. Not long after that wonderful night, I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. My reputation of not being able to stay saved followed me, but after 1 year, the longest I had ever stayed saved, we celebrated in my back yard on Southern Turf for my 1 year saved celebration. Today it has been 28 years. I know without a shadow of a doubt, I would more than likely be burning eternally in hell, if I had chosen the other road to take that night. I know my family would have been destroyed, my life would have been destroyed, my girls wouldn't have been raised in church and I wouldn't be where I am today. I know this is soooooo long, but I must tell everyone that knows me, that God miraculously SAVED my life from destruction. I thank him and praise him for his mercy.I pray that I can endure to the end and hear him say "Well done thy good and faithful servant"
