ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Iwould like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my wife for her unwavering support throughout the entire process of writing this second book. She has been an immense help and has played a crucial role in my personal growth. I also want to thank my children for always believing in me. Life hasn't been easy, but I have learned the importance of surrounding myself with people who encourage progress and help me reach my goals. In times when life throws curveballs, having the right support system makes all the difference. I am especially grateful for placing God at the center of everything. I extend my thanks to my pastors for being there for us and for their unwavering belief in us as we walk on God's path. I hope and pray that those who relate to my story understand that it is never too late to rise and let God take control. Lastly, I want to express my deep appreciation to my parents, Julio Mejia and Zelandia Mauricio, for being with me through all the hardships, ups, and downs. They are a significant part of my testimony, and I will always cherish and love them.
To protect privacy, the names of all individuals mentioned in my testimony have been changed to avoid any form of recognition.

WHEN READING THIS BOOK written by my husband, Tony Mejía, in each chapter you will find a lived testimony. From the depths of his heart, he wanted to share with each one of you very personal experiences that marked his life in one way or another. Tony shares different experiences or stages of his life away from God and the process of reconciliation. In his journey of having drifted away from God at one point in his life, he experienced fear, hopelessness, discouragement, doubt, among other things, reaching a point where he grew tired of living an empty life and decided to surrender his heart to God once again. Since that moment, God has brought joy, peace, happiness, and, above all, the promise of eternal life into his life. Living for God is a calling to live a life full of love, compassion, and acceptance for others. I know many will be able to identify themselves when reading this powerful testimony. Tony wants us to know that no matter how many times you fall, you can always get back up. God awaits you with open arms to restore you.

My life has undergone a remarkable transformation for the better. Since deepening my relationship with God, I have experienced a profound sense of fulfillment. Everything in Florida seems different now that I have surrendered my life to Christ. I have left behind my former habits of drinking, drug use, and selfish living, and now strive to live according to God's will. My greatest desire is to be in God's presence, and as I reflect on my journey, I am reminded of my grandmother's wise teachings. She would often speak to me about the importance of fasting, praying, reading God's word, and humbling oneself before Him. These practices have helped me to stay connected to God and to embrace a spiritual way of life. I truly feel like a brand-new person.
One passage that resonates with me is 2 Corinthians 5:16–17, which states, So if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!
Sometimes, this verse may be incorrectly understood as focusing solely on individual believers being made new in Christ. However, it is important to also consider Romans 12:2, where we are reminded not to conform to the patterns of this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Through this transformation, we can discern God's will and live in a manner that is good, acceptable, and perfect.
Another impactful passage is found in John 3:1-8, where Jesus engages in a conversation with Nicodemus. In this discussion, Jesus emphasizes the need for spiritual rebirth to enter the kingdom of God. Jesus explains that being born again involves being born of both water and the Spirit. Just as something born
