Well, my mom and I lived with my great-grandparents til I was 5, most of PEI is Roman Catholic, so when I thought of "church" I thought of Catholic church and confessing your sins to some creepy guy etc. I used to be forced to go as a kid with my great grandmother.
Well mom and I were never Church people, not even close. And she met my stepdad when I was in gr 1 and they were both alcholics and drug addicts (mostly just pot) most of my family is like that. So I grew up thinking its okay to drink and smoke pot, and pornography and stuff was also alright, cause it's just a human body right? Ha I wish never knew that stuff.
Well times passed and things were ok I guess, we had a place to live and what not food and everything. But my parents partied every weekend. And we always faught up until gr 11. In gr 10 my grandparents split up and I became depressed and thought about suicide a couple times, went to psychiatrist and was on anti depressants, almost dropped out of school. I kind of got back on track in the summer of gr 11, and then got back on track in grade 12.
I knew what I wanted to do with my life, and everything. I used to drink, but last summer I stopped, I just didn't want to anymore (I started drinking and smoked pot a few times at 16) I used to get high with my grandfather and my aunt and uncles and my step brother. It's pretty normal around here. I used to sit in the room with my parents while they smoked pot too, they told me they only did thatbut I knew they were doing other stuff, and I think they were doing other things too that were really affecting their marriage. Anyways. My great aunt(who was like a second mom to me) she passed away in November at the age of like 41, I think, she was too young, she died of cancer. Well that hit hard, and I thought I was depressed again cause there was a bunch of other things going on too with her husband and my grandfather.
Then I started thinking, what if there is heaven and hell? Where do I want to go? Well I had seen the things God was doing in my aunt and uncles lives. That got me thinking too. Well In December I did a Bible Study with them about Salvation. And I remember praying one night. God lead me on the path you want me to live. Then I seen fireproof and that hit me too.
After new years eve after drinking and stuff, I went to Church a few days later for the first time. And have been going ever since. I Love God, and am going through some struggles right now with self-gratification, but God will set me free and it will only add to my testimony.
God Bless
