Will I have shared this in the teen Guys Section but it was only part of it so i want to get the whole story out in the open so here it goes.

I was Nine years old and my two brothers, sister, and mother were going through a very hard time. My mother was going through a divorce and nearly lost everything so we were staying in her friends houses we never stayed in one place for a year. That very same year my Grandma caught us walking down a very busy road when she was taking our Granps to work and picked us up and she tried to get my mom to get her paycheck which she refused to do. All I remeber then is we were in the parking lot of her job and my Grandma called her a satan's child and drove of with us and I remember my mom's hand hitting the Car and chasing after us crying and I was to. I was only nine I really didn't remember what was going on. Me and My older brother lived with my Grandma for Four years while my sister and other brother lived with there real Dad (half bro and SIS). I remember through those four years walking with God and excepting him as my savior. It was untill it was near the end of Seventh grade when I was rabbit hunting and My grandma called my Grandps on his cell and told him that we needed to get home. When we got home my Grandma played a message on that answer machine from the home phone which turned out to be my mom and we haven't heard from her for two years. My mom got custody of us and we went back with her and that is when everything went down hill. I turned from chirst and had the mindset that my garndma hated me:mad: and I stopped seeing her. When I turned from chirst I got into a homosexuality relationship with a best friend and we went steady for three months.:mad: I was really down with myself and thought that nobody cared about me but I broke up with him and went with another guy for about 2.5 years which happened to be my very first friend when I transfered schools in 14th grade but our relationshp started around the end of 8th Grade. I latter was homeless again because my step-dad stopped paying bills but we got a house that we lost to and ended up living in the back yard of his sisters house and that is when it changed for me.

My grandma who I thought hated me decided to take me birthday shopping and It was my sixteenth birthdat and asked me to go to church the thing is I don't know what happened I just had a feeling it was perfect thing to do and I know that this was a feeling from God. I went to church for the first time in three years and she gave me this letter that said it was a turning point for me. To this very day I keep that letter with me and read it alot and It is right that day going to church was a turning point.

Today I'm a youth leader in my youth Group and I'm turning from homosexuality by the setting captives free Door of Hope course and I now have a christian GF that is my pride and joy and I now this was the work Of God.
God has also put my real father that I haven't seen for seven years and my fathers side of my family.

I Love God so much
I thank him with my whole heart for what he has done for me and will never turn away from him ever ever ever again.:) :) :thumbsup:

As believers I believe that we should always seek to tell those who are seeking about the things we have overcome. There is a site called: sharepartnersnetwork.org where people can go and submit their stories of triumpy. I encourage you to do so because they eventually post them on their site for others needing support in everything form anti-gay/lesbial abuse, drug addictions, financial hardships, depression, etc. They are currently in the process of updating stories so none are there yet, but the more people submit, the more I assume they will post.Maybe you can tell others about it because It is really a blessing and I'm sure the stories people post will continue to bless others for years to come. God Bless.
