What's My Story
Dana Gregory
You see, when I only nineteen I was called home from college. My 49 year old father had suffered a stroke and his condition was quite serious. By the time I arrived, he had already slipped into a coma. I wasn't sure if he would make it. I talked with him and prayed beside his bed, but he couldn't respond. I was so afraid of losing him. It was too soon. There was still too much to talk about. I realized I didn't even know what he believed spiritually. I didn't know if he believed in God. He had only attended church with our family occasionally and never spoke about his faith. I was so scared! That night my father died. I was terrified that my Dad hadn't gone to heaven. But the next day our Pastor shared with me something I didn't know. My Dad had received the gift of eternal life. I felt such peace and joy knowing exactly where my Dad was. I was freed from fear of uncertainty by knowing that one day I would be reunited with him.
And it is the same today, because I know that if I were to die today, I would be with God in heaven too.
