Mindee’s Miracle Meal

mindeeHey you all, greetings from down south! My name is Mindee. I turned 31 in May of 2017. I would like to share my story with you. I hope you will learn from it.

In school I was a popular girl, the cheerleader, the one everyone wanted to hang out with. In college nothing changed, but everything changed! I was 5’8″, 130 pounds, I was a part-time model. I learned to sing in grade school. I loved to sing. My parents had money, quite wealthy actually. I owned a Corvette my senior year of high school. I’m bragging ain’t I? Well, don’t let all of this ‘glory’ fool you. I was depressed all my life. I was never happy inside. I tried some drugs. I got drunk from time to time. But I never was truly happy, deep down inside. Twice in my life I tried suicide. I purposely took a bottle of sleeping pills, but I woke up the next day very sick. My stomach hurt, my head hurt, I could not believe I woke up! The other attempt I won’t discuss, but it did not work.

In college I never really studied. My professor gave me good marks anyway! Basically, for me, it was a big waste of time. I was not there to learn, I was just there because I was depressed and bored with life. I often wondered why I was even born. I did not enjoy life at all.

My dad told me to trade my Corvette in for a new one. He always bought me things. He thought I’d be happy; I wasn’t. At the car dealership I met a young salesman, maybe two or three years older than me but young. He had a big smile as he greeted me. He was very polite, very friendly. The next day I picked up my new, white Corvette. The salesman, Ron, asked if he could buy me dinner. I said yes, and later that night we met at a nice, quiet lounge. Ron ordered for us. He was different from most men: nicer, caring. He thanked me for buying a car from him. He looked deep into my eyes, then he asked me what was wrong. I was stunned and confused. I asked him what he meant. Ron said, ‘I sense you are depressed and you have a heavy, unhappy heart.’ I almost stood up and left but I couldn’t! He began to tell me that God placed it on his heart to talk to me. ‘God!’ A guy asks for a date and talks about God??? My family had no connection to religion, let alone to God, yet I thought there is a God. Ron just kept talking. He told me how Jesus Christ changes people. How people who really know and trust in Christ have joy. He told me he once studied about Elvis Presley, how rich the man was yet his secret joy was knowing God and reading his Bible in private. Ron told me of all the wealthy people he had met, yet they were never really happy. The more Ron talked about Jesus Christ, the more I wanted to hear! Right there, Ron pulled out a small Bible, he turned to pages that look like they’ve been read one million times. Ron showed me the words; he spoke those words to me. The more he read, the more I wanted to hear, and the more I knew God was very real! The waiter kept coming to our table, Ron kept ordering food although we were not eating, we were just sitting there digesting the Bible’s words! Three hours and a food bill of $238 plus tax and tip later, I made Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior! I did cry as Ron read the pain Christ went through because of my sins, but I was so joyful knowing my sins were now forgiven! Ron never again asked me out, but we see each other quite often. We always smile and shout, ‘Praise the Lord!’ to each other.

I go to church now, and every day I read from my Bible. I have stood up and sang praise songs at church, but I gave up other singing. I still own my Corvette but I won’t let my dad buy me a new one. My parents think I’m kind of nuts. They do not want to hear about God. I can only pray for them.
My life changed, not only do I not take money from my parents, but I am a salesperson in a big department store. I don’t make a lot of money. I have a small apartment, and I am the happiest woman ever, since I put my faith in Jesus Christ! Depression has no part of me anymore. I have found the cure… Jesus Christ!

Okay, you guys want to know… I’m not married. I’ve not really dated either. I figure that when God sends the right guy to me, I’ll know! Until then, I just try to share what God has done for me. In 2018, I’ll be moving to Georgia or South Carolina, depending on the job offers. So if you see a ‘Mindee’ name tag, ask if it is me. I’ll be glad talk to you about Jesus! I keep a Bible on the passenger seat of my Vette too, so be prepared to hear the Good News! Jesus Christ is Freedom, Joy, and eternal Life! God bless.
