What I am about to say is true. GOD NEEDED ME
When I was 17 years old I tried to commit suicide. My father and I were having a fight. He said something horrible, do not remember. I just know I felt there was no hope. Went to medicine cabinet and took handful of tranquelizers. Later when Mom came home, I told her I didn't want to die. My Mom was getting ready to take me to hospital, my father said " I hope they pump the living shit out of you"

Well his wish came true. The doctors and nurses were not kind. They were angry that I would throw away my life. THe next day police came and my mom told me I was to say nothing was wrong. I remember so bad I wanted to tell them the truth, but obeyed my mom. To this day I can not remember what my dad said to me to make me feel so hopeless.

But now we come to the part of why I write this. I AM SO THANK FUL THAT I DID NOT SUCCEED! Because of this, I have learned that there is always tomorrow. Light at the end of the tunnel. If I had succeeded I would not have experienced the following:

Marriage
The loss of my first child
The birth of my daughter
THe birth of my son
Graves disease
Overcoming alcohol
The rain
The sun
THe many storms in my life
The comfort of Gods Love
Accepting Christ into my heart
Learning about Love and Kindness
Meeting my biological father when I was 38(He never knew I existed)
All my friends
Poetry
Music
My Portraits
My attempts to quitting smoking
My Quit now....and all my new cyber friends

I could go on, but I think you all understand what I am saying here. I just needed to write it. You see, God needs all of us. When we are suffering, it is to help us grow. We may not like it at the time, but later we sometimes understand.

So I thank God for giving me life and forgiving me for trying to take it away.

And I thank all of you, for your kindness and warmth. THis thanks comes from the bottom of my heart to yours.

GOD be with you all.

Love, Londa

Thanks for sharing this, sounds to me, like you have come a very long way. And, yes, indeed hardships and blessings, and not really in that order. I am glad you are here today, and sometimes knowing others have gone through incredibly hard times, and they still are standing, functioning, really helps. For is shows us, the hardest of times in life, do not have to do us in, maybe as you, they strengthen us, and then we too have something to share to others who feel they cannot go on any further, they can, you did, that gives other's hope, thank you, Heidi

Londa,

Your story is touching. God is so amazing and awesome. The most awesome part is that He loves us, each one of us.
You're story reflects His deep love.

May God Continue to Bless You,
Deb

Lordy Londa,

You scared the crap out of us...since no one else said it. I am so glad to know you are doing ok. Since you have such a wonderful relationship with our higher power, would you please tell him we need you too! I really missed you, reading your posts and you singing us a song. Hope you have a blessed night.
Kay
