David's Story
I'm sure a lot of people would probably in my position lie about their life but I have been a lot of bad things but a lie isn't in me (at least not at this point in my life)
After I left Riverdale Baptist School I embarked on a career in crime and spent oh about 10 years of my life in prison.
I had conflicts with God due to my being in a home where I was abused by my stepfather from age 2 to 16 when I made myself scarce from the torture. Of course I blamed God and being so young I hated everyone even me.
After leaving Prison I decided to make a change I was going to try and stay out of trouble and "Do the right thing" It wasnt easy being an x con tryn to eek out a living working in restaurants because you cant really get the good jobs.
I persevered but the past demons once again caught up to me.I used alcohol and drugs to calm them which in turn ruined a few relationships,lost my kids,lost a great job, and eventually my home,before I fin...Expand for more
ally sought help from a rehab.
Once clean and sober I had the tools to deal with my addictions but no tools for the reason I started drinking/drugging. I have been homeless and struggling with this for many years now.
Right now I get counseling to hopefully become a normal functioning person one day again. I find now that I am a lil more at peace with God and even though my life is still a struggle I continue to persevere.
I have been sober since 1998 and even though I'm still in between homes I'm starting to feel a calm in my head for the first time in my life.
God does have a plan for me I know now even though it may not be revealed to me "I know hes there" because "I'm still here" and from the road I have traveled this in itself is a miracle.
Ty for reading I know it was long but believe it or not it was consolidated as best as I could lol.
No my life hasn't been all rosy BUT Its the truth and its real.
