bd180's 1988 Mazda RX7 GTU

Well, here's my story.
As soon as I got out of Junior High, I decided that I didn't want to go to church anymore. My family was always the "Sunday Christians" so I really didn't know much about God or Jesus. My parents got divorced when I was a senior and that's when I hated God for everything. It finally got to the point where I was living at my friends house and sometimes sleeping in my car. My sister (Nina) invited me back to the church one day. I went because there were a few friends I knew from work there and I heard from one of them that there were a lot of Girls there. So I went, and I got to meet a lot of people there, over a few weeks. I kept on going and I didn't know what to do. I felt as if I needed to give it all to God, but I didn't know how to. I felt as if I hit the rock bottom and didn't want to live with my friend or family anymore. I told God that I was sorry and told him to take it all away. I knew that he died on the cross but I didn't really know what that would have been like. Then I thought of all the Sin he had to bare...because of me.
Now, I wasn't a crying man. I only cried when I had open surgery on my feet, but it wasn't much. When I gave it all to God, I was balling for hours, days really. He finally spoke to me like he did when I was a child. It felt like it has been forever since I've heard his voice. He told me to let him take care of me and to follow him. I guess that's when I really gave my heart to the lord.
Now comes the good part. There was a family that always hung out together and they were part of the youth group. I also learned that there was other kids that hung out with them, and lived there. The mom and dad saw how lost I was and took me in. They had a spare couch in the basement. As long as I cleaned up my own mess, and pitched in with the cleaning, I could stay there. It was great. This family never watched TV, they played games all the time, and there was always at least 15 kids in the house every day. We got to hang out, go swimming, play games, and everything all summer. I finally got another Job working at a Mazda dealership, then got my own place. I talked with God everyday, and read the word as much as I could (I hated reading). Then I met my wife.
I am finally obsessed with the Word and can't get enough of it. I wish my parents would have taught me a lot more of what I'm learning now, especially after growing up in a public school where they teach evolution and other junk. LOL. I don't get how they think the earth and everything was just chance. It doesn't make any sence.
Anyways, life is great now. I'm married, have 2 nice cars, 1 dog, nice house, and a baby on the way. God has blessed me up the Wazoo and I love him so much for that. I don't deserve any of it, but I know this much- I'll be able to raise my children being a Man of God. I don't know where I'd be today if I didn't go back to him.
