I was broken, then God picked me up!!!
I was 12 years old, when I started sleeping around, doing drugs and drinking. By the time I was 13, I was out of control. I had huge anger problems and I would give my family such a hard time. My life just kept getting worse… I thought I was worthless and everyone was against me, so I started to cut myself to feel the pain that I was feeling inside. After a while I thought that there was nothing more to my life. One night I was so angry that my mom had to call the police because I was so out of control. Then I was put into the hospital and was diagnosed with depression. Because of all the drugs I had done, I was always hearing heaps of voices and stuff. After one month, I was released from the hospital. It didn’t last long, I tried to kill myself by taking an overdose. I came so close to death that day. I spent three more months in the hospital, was released and admitted one more time.
However, this time was different, my brother invited me to church so I went and I was touched by God. I felt things that I had never felt before, I felt love like I had never felt before. Every since that day I have been a Christian. I am constantly telling everyone I can about Jesus and his love for them. He restored my broken heart and now I am stronger than I have ever been. I am in bible college, pursuing the life that God has for me.
