Testimony:
I started my life at church like alot of young kids at sunday school as I was
raised by a loving christian family and church was a normal thing for me then,
I always went with my parents as it was compulsory. Then when i hit 15 they set
me free and said it was my choice to go or not now, thats when it started going
wrong.
Anyway my life was the same as most essex street boys and it revolved around sex,
drugs and crime. For years I was caught in a never-ending cycle of violence and
hatred and illegal activities because of it. Then I slipped up and blew up a load
of cars in my town. I was caught by the police of course and straight away was
looking at a long 5 year term in jail. Right then my life flipped upside down and
I didn't know what was going to happen to me. It was right before my GCSE's so I
would have missed them, got no grades and missed college and come out at like 22
with nothing to show for my life. Then, out of the blue all charges were dropped
during my mock exams and I was allowed to walk away from it all with no punishment
and no record. That was obviously God in my life, he was like "I've had enough of
watching you screw your own life up, I have put you through what the consequences
would be to you and made you really think about what you have been doing...now,
this is me giving you a second chance...I saw how you felt sorry for what you had
done and took another look at your life.....don't mess it up as I love you and want
you in my kingdom of heaven!"
That is my take on it and from then on my life revolves around my saviour Jesus
Christ. God spontaneously at one of the festivals at the front told me to write
down on a post-it note "spread the word to to my youth" so that is what I do. Get
others like me to find out about God and to help them not follow the path I did
and do things that will hurt God and themselves.
I hang around with a totally different group of people and look on at my old mates
with pity as they continue the crime and stupidity that i managed to leave. I have
to admit I am still not perfect as I like to go to the pub and drink whilst
socialising with freinds...and yes i do get drunk some weekends unfortunately, but
i don't let it affect my worship of my lord and I try not to dwell on it. I still
smoke after I started in those days when I was with the wrong crowd, its like a
scar I cant remove no-matter how much I try, but I know that one day I will have
the will power to leave that behind too like everything else.
