I did read the Bible a few times while incarcerated, but none of what I read hit home yet. I get out at age twenty-one and lasted three months before my next arrest. I spent a few months in county jail and was right back out. I made it six months of partying and using before parole picks me up again. This time when I got out of prison again, right before my twenty second birthday, my mom said she was going to help me. Her help was dropping me off at a homeless shelter. This is where I accept Christ as my Savior. I end up giving my addiction to Him. I work from the bottom up. I get a job, vehicle, and learn how to serve the Lord. Through all of this God gave me a heart for the broken and lost. He made it easier for me to love others wherever they are at in life. I now do street, prison, and youth ministries. I have real goals in life to serve the Lord wholeheartedly, help others it the best way possible, and make disciples. I am honestly committed to my calling and will do whatever it takes to be the most effective soldier for Christ. I believe that college is the next step for me, and I am willing to put forth a lot of effort to see this thing
