On December 31st I departed America to go to Iraq as a marine in the US Army.
However though, sometime 2 weeks ago i was shot in the chest.
I nearly died.
The closest organ was my heart.
The pain never ceased to exist.
As i was wheeled the the hospital, doctors worked day and night to aid me.
I was almost certain i was going to die.
But i managed to pull through.
When i was on the plane home, I realized the most important thing ever.
God had planned this.
He wanted me to live on.
From that day on, i decided i will get closer to god.
