The Holy Spirit informed me through my wife that our lives are open books to people. Because when people read our life story they will see how much God loves us and the amazing miracles He still does. Well as far back as I can remember I always liked church even when I didn't want to go I enjoyed being there. I knew of God but didn't have a relationship with Him. I have done many terrible things in my life and even would talk down to other people to make myself feel better. At the age of 3 I was taken away from my home by a neighbor, sctatched up and left in the middle of a pretty busy street with a firetruck coming right at me. God spared my life. In high school I was skipping school in a car with 5 other drunk people speeding around a curve. The car went off the road and was heading for a pole and if not the pole right into a logoon. The car hit the pole but not head on so we were headed for the lagoon, and it stopped all of a sudden. I was in a gang and got caught with four of my so called friends and got jumped by about 15 guys. There was no shots fired and no knives drawn (mind you I grew up in Gary, IN the murder capitol of the USA at that time). One of the other gang members recognized me, knowing who my cousins and uncles were and called his gang off. God was looking out for me again. I was sitting on my bike outside the skating ring when a bullet from out of no where hit me in the shoulder. Again God was looking out for me. Through out my teen years I was around a buch of bad influences yet God had a hedge around me to spare my Life and kept me healthy. When I moved away to another state I ran into my wife whom I knew since I was 13 years old and have been with her every since, It was not all peaches and cream because I got more heavy into drugs and chasing women. Not caring about nothing but my own feelings and what I wanted, I was still selfish. Yet through all this time God was protecting me. I was introduced to porn at a young age and spent so much of my life living with that addition to women, porn, and drugs. Yet God still loved me and had a plan for my life. We were very poor and lived on Walfare in our early years as a family with 4 kids before i was 24. I wasn't a good provider for my family. I worked here and there, spent a lot of money on weed and cocaine. Then one day I did crack on weed and things went south fast. Through all this God was still with me even when i wasn't with Him. One day I spen my eletric bill on crack and weed and sent my wife over the edge. And I went to jail for an old warrant that wasnt a real warrant. I was arrested for child support. Now the funny thing is I was already married to my kids mom and had been for about 5 or 6 years. The courts had never filed that in our case files. God works in strange ways. After coming out of jail I got high again but this time I was tired. I told God if He didn't deliver me this day He would never have me as His. So God delivered me that day but it didn't last. A few years later my wife and I both were Crack addicts. And we were the worse kind. We both had carrers and made Good money. Took care of all our bills but used the extra money to get high on. This was after a big fall from God when we recevied no support from the church we put so much of our work and life into. It was like a dead end and we just walked away with scars from the church.
This will continue on a nother day stay tuned it gets better I promise.
