My name is Tyler Williamson and I am 21 years old. I have learned a lot by this age. I was brought up in a Baptist church my whole life. My step father bought me my first bible and taught me all about it. I cherished him like my own father. I considered him to be my father. He and my mother divorced when I turned 16. We went to church every time the doors opened. We used to stay up late every night studying and talking about our opinions on different verses. Since then I have fallen out of church. I have lost my faith. I have tried to take my own life on two separate occasions. I took to drugs to find the answers I was looking for. I let so many amazing people walk out of my life due to my own ignorance. I have slowly begun to rebuild my faith after realizing that my own actions have caused me to be where I am at today. If I had to give anyone advice on growing up and coping with different difficulties in life, I would have to say this, “don’t go searching around for the solution because it’s always going to be on your knees. You will never find a better love than the love God gives us”. Most importantly remember to pray for each other every day. We all make mistakes. We all struggle with our own battles daily. I myself struggle with lustful thoughts, anger, and trying to control every situation in my life. I type this as I sit here fighting with the worst heart ache I’ve felt due to a breakup to tell you to keep hope alive. Nothing can compare to the joy that is coming. Pray for me every chance you get as I will do the same for you. I love you all and I thank you God for leading me to this forum. I have read many stories that have helped me already.
