My story is based on the ups and downs and ups again of Anthony (Godsoldier-1) And the life I had led and whare it had led me. Well to get started, I grew up in a Cathlic background with my Grandfather, Grandmother, Mother and Sister. My Parents were devoriced when I was 4 or 5 yrs of age. My Grandfather took the place of my Father and tought me all that a good Father teaches his son. My Mother was Injered when she was 10 yrs old. Today she still has the mind of a 10 yr old. I grew up with music all around me. My Grandfather and Mother played for the old time Fiddlers for quit a few Yrs. That is where my Talent came from. I remember sitting at home having Jam Seasons with the whole Family in our Living room. Well to get on with my life. I went to Holy Family Church every Sunday. My Family even today never stopped praying for me. At the age of around 14, I started Exp with drugs and alc, Just to fit in with the Cool Kids. Never thinking about where that would led me Later down the road. One thing led to another and soon I was getting well knowen for my activeaties in the drug world. Started useing first then selling all kinds of drugs then Finily Transporting from state to state. Which led me to My life style of addiction, Gangs, Hookers, and any thing else I could make a buck on. ( most of the time I lost out) I have been Married and dev, 2x, I remember due to my parting style that their were times I would not show up at home for 1 to 2 weeks at a time having my Family worry if I was dead or alive. That is the way my life went for 30 yrs. Same ruteen day after day. My addiction of life progressed so bad that in 2001 I wound up living on Skid- Roe in La Calf. Where their was no responceablity except getting loaded 24/7. I had lost all, My Job, Car, Family, Friends, Respect for myself. for the 9 months I did nothing but get loaded all the time, Rob ,cheat, Steel, beg, and eat out of dumpsters. I first got to the nichel (Skid roe) In a nice tent, found a spot to set up camp and the party started Big time. Then I sold my tent for 5;00 to get my Hit.(Crack) In 2002 I checked my self into my first out of 7 rehabs, Simpley to get something good to eat and a SAFE place to Sleep. From one rehab to another I ran Once or twice using inbetween. The funny thing about that, my Lord was teaching me about why I was the way I was THEN. I thank him every day for opening a new and Awesome door for me. Today I thank my Lord through my Massages in my music, Hopefully to share with others, that what ever you have done in the past, HE IS ALWAYS THEIR WATCHING AND WAITING. I sould not be here now. But my God has a plan for me because I totaley Believe in him. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Walking with God by your side is so Awesome. Blessings to all of my new Friends that feel the same. Anthony (Godsoldier-1)
