Preston Sams

I am the textbook definition of what happens when you take yourself away from God's grace only to find that he had never left you alone. I have had many trials in life (with more to come I am sure), I have had the privlege of seeing not only how strong God's love is but how strong the Devil's hold can be. I have learned that no matter how much I run from God that he will never leave my side, I also know that temtation and evil lurk in the same footsteps. Years ago as a selfish man that got pretty much anything he wanted by manipulation or deception, I was only interested what came my way, I was happy in the moment, but at night when I would lay my head down I was all alone. I fell to Alcohol and drugs as most people trying to mask their pain...I felt my time on earth was one big failure. One lonely night on a rooftop in Houston, I screamed "God why have you let me get here, I need you to do with me what you want, do I come home to you now or do you have other plans for me?"..at that very moment the security guard for the premises open the door to the roof and ask what I was doing there, I plainly said "I was praying for direction" he said "that's fine and I will wait until you are done then I will walk you down stairs". There was a softness and kindness in his voice that let my drug induced mind rest. I said "Sir, I have finished praying for now as I have been answered". From that moment, with God's help i have tried to be a better man everyday, with just a couple of setbacks I have not done any drugs in over 7 years, i have learned that helping and caring for others more than myself is what God's plan is for me. It took 44 years of wondering around this wilderness we call life to see the true meaning of happiness. Sure I have bad days, I have times when I am selfish, then I remember my angel in the form of a security guard and I know that God's plan for me is greater than mine.
