Wow, it seems like yesterday my happiness left me, I was hopeless, and needy. I was indeed looking for something. At the age of 3, I can remember my father was institutionalized for paranoid schizophrenia, I thought at the time, that this was totally unfair, and hated God because of it, even through my early adult years I wondered why "God had to take away my daddy." But I realized it wasn't that it all.
I eventually realized it was often hard to let go of this connotation that God actually took my father away, but upon realizing that God didn't have anything to do with it, I then told myself "well, why do people go crazy or lose hope in life?" I thought about this for many years and all through high school, too. Even myself at times contemplating suicide. I thought to myself, well if my father went crazy then it must be a curse upon me or my family. I was thinking that the whole situation was me, I was the perpetrator, the cause for my father's insanity.
At this time I was 15, and ran away from home one night, and hid in the woods near-by. The moon was out at this time, and I began to cry, it seemed like my heart shattered into a million pieces, it seemed as though hope was now drawing to a close, and the thread and tapestry of life, as I once knew it was running then as my broken heart turned black and cold. I lost my love for my mother, who had raised me up for almost 16 years of my life, and I totally trashed the notion of Jesus, or God. In a sense you could say I was an atheist at this time, and no compassion of others.
Around this time, it was my time to go back to school for my junior year in high school, and being a very smart kid, I got accepted into a dual enrollment program that offered high school students college credit towards an AA degree. It seemed as though at this time my life had no meaning and going to school was the only activity I had, that in my eyes was fun, and enjoyable.
I’ll never forget that August day. . . I had to go to the college, to register for my classes at the time, and get everything straight for the fall semester. I still thank God, I went to school this one August day, and I will always thank God for divine appointments not coincidences. . . .so, I went to the cafeteria this morning and noticed a group of Chi Alpha members meeting in the center corner of this cafeteria. One came up to me and offered me a flyer on a Chi Alpha meeting at Wednesdays at 11am, at the time I didn't know what to do, I didn't really know who God was, or even if he dwelt inside of me. . so they said that they would call me up if I wanted to go, and give me a ride to where their meetings were supposed to be. So I accepted. From that day my life has never been . . . . PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!
Praise the almighty God, creator of Heaven and Earth, for the friends in which I met this one day, praise God for their passion for the sick, lost, hungry, and deprived of the Holy Spirit, and praise God, that they never gave up on me. I went to church with Aaron one Saturday night, and I felt a wave of warm, intense light enter throughout my entire body, I felt the Holy Spirit for the first time in my life. . . I am telling you if I were speaking to you in person, I would be jumping up and down!!! Basically to summarize things, I became more of a diligent seeker of God’s love through Jesus Christ ever since August of 2000, oh and how I thank Him for the great blessings he has brought me, such as an AWESOME love for my mother, which I NEVER had before, a beautiful home, a cat, amazing friends, and the biggie. . . . . JESUS CHRIST; Y’shua HaMosiach. . . . the Lord of Lords. . . I just praise him every day that I am involved in great ministries. Such things as Acquire the Fire, and wanting to do Teen Mania.
