Early Years Continued

So as i sit here on a cool sunday afternoon pondering my life and what to share about to the world, I have thought about what led me to be isolated.

I grew up in a single parent home as the product of something I havent really being told alot about by my mum, but it was like so many other families you see in the world, it was out of wedlock. I hold nothing against my parents as in life im sure we have alot of things we do that we may or may not regret. But back to my life, I spent alot of time at home around the house during my school years, this was somewhat to do with my mum being a bit overprotective of me as I was her one and only.

Due to this not really mixing with alot people, i spent time making my own entertainment, whether it be watching tv or playing out in the back yard. All of these factors probably contributed to my isolation and not mixing well when I was at school.

So as i said in my last entry, i used to get bullied and stuff at school and i stayed quite timid and shy throughout my school years. I did however have one thing going good in my life and that was due to my mums faith in God. She would take me most weeks to the local church, it was a pentecostal church and it grounded me well for life and what would happen in the future.

I attended church services pretty much for as long as i can remember right from when i was quite small. My mum used to tell me how i would be in church as a toddler and i would raise my hands and say praise the Lord. So i would definately say my life has always had God as a constant throughout.

Going through my school years as a target for bullies, I dont think i would have remained as positive about life if i didnt have the grounding I had in church. I remained faithful all through my primary school years in going to church but still I didnt make alot of friends and stayed pretty quiet and in my shell.

So that brings me up to the end of primary school around the age of 12. If at any time you are reading my entries and you have questions feel free to comment. I do hope that as i continue I am able to bring courage to you the reader
