| ======================================================== | | | Rheanne, Surrey, BC, Canada | | | | note: i am sorry if this is not clear or very meaningful. my memory is *very* poor and my story-telling skills are next to none.
all my life (all fifteen years of it) i had been sub-conciously searching for a filler. something to occupy this empty void inside of me.
i tried many things over the years: music, books, friends, art, a boyfriend. nothing worked.
i was raised by my christian father and atheist mother. i was never taught who christ was or what had happened to earn my salvation. i was just some kid who meant nothing to the world.
| | | | my transition from elementary school to high school was when things began to plunge. imagine if you will an airplane diving in a tailspin, with a nice inferno to accompany it.
because i did not have any friends coming with me from my old school, | | | | i had to make some new ones. my sense of judgement has never been great and i found myself among the wrong people.
| | | | i am thankful that i was not into drug abuse and sex like some of my new found peers, but i was quickly becomig a masochist, depressed, and even suicidal.
but luckily god decided that at that point it was time to intervene.
| | | | thankfully god knew just who to put in my life. my little sister, and my now-best-friend-ex-boyfriend. my sister kept me focused. i had to look out for her, and my boyfriend, unaware, helped to sow a small seed in my mind. that seed--jesus christ.
| | | | i do not recall the exact moment i accepted jesus into my life. i cannot remeber when i began to believe in him for who he was and what he had done for me. it was a very gradual climb up a hill of loose stones. actually, i am still climbing, | | | | but god has thrown a rope for me. and as i grow in christ i find my self givin a deeper sense of meaning, purpose, and hope.
praise the lord!
ps. sorry for all of the spelling and grammatical errors.
