What's My Story
He knows what's best for me.
Steve Laskoski
I tried to get or keep control of my life, but could not. I tried to please people, thinking that would help me please God, but it didn't work. I tried alcohol and pornography, but all that did was mask the pain. As a result I could not please myself, others or God. I felt like I was failing at every aspect of life.
Then, while listening to a childrens program on Christian radio I head a simple message of how God's gift of Jesus could change my life, so I accepted Jesus as my savior.
Now, while I still struggle with sin, and have had several difficult situations in my life, I know that God who loves me is fully in control and I don't have to try and make it better myself.
I've had divorce, bankruptcy, a lawsuit and a permanent injury to one of my daughters, but through it all I was able to trust that God loves me and is in control of all. I remember in the midst of preparing for a trial that came about because of my bankruptcy that I had no way to continue to pay for the legal costs. Then God acted in a way that no one could have foreseen with earthly eyes, and the suit was dropped. It was like a huge weight was lifted from me. I praised God for how he worked!
I always heard that God had a plan for my life, but until I accepted it, I did not believe it. Fortunately God did not show me all He needed to take me through. Now, though I struggle with sin, trying to take back my will, and still have troubles, I know that the God who loves and cares for me also has a plan to grow me closer to Him, and to bring me home to spend eternity in His presence.
