Passion – Her Story ♥
When i was young i had what you all would say as the typical “american” family, mom, dad, brother and dog. I went to church every sunday and was rasied in a christian home. But i never had a relationship with him. For the first 3 years of my life everything was just about perfect. Until my mom was dignosed with cancer in the spinal cord. My life was flipped upside down. For the next few years of my life my mom become weaker and weaker. During this time me, my brother, and my mom were taken away from my family from a man who claimed to be a follower of Jesus Christ. He was not. I was only around the age of 4 at this time and i did not relize all that was going on. I do now. Me and nathan were in a seperate room from my mother, and were taken care off, but even as a young kid i could sense that things were wrong. Luckly my grandparents and my dad found us and brought us back home. About a year after that my mom passed away. I can remeber that night almost perfectly. For the next 5 years of my life i lived on the weekdays at my grandparents house and the weekends at my dads. I was not longer the typical american family. At school when the other kids would be writting poems to there moms for mothers day, I would have to cross aout the mom and put grandma or aunt. I can remember ever sunday night when my dad would drop me and my brother off at my grandparents, cry for what seemed like hours wishing my dad would come back. Having to travel back and fourth from one house to the next took it toll on me. i use to have nightmares about my dad not coming back to get me, and being killed. i felt lost. The When i was 10 years old my world flipped around once again. My dad, out of no were decides to get remarried. All of a sudden i had a step-mom, step-brother, and a step-sister. i was taken away from my grandparents and in my eyes forced to live with people i did not know. i had no one wo turn to and felt like no one could help me. I was a lost and confused child. We started to attend a new chruch named cornerstone ( in highland). I HATED it. i believed that the teens there were all to cool to be my friends. They all had there own little clicks and that i fit in no were. My self estem went way down. I no longer saw myself as beutiful. i belived that if these people did not want to be my friends than there must me something wrong with me. My perspective changed when i began to listen to the lesson that were being tought each week. I noticed a passion at this chruch that was not at my other one. People were raising there hand and conecting with God. i wanted what they had. After that my mind set changed. i started to have a real relationship with God. i began to feel Gods love more than i ever did before. He opened doors for me that i never dreamed were possible. He took away bondages that i had. My life was changed. God took away my nightmares and made me see how beutiful i am. i still strugle EVERDAY with issues in my family, but i know that God will see me throw it.My life has had many up’s and down’s and still will continue to, but i know that my God will always be there for me. He can be there for you too, if u let him. He wants you to have a relationship with him.
