"So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord..." 2 Timothy 1:8-9 NIV

Well first and most of all I want to give God all the praise for letting me share this with everyone. My life was never perfect, I was always into trouble going around hanging with the local gangs. On my journey to meeting God I was met by different task and Issues which I new I could never solve on my own.

As I was growing into my teenage years I met a young girl which I felt So much in love with. This girl of course was a true Christian along with her family, as I got to know this girl I realized that I like her a hole lot even though I knew she would never be with me. Well as time passed we eventually got together and started going out. Well as we were spending more time together she became pregnant with my child, well little did I know that me being a child myself and wanting to be in the street and not committing my self to anything not even a Job. Well as terrible as I was, can you believe that I actually told my wonderful girlfriend and fellow Christian to terminate her pregnancy. Well as her beliefs went she could not do such a thing, so you can just imagine how bad it broke her heart. 

Well now that she told her parents, which were also Christians, they were very hurt. I knew that all I wanted was the streets and my friends. For some kind reason God wanted to save me from all this misery and he entered my girlfriends heart and had her give me a second chance. She told me that If I wanted to see my child I would have to go to church with her. 

Well you would believe that I left everything behind me and went to church. I started my journey with the Lord, hey I have been a Christian now for 31/2 years now. And married that wonderful Christian girl that never gave up on me, we now share a wonderful son and a wonderful daughter who doctors said would have died in three first months of my wife's pregnancy, but you know what with God's Power it is all possible, she is now 2yr old and filling my life full of joy. I guess you can say this is a story, or maybe a testimony. But I will tell you this I have been Baptized and received the Holy Ghost and I think God is the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me and I thank my wife for that every day. 

Fellow Christians please don't give up on the Lord because he will provide, and for those new to God's world, follow your fresh heart to his Kingdom and it will be yours. God bless and may God pour Blessing upon your heart and Soul. 

Amen.
