For a long time, I focused on my image and seeking acceptance from the wrong crowds. Over time, I became involved with drugs, shoplifting, robberies, and assault. My community was filled with negativity and darkness, and I became deeply consumed by it. I reached a point where I was close to taking my own life.
In March this year, I started going to church again on Sunday, living a double life, every other day of the week. Part of me enjoyed my sin, and I needed rescuing from the darkness of depression and substance abuse.
I was arrested for aggravated robbery on March 28th. God found me right where I was.
I recommitted my life to Christ on Easter Sunday, April 1st. My walk with God was difficult at first as the Holy Spirit revealed unhealthy habits that needed to change. During that season, I begin my walk with Him, He poured His love over me and gave me a restoration call. My parents showed me the love of Christ every day. After witnessing the transformation in my life, they chose to bond me out at the end of June.
Today, I am living a life shaped by God’s love, grace, and a restoration call. Although I still face the consequences of my past choices, I rest in the peace of knowing that God has forgiven me and continues to guide my life. I have been given a second chance, and each day I choose to walk in the light He provides. I am deeply grateful for the work God has done in my life and for the transformation He continues to bring as I commit my future fully to Him.
