So to begin im a somewhat new Christian a year ago i was saved. I grew up being told about Christ here and there went to church here and there but was never frequent. I mean my girlfriend who is a devoted Christian we were together for about a year before i decided i wanted to go to church with her and im so glad that i did it has done so many great things in my life.
About this time last year me and my mom got into a huge argument and i kinda blacked out for a week straight not remembering the things i said or did. After punching holes in all the walls and breaking things she finally called the cops. When the cops arrived she wasn’t home amd i didn’t know she had even called the cops. I walked outside thinking someone was trying to break into our house. When i walked outside i was confronted by a large man still not know who he was he told me to sit down I returen with “f*** off im not sitting down who the f*** do you think you are” and as i got the last words out of my mouth i heard his radio go off. Now I wasn’t confused i was mad instead of sitting i told him to make me so him and his partener ran up and slammed me on the ground rubbing my face into the concret. I was transported to the youth detention center around the area i live in. While there i still didn’t click and still didn’t turn to god. I argued with the counselor when she tried to explain to me who Christ was as i would do if anyone one tried to tell me about an all mighty God. I always believed there was something out there but i knew it was Christ. While sitting in the cell i had i sat there praying to whoever would listen. Then got to just talking out loud to my brother as if he was there with me as i would do on many occasions since he passed away. I begged him to show me he was here with me and give me some guidance. I was staying in cell 111 and i looked up while i was sitting in the pod one afternoon and saw there was a room 122 and was like wow thatd be awesome if i could get that room I’d know he was with me then. The next day i was moved into room 122. And with his birthday being 11/22 i was happy he was looking out for me i knew he was. I went and talked to the counselor about what had just happened and she said maybe it wasnt your brother maybe it was God just telling you he was looking out for you. After that she gave me the book the shack and told me that it may help a little. I started reading it and when i got out of YDC i decided i wanted to go to church with my girlfriend. I went to sunday school and the youth pastor ended up preaching about something that i needed to hear so i went and talked to him and he explained everything i had concerns about and told me to just take my time. Then during the service our now pastor was preaching for the first time and he also spoke of something i needed to hear then got voted in and i figured it was counceses that they both spoke of things i needed to hear. But i figured I’d give it another try Wensday and then again spoke about things i needed to hear. So i decided I’d keep going. Later on went back to court and they were telling me previously i wouldn’t get my ankle monitor off but we prayed about it and they ended up taking it off but were sill saying that they were not going to drop any of the charges so I continued to keep going to church and praying about it. I went back to court for my last court date and they told me they would drop all the charges and from that day I thought if myself as a Christian i got baptized and my life has never been better.
This is all coming from someone who just knew there was no God at least not like people say there is. And id argue all day about it. But I was so very wrong. Thank you to all who take their time to read this have a blessed day.
