Well during my childhood i did go to church somewhat but no one took teh time really explain much and i didnt stay around for long. There was a time in my life where my mom was imprison and my dad raised us on his own with help from our grandparents for awhile and thast where i learn more about God and Christ. As i grew older i fell in self pitty that my life was bad and depressing and the normal things the devil will taunt us with to bring us down. Thats when i turn away from my religion and now that i look back that was probably the lonliest time in my life. Now i understand that Christ was allways with me for iits i that moved away because God will allways be there for you. One day Christ touched my heart that it was time for me to come back and i felt spirtualy exhausted from trying to do things on my own and it was time for me to go back home. I started talking to some friends of mine who were Christians and started going to chruch with them and learning more. I have gave m yherat back to the lord and repented for leaving with it for my heart was not mine to leave with because it belongs to him. I now have a chruch i go to and i attend their small groups and bible studies and also the pastor sometimes ask me to speak to teh youth who are going throu things that i have in the past. By becoming a Christian it seems that some in my family and people who once were friends of mine decided to attack me and my religion, seeing if they chould lead me astray again. I made that mistake once and i wont again because i accepted Jesus in m yheart as my savior and i will never close my heart to him and his word again. Whenever people do argrue with me over where i stand with being a christian i just remember his teachings and not get angerd or argrue like i use to for its not them to judge if i am a christian or not. Also when they try to argrue how Christianity is wrong i allways will talk to them and show them throu scriptures how they are wrong. Because the words of Christ in Mathew 10:32-33 says "Whoever acknowledge me before men, i will also acknowledge infront of my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before men. I will disown him before my father in heaven" So these words allways help me to spread his word when i am faced by these people wanting to lead me astray.
