Well let me start of by saying that im very blessed to have grown up in a very active christian family.With one younger brother and one younger sister. I moved all the time, about every 2 to 3 years ,so i moved alot lol.When i was living in Mississippi my mom took me to our preacher at the time.He talked to me about Jesus and stuff.i already knew about it all.Its just i didnt feel God tugging at my heart yet.I believed in Him,but just hadent asked Him to be my savior.Well throughout the whole hour i spent with the preacher ,he finally asked me if id like to ask God into my heart.Unforunatly i said no.I had not felt as though i was ready for it.Anyways the preacher told my mom not to worry that probably within a year or so i would do it.Well i moved to albany,Georgia that following year.I had a new friend id spend the nite at and we were talkin about God and stuff and she was like well have you ever asked God into your heart.And I said no .She was like o my gosh why not,its the best thing ever ! And all I could respond with was I wasnt sure.The next nite I was laying in my bed thinking about what my friend had said .And then and there I felt God tugging on my heart ,thats when I decided I needed him.I remember the next morning in church with the biggest smile telling everyone my descion id made.God has truly changed my life.It really an amazing feeling.God has done so much in my life.He has brought me the best friends and family.And has taught me so much !God has truly blessed my life in so many ways.Ive been going through alotta stuff since i was 9.When i was 9 my mom got hurt really bad when she broke her tailbone she is a rare case where they cant fix her and she cant really do anything and then she has a stomach disease .She almost died when i was 10.My mom stayed in bed for 6 years.So in those years i took care of my sister and brother alot!!And then my dad started getting into drugs.It was horrible .my mom finally got to the point where she is now capable of doing alottta of things ,God has really blessed her.My dad who ended up loosing his job twice is getting alot better.And my parents are divorced now.Those times i can say i was truly the closest with God i mean its one thing being a teenager and just tryin to live life as one and another its a horrible thing to see your dad on drugs and nothing you can do about it.But God definatly got me through it ,and with the support of my friends.But through all that He taught me resposibilty and showed me what things can do to you.The last thing I wanna say is God has truly made me a better person and blessed me so much.And that He can get you through anything.
