Memoir in Six Words

A while back I read an article about summarizing your life in 6 words. Hmmm.... There's a book called "Not Quite What I Was Planning: 6-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure." I haven't read the book, but the premise is pretty interesting. Here are some of the memoirs listed on the website:
"I'm hoping life begins at 30."
"No one's fault but my own."
"But still, my dog loves me."
"I came. I saw. I conquered."
"When did I become a grownup?"
"Peed on stick, positive. Life changed."
"Stopped planning. Now I'm finally living."
"Looked for laughter wherever I went."
"Found myself but lost my hair."
Some are sad, some just silly, some profound. I think mine would be:
"Almost died. Now live for Him."
You see, when I was 14, my emotionally disturbed stepbrother tried to kill me by stabbing me in the back with a knife while I was sleeping. But even before I really knew Him, God had a different plan for my life and didn't allow it to be snuffed out at a young age. I am so grateful.
What would your 6-word memoir say? I'd love to hear.
