It was during this time when God really started to break my hard, self-righteous
and arrogant heart from dry, hard dirt into soft. moist soil. By
doing so, I was sent to the ER one evening during a double shift at work.
I had suffered a 3rd degree grease burn to my dominant hand, wrist and
arm. Through this accident, I was sent into a spiral of emotions, deep
depression and anxiety. I lost all hope in my determinations to be someone
successful. I gave up on trusting my arrogant and self-righteous self and
just lived life as it came.
A few months had gone by and as I was recovering from my skin graft
with physical therapy, I received a phone call. It was my sushi instructor;
he had wanted to see how I was doing and if was interested in attending
church. At this time, I had moved back home to San Jose, CA and I told
him, I was interested and that Sunday I attended morning service. A few
weeks had past and the Gospel began to take root into heart. It was here.
where I heard something that sounded so true to my heart.
As God led His servants, I felt every word preached was spoken directly
