remember the first time i fell to my knees and began to pray. it was a quarter till 9 on the morning 
of the 23rd day in the month of may.i was in a room alone my heart pounding my hands shaking. i 
turned to god and gave him my word that i would start giving and stop taking. i can say for certain 
that time had become still. i took responsibility for all i had done, and i realized that this must be 
love i feel.how had i gone through life without knowing how to love.then time began again and the 
door opened, i stood up and put everything in the hands of the man above.i still cant remember a 
single sound, it was as if i could only hear my heart speaking out i found my way to a room so 
bright, and their was your mother with a smile that took away all doubt.their isnt a word to 
describe what you gave me that day. all i can say is thank you for saving me with your gift of love, 
and showing me how to pray.
