If I could tell you anything it would be this. Over the past decade i have composed recognizable thoughts and suggestions to how certain things are taken into the depths of ones mind. You see I have been to the brink of insanity into suicide and back. I know what you are thinking so lets just get directly to the point.

I will tell you this I grew up hard. Let me give you a brief example; My father and mother were addicted to various drugs, I.e cocaine, heroin, crack, zanax, and probably what ever else you could imagine. My dad abused my mom, my brothers, and myself. As a child and into most of my adult life I feared that one or all of us would not make it out of there alive. I often thought I had it the worst, now looking back I was so wrong. You see even though I loved them so and there was a great deal of pain I got out of there without contracting Hep.C and I am not a nine time felon. Which describes one or both of my siblings. My Dad gave my eleven year old brother his first shot of heroin about the time my 19 yr old brother got his first dose. You see I had just left home so luckily I missed out on Drugs One 0 one.

Sorry i need to get to the point, I have recovered so much from my past I am no longer a mental case who thinks suicide is the only way. I Had to realize there was more than me in this world but that I loved myself war wounds and all. I only could have done that with Gods help. You see a miraculous thing happened to me. God pulled all of that wreckage right out of my heart and filled it with his big bright warm generous love. I know now that you have to have God fighting your battles with you.

If I could ever give you one piece of advice it would be to start living. I mean get up everyday say thank you and think positive, know that with God by your side that you will get every thing you need. Be patient Gods on time. He will deliver right when you are about to give up so don't think about giving up, know you are about to be blessed.
