I didn’t know what I was going to do. I was stuck trying to figure out what I was going to do in my life,” Fite said. “I was going to leave or come back, and God just spoke to me and told me what I needed to do in my life.”He said that as many people were talking to him and giving input, it was like the enemy was trying to confuse him.”Once I isolated myself and spent time with God, talked to God and talked to my wise counselors, I realized what the best decision was for me,” Fite said. “It was clear to come back, so I need to live my life like a hard worker because I’m back. I’m not hiding from what some people might try to hide from, but I tell everybody that every day I’m here is reassurance that I made the right decision for my life. So it’s a blessing that I’m here, and I’m so glad that I’m here.”
