Here it goes:
Before all of this, I knew God and loved to read the Bible, did good in school, had good grades, was basically a Good god-fearing kid, but then....When I turned 13 (Im 16 now) is when my life started to fade...My mom got fed up with my Dad manupulating, liying, fornicating, and hiding behind God all the time (not to mention he wasn't even Christian). They had been married for about 26 years and out of their love came me and my sister (who is now 26). Well my mom presents my dad with Divorce papers, my dad (who always laid a guilt trip on me) came home one day to tell me what Mom had done and had me feeling guilty in some way how it was me and my sister's fault.
Later on Dad left the house and went to stay with his brother while we stayed in the house. We eventually lost our two-story house thanks to debts my Dad owed, so we went to live in an apartment, which meant I had to change schools (Bummer.) So I felt my life was ruined until we were told we were allowed to vist our Dad...My sis and I end up visiting Dad three times because on the third time my sis (who is mentally Handicaped) revealed a long hidden secret of how he Molested her daily since she was young...So now I'm really.......well i'm messed up by now since my father was my IDOL and I always looked up to him and now to hear that he had been RAPEING my sis daily....My mom being the Good Christian she is seeked God through all our struggles thus far. She ends up pressing charges.
In the long run of things I start lashing out ( To a point where I start cussing out my Mom in the worst way possible.) I start cutting myself and becoming the stereotypical "EMO" (so i got long bangs and hair and wear black alot and cover up my cuts) Mom sends me to therapy when she finds out about this.. I attempt to kill her one time...then I atempt to kill me self. I finally get over the emo phase after months of strenuous therapy. But then another phase comes...The gangster phase.
So by this time I have made bad friends and got into a gang. I start flunking in school and making bad choices (I'm 14 and in 9th grade by this time.) I start to sell drugs and bring knives to school, I also got into many fights to the point where I would pull out a knife and cut them up. I did drugs and had sex. At one point I hit my Mom in a Wal-Mart because the found out I was stealing from the stores when a beeper went off ( It never went off before in all the times I stole from stores, I suppose maybe God was slowly turning me out of things.) and she calls the cops and has me arrested. I stay in a jail overnight, then she comes and picks me up the next morning.
I calm down a bit by now but I get sent to an Alternative school for bringing a blade to school. I get out of the Alternative school then keep doing bad.. One day my mom catches me with weed and makes me smoke 7 joints to the point where I'm sick and don't want to smoke anymore.. I stop smoking by this time but I keep selling drugs...I get caught selling drugs at an apartment near the school and get sent to prison.. spend about 1 month in prison and get out. Now I'm on probation and do alot of court trials which I end up winning (Thanks to GOD!) The school decides they don't want a bad influence like me within their walls so I get kicked outta school and sent back to the Alternative school again to finish my schooling... I end up flunking 9th grade (by this time I'm 15)
Over the summer we went to spend time with Grandpa and my uncle. I hung around my favorite cousin alot while we were there. Me and him did bad because we drunk beer and liquor all summer. My mom tells me I shouldn't drink lest I get sent to prison again for breaking my Probation.
The thought of ever going back to prison scarred me so God straightened me out alot by having me on Probation.
We end up moving to live with my Grandpa since he had heart trouble and my Mom is like the only Educated one in the family. God starts revealing himself in my life by this time and I stop doing evil in the eyes of God by the time I'm 15&1/2.
Finally all the court visits and probation are over by now.. My mom has won the battle against my father (cause the trials were LONG!!!) I end up giving my life back to God, I start going to church, My family starts to seek God, My mom is now a really holy person.... God has told us the plans he has for my mom and I (sis is still struggling with her disability).
I praise God daily, read the Bible daily, Was Blind But Now I See, Am alive again, pray to God, and preach to others .
I'm now 16 and my life is fully God's and I am so happy that I am close to God for He has NEVER LEFT MY SIDE, HAS BEEN FAITHFUL ALL THE WHILE THAT I SINNED IN HIS EYES, and oh how ALIVE I feel now, I was LOST but now I'm FOUND. I have thrown away the old wineskins and brought in the new. I am Born-again!
Hallelujah!
