Reflection

A wonderful event in my life that brought change to my life was a retreat. This event was held in the mountains at Big Bear city I learned to forget about my past. Before this retreat I was lost I did'nt respect my family or the world. Then I saw God in a way that changed my way of thinking I matured and learned to respect others to be respected. I was walked trough various obstacle that should me God's way. Doing good was'nt a bad thing for me anymore. That was one of my biggest fear when I would be around my friends. As a result of all the good I learned leaving my friends was for the best. Thanks to God I'm now a changed man I never thought changing would make me as happy as I am know.
