I remember when god starting knocking at my door or I remember when I started to notice God. I was living wherever I could to support my drug and drinking habbit and my habbit of not having a job just living for what I thought was life. I moved into this appartment in town with two others and the appartment block had about 24 apartments in total. There were three flats that would hang out all the time and get high or drunk go into town etc. For some reason a flat of guys downstairs in particular one would always say hi to me and start conversation just a really nice guy. Then he started giving me flyers about Jesus I didnt really take much notice nothing sparked inside I still talked with him and I did feel that if I was in trouble he would look out for me anyhow from then on I would walk down the street and come across a flyer on the pavement or here the word god or jesus in passing and then I was sitting the town square with friend smoking a cigarette and listening well making fun of between our selves this mad preecher with his ladder and giant cross and at a single moment I made eye contact with him and he instantly came up to me and said God wants you and then turned to my friend and said stop the witchcraft which at that time in her life she was experimenting with voodoo dolls so you can imagine we were both blown away. From that day I pondered the idea of god but it wasnt long before I was back to the drinking etc. I continued on this path for a few more years. In 2000 moved into a house with 12 one bedroom apartments and I got to know a man who ran healing and psychic classes so every second night I would go to his house along with others and get trained after a year or so I was training others and giving readings and healings and talking with my "guides" If I had a problem I would go to my teacher I was still using drugs at this time also mainly acid and was getting very lost out of touch with reality and my teacher said it was normal in my line of work. While living there I met a boy and we moved in together we lived together for nearly 2 years I got him involed in what I was doing but he didnt get into it like I did anyhow one week he went home for a holiday and I stayed behind and when he came back he sat me down and told me he had become a christian and well I told him he was mad what are you talking about. He told me he was always bought up with an understanding of God and his mother was christian and when he was down there he told his mum what he had been doing and he said he laid in bed and talked with god and cryed and gave his life to Jesus. I didnt understand him so we debated for about 3 weeks who was right something it me sparked for starters I couldnt seem to win any debates he just made more sense and I started to feel this feeling I had never felt and my boyfriend said thats the holy spirit and I decided that I would go to church I thought to proove him wrong but also this feeling I liked it and I had felt many spiritual forces before but not like this so it was a winter night and we walked to church we picked a youth church in the heart of the city I was really nervous and anxious when we got there I walked through the doors and I instantly felt this peace I felt so relaxed we took a seat and the worship began and I just cryed I was trying to hide my tears but they were streaming out at that point I knew that Jesus was real I knew it in my whole entire body. From that day the desire for drinking and drugs was removed two weeks later me and my partner moved out of that house and I told my teacher I was not interested in what he was teaching I am a christian now from then on my life well we all know got turned upside down I was given a real life. Me an my partner broke up soon after but are still really good freinds it was not gods will for us to be in that way. I have know been a christian for 3 years and God is the ulimate number one in my life.
