I must say that when ever i meet people here in Goa who know my hubby, they say that I have changed his life. I don't know much about the past but I know that he used to be very bad child and everyone was like scared of him because he would pounce on anyone. he had habit of drinking and doing all crap which the youngsters today do. His father was always abroad working there and mother could not control any of the three children.
The first time i met him he was was miserable but he then said he wants to change and he needs someone like me. I was different from other girls he has met in his life, he used to tell me. I always wanted to be with a guy to whose life I could change. I used to pray so much and I felt pity for him how miserable he was. I wanted to help. I have never left him thought we went through thick and thin.
I believe people change and if they get right people to support them. Today he is a changed human being. I am glad that God has used me to change someone's life. I had always believed that God has a plan and a purpose for me and is going to use me i a mighty way. I have got the answer. this was the purpose..
Have you made an impact on anyone's life? How has God used you to change someone's life??
Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

No. I don't think Anyone can change unless they want to change themselves. Your hubby Wanted to change and you wanted him to change so it worked. If I met him I would assume he would always be the way he was. I'm no angel. I don't think G-d even knows me so I always just accept people as is. If they are bad when we meet that is the way I assume they will Always be. And G-d help the person who wants to change me! It will not happen.

I think that it is wonderful Hubby wanted to change and got to change. Me? I'm the same vengeful person I have always been. Many see me one way and I'm the complete opposite. That is why I would Never try to change anyone. Many Want to change me and I rather die.So until someone Says he/she wants to change, I assume they are happy as is like me.

Oh very well. for those who believe there is God and those who don't, he is not there. you are right when people want to change then it is possible and if they do not want to change it is it can never happen. I helped hubby because he wanted to.. I don't see only you who think that those who are how you meet them, will stay like that forever but many people think that way. I don't know but I always see room for change every time. I think it is possible and things will change. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead

I think that's why we are all born. it's our life's purpose to change the lives of others. To touch other people with our love and understanding. A smile can change how someone's day goes, and somethings thats enough. Then you have those moments where you can really impact someone's life like you did with your husband

Thanks for sharing this lovely story 
I can't remember how many life ever changed because of me.
I cannot recall how it happened and where it started.
But I knew I've done it the past- but it's a closed book and it's gone with the wind.
It's always good when we've done something good to anyone.
It's worth reminiscing every single detail of it.

I am sure you have changed someone's life cos you are a good human being. I have not met you but one can understand from what we write here after so many discussions because for the thought of the mind the mouth speaks. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

You are surely a good woman and your husband loves you so much that he decided to change his life for you. That's really a great sacrifice on his part. He's lucky to have you and you're likewise having been used by God as an instrument to change someone's life.

I can confidently say that I have changed my husband's life. I'm sure because he said so. 
His family also think that I have a good influence on him. They said that he's more inspired now and he isn't as gloomy as before. My husband suffered from a heartbreak that he refused to be "alive" for years. But we're happy now and that's what matters.

That is so nice and you will be blessed for saving a life and yes being happy is what matters. My husband was heartbroken and then he had become a player like and did not believe in love. today he is a loyal person and has realized that god has sent me for him. Only his smoking habit is left and i am sure with prayers it will also go. 
..another thing I am trying to get him out of his horrible childhood which he says he was tortured by his parents and he has that grudge and is not in good terms with the parents. It will take time but time will heal everything. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

I think that is great. I think that sounds like a love story. I think that I have changed some people's lives that I have taken care of their children. I also think that I have changed my husbands life as well. He never thought that he would get married or have children and he now has both and is happier than he ever thought he would be in love. I have also been changed by him because I know that I can love as much as I can because I love him with all of me.

I'm glad that you turned a typical bad boy to the better one. And I admit that one person's personality could effect on others, this story tells us that u r a girl with better disposition which can make people do things proactively. I had done something like urs before and I was happy about that, but I also got an experience that if somebody is not changed automatically, don't try to sway him/her and push them because that won't work.

God is great and Greatly to be praised. It is good to be kind to others it helps you also to know you have done what you can. a smile and kind words go along way.
If you plant the seed (the Word) it will grow. (water it everyday). I had hoped to have help a lady in the hospital who was in much pain. I knew her not only by a visit to another person she seen me there and she asked me to pray for her.. I asked her to believe God and that he can do mighty things and does not change, She said she did and we both prayed together and she was comfortable when I left. I had not heard from her again or seen her. I hope she was saved and that she became strong in her faith. I always wanted to help others but I wanted it to be God's way not people's way for what people do does not last but what God does last a long time. God Bless...

Your husband is sure lucky to have found you. God made you an instrument to make your husband become a better person. I am sure your husband must be so happy having you as his wife.

Still now I do not change any one completely but I am quite sure that I had changed some of the wrong attitudes of my friends and my friends had done the same to me. I and my friends openly point out what is wrong in our doings and we just try to correct it and strictly make sure that not to do them again.

I think I have many years ago. I remember a woman I talked to said I had really helped her a lot. She had problems. I don't remember what they were. And there may have been others. But riyauro, you are so, so, ...I can't even think of the word. You have changed your husband's life and made it so much better because of your presence. How wonderful for you both. You are truly a remarkable person. I've watched as your English has gotten better (it wasn't bad to begin with) and your typing has improved. Ever since you started on mylot. You have changed and grown too, it seems. You've become a solid part of mylot and are an inspiration to newbies as well as others. And you share your life with us. Your singing and your restaurant, your hopes and dreams. I always look for discussions started by you. I don't always respond but I read them. Thank you for sharing. And have a wonderful day!

Great testimony, thanks for sharing :)
I haven't had anyone directly tell me that I've changed their lives. But I have many people who have told me that I helped them in ways they didn't get from even their own family or closest friends. So I take that to mean that, yes, I at least made a difference (a good one) in their lives.

Hi riyauro, your life's story is so inspiring. I think he loves you so much so he's open to change himself. The good thing is that it is for the better him.
I am not really sure if I have changed someone's life. When I came to think of it, I don't know if I changed someone for the better or for the worse

I believe that everything we do will make an impact to us and to everybody that we may encounter. And that is really our purpose in life. I admit, I have been too loose on money, spend my money to anything without saving. I'm glad I met my wife, she introduced me to give value on hard earned money. In that, I focus myself more on personal goals, that is to have a direction. Just to pay if forward, I introduce this to my colleagues, and thank God, we are having our own money pool, invest it to worthwhile stuff. Thanks and Good luck to all of us.

I would like to congratulate you for what you did.
Rather than I changing someone's life, I would actually like some who can change my life right now. My life is just not coming on track.

I haven't but I did helped them changed it. I am a youth leader of my small church and being such, I'm more into talking, encouraging and helping these youth to change themselves into better persons.
Being the youth leader I have learned to love even the most unlovable youth during my time. There was actually two teenagers that I helped. I shelter them, give them food, disciple'd them. helped them to go back to school.
It was very hard but praise God one of them graduated from high school, the other went back home to her family. Now that they are on their own, they seems did not live a life the way I want it to be but at least they're better person now and can stand on their own.
Just continue to do good! It is said in God's Word that "we reap what we sow". So let's keep sowing good seeds that we may reap good fruit.
Happy mylotting to you. :)
