As a young child i never really spent alot of time in church. I am in a good family and my parents are both good people. Just not the "church types" in their eyes. I was not raised up to attend church and let myself be led away from it. After i turned 16 i was given a lot more responsiblity and freedom. I had alot of problems that year. I had to have surgery and i had a dumb boyfriend who was not very nice to me. I got hurt very badly by him. I only continued downhill after we broke up. I eventually ended up with a guy last year who would yell at me and throw me up against the wall when he lost his temper with me. He got me into drinking, smoking, and even cutting. I never really had any certain event that made me freak out i just kinda went nuts one day. I was hurting and not helping myself by keeping someone aroung who made fun of me and pushed me around. I finally gave in and went to church with a friend just so she would leaeve me alone. Going to that church was one of the reasons that i am still here. My youth pastors have been soo amazing and helpful in the forgiving process and God came down into my heart one day and just showed me that it was ok.i didnt need anything else. That i was good enough being me. Alot of times people have a hard time seeing that. I know i did. God has continued to help me and has even put me in a position of leadership in my church. I can never thank Him enough for all that He does. But i will never stop trying
