I am 35 years old and i am from lake charles,louisiana. I have two beautiful daughters,emma and iyla. I was taken in by a youth pastor at age 15 because i was on dope and on the streets and my mother had threatened to kill me. I did good for awhile there,i felt like i finally belonged. I got saved and filled with the spirit. I was going to christian school and my whole life was centered arount the church. I had a girlfriend who i really loved a great deal. We were made to part over some silliness and i took it very hard. my school life suffered and eventually i was expelled and then the pastor told me i had to leave his home,i was devastated. I was heart broken and crushed. I moved in with an aunt and kept going to church for some time until my ex started dating the preachers son and shortly after i was asked to not come back to church there again,i blamed God and in my grief and devastation i turned to drugs and booze and violence and sex. I eventually came to hate God and even the name of Jesus would send me into a fit of rage. I ended up in prison twice,rehab a dozen times,on the streets sticking dirty needles in my arm and eating out of dumpsters. I had noone and nothing i was a Godless shell of a person. I ended up getting clean in april of 2001. I still hated ggod but after a couple years clean i softened up some. The Lord began calling me back,Praise you jesus. The devil was not done yet though. I always believed i was going to hell and so i never tried to talk to Jesus again but at some point i decided to ask a friend who had gotten saved and was on fire for God. I asked him about my salvation and he told me i was going to hell. Right then i just gave up on Jesus but he never gave up on me. I met a guy in my 12 step program and he was going to church and invited me,i went and i kept going to hear the word. I went for 2 years without ever becoming involved or talking to anyone. My heart began to ache because i could feel Christ love all over me but i believed i was doomed to hell so i never would give myself to him and his love. At some point i used drugs again for one night and the next morning i hollared out at God and said"if you are real and you love me then show me without a doubt!" i was going to kill myself after i left a note. Something inside said open the bible to any page and read,when i opened it and put my finger down i read"Nothing can separate you from the love of God." right then my heart broke and i surrendered. the enemy was still telling me i was doomed so i just said to God this simple prayer"God I know i am cursed to hell but until i die I am going to serve you and give you my life because i know you love me and if i am doomed to hell i brought it on myself." Well to make a long story short,there's no hell in my future and I love Jesus with all I am. He never quit6 loving me and no matter how low i went his love was there,Jesus Christ is alive and well in the gutters and the dope houses and in every dark and empty evil place there is no escaping the love and Glory of God. God almighty set me free.

Christians,The word of God. Christian music,especially Praise and Worship. I love serving Jesus and his people and his church. I love kids and animals,nature,online gaming,JESUS,JESUS and the Bible,the Holy Spirit. My favorite thing in life is to praise God and after that it is to see that light go on in a lost mans spirit when he realizes that Jesus is real and that Jesus loved him so much that he left his throne in heaven to become poor and die on a cross for him,to feel the love of God pour out of me into another person is amazing.
