My name is Matthew. I'm only here because God saved me from myself. I killed myself many times over with drugs and crime 32 years ago. As a child I was abused by my biological mother. At age 10 ran away and was put into the system. I was 30 years old before I was released from that system. I'd been in every foster home, group home, detention home, boys school, the state had as a juvenile. As an adult I was in jail 3 times from 18 to 20. Then from 20 to 30 I was in prison. In prison there was 7 times that I know of that I was going to die. I was out numbered, cornered, no way out. But each time, a door would open, or men owing no alliance to me would make a human wall between me and my opposing force. Like the poem "Foot Prints In The Sand" there were many years where there was only one set of foot prints in my journey through life, and they weren't mine!
My life is different today. I'm a Godly man who does what he directs me to do. I counsel/mentor At Risk Teens and have for the 22 years I've been free. I lead neighborhood watch programs where I educate people on crime, criminals, how to deal with and prevent. I joined this site hoping to help others going through some of the things I have had to over come.
