I have heard that the first years of a persons life determines who they will be the rest of their lives. I can remember hating who I was even as a little girl living in a home where I could see no good . I had even tried killing myself when I was only 12 because I had no hope. I lived with depression as my best friend.

 Finally, I got to the age where I was able to escape my life by smoking weed, getting drunk, huffing on spray paint, and if I could afford it cocaine. I thought I was so cool and put up my fronts at school so people would be embarrassed because they didn't smoke or do drugs. I found out very quick that I could get guys attention if I would sleep with them. So that's what I did, with whoever, as long as they gave me the attention that I wanted.

I ended up by the ripe old age of 16 feeling empty and used. I thought that I could settle down with a guy who later became the father of my two daughters . We lived together for six years. I hated him and he hated me. But I kept on begging him to stay with me, until one day when I was 21 he left me in the middle of the night. Oh man I didn't know what to do. I was just like my mom I thought I couldn't live without a guy in my life.

So as soon as he left I started going to the clubs, picking up guys, and leaving my kids so I could get drunk and party out. What a miserable life! I lived with no hope and no future. Up until the day my cousin Cindy told me about Jesus who came and saved her. Man I knew what she told me had to be the truth because I could see it in her life. I knew I wanted a change. I couldn't live the same way anymore so I went to church and I want to tell you that God became real to me. That night I can remember hearing the Pastor preach and I thought he was only speaking to me. At the end of the service they asked if anyone would like to receive Jesus as there savior and I did. I cried that night because I knew that God was real I couldn't believe that he loved me but I knew that if he could love me that I wanted more.

It has been five years now and I'm still serving God. In Christ all old things pass away and you become a new creation. That's what happened to me. Praise be to Jesus! This is the first few years of my new life and I want to say I have learned a lot. There's nothing that compares to what Jesus can do to the person who lets him. I am excited to see what God has in store for me and my kids. I am just glad that I am not depressed anymore. No more smoking ,drinking, or sleeping around with anyone to make myself feel better. AMEN.
