Where should I start? Before I was saved my life was, and still is, messed up. My self-esteem was low and I was hurt by the people I considered "friends." I chose the wrong people to be my friends, but when your in a public school thats the only people you can trust. I was such a follower of the world. During my years of elementary, I sometimes considered commiting suicide. I thought my life was worthless. I mean, I was backstabbed by my best friend, what else was left? My closest, best friend backstabbed me. Oh, I was also living the life of a "Christian." I acted one way in church, and different in school. It was so two faced. I started going to Youth Group in grade 7(or 8 I don't remember). Which was really cool. Then I graduated, went to PCVS in grade 9. While there I seriously considered taking drugs...stupid thing, I know. I really wanted to be accepted by the "cool" people. Before I could though, God was looking out for me. I was at a Bible study, with my old yg, and we were doing a study about Job. It just totally amazed me how Job, through all the ordeals he went through, he was still praising God. That really got to me. I thought that there must be someone greater to rely on, to get help from. I went home and gave my life the Christ on September 14 2000. My life has changed so drastically, I still have low self esteem, and have a hard time trusting people. But God is helping me work through that. Through all the scars, and pain. He is there, He was always there, I just never looked. God is awesome. He has blessed me with the greatest friends I have ever had, or could ever get. They have helped me through a lot. But the One thats been there for me day in, day out, 24/7 has been and always will be God. He is my comforter during troubled times, my energy when I feel I have no strength left, and my loving Saviour who has died for such a wretched creature like myself, and given me a new life. |
