My path to being saved

[honeyny22]

My path is a long one full of twists and turns, bumpy roads and a lot of mistakes. When I was growing up, I knew there was a heaven and a hell, but I didn't know how one got there and I did pray, as I can recall but I didn't think much of it. I'd like to say my parents believe in God, but truthfully as much as I have to listen to my mom (my dad died in 2004) joke about it, I don't think so. My brother and I weren't raised to believe in anything, I went to church a few times (on holidays) with other family members, but all in all, I believed I was going straight to hell when I died. I had a hard childhood, home life was fine but being around other kids and school sucked. When I was 16, I had what I believe was a near death experience, to sum it up I had a really bad asthma attack that landed me in the hospital for a week, the doctors said if I had waited another hour then I would have been dead. When I was 19 I was attacked by some guy (I got away), then a week later I was raped, then a month later I met my son's father who turned out to be extremely abusive and controlling, but he's the one who told me about God, go figure.

I ended up getting pregnant with my son, after my son was born, I asked to be saved.

I can relate to you I had a very bumpy childhood I was raised withiout God my mom is an atheist who puts on a God believing hat when it's convenient for conversation, whos been very controlling and mentally abusive of me my whole life.. My real dad walked out when I was 3 leaving me with some abandonment issues. I've had a host of near death experiences myself. In fact I would say it's been God whos been doing what was necesasry to raise me all along. To keep me from destroying myself completely. Recently within the last 2 years I accepted God and have been on a rollercoaster ever since.. Not like a topsy turvey destructive roller coaster.. more like a really intense training course on how to be a good human being. I'm not how sure you are grounded in your faith but if you need a reassurance I encourage you to read my testamonie.. I'm not gonna lie it's pretty long.. but I promise you that it's all true. Hopefully reading about my faults and failures can help you to grow.. as I honestly feel like what I've been through wasn't just for me.. I'm supposed to share the story to help others.. anyways here you go if you intersted http://www.christianforums.com/t7558016/

Faith in god first, the rest will follow. I pray that you and your son will be okay, it's not easy for single moms.

You will be saved and let the name of our father be glorified. There is a reason why you did not die in the next hour. God needs you and your son, in him there is salvation.
