I can give glory to God
for what He has done for me. I grew up without really knowing my father.
He was a very distant figure and violent towards my mother; this left me
very angry and bitter. I tried to fill the emptiness in me with drugs,
drinking, stealing etc. Through all these things I was doing damage to
myself and soon realized I could not continue in this way. The beginning
of new life was when I gave my life to Jesus. Not only did He save me but
placed me in a wonderful family with brothers and sisters who have helped
me so much. Daily the relationship between us is one of encouragement and
challenge. I really enjoy being able to live and work in peace and unity
around me with those around me and I am full time in the mechanics
department on the farm where we service vehicles, fix motors etc. etc. I
am also in an apprenticeship season in learning basic plumbing. Above all,
I thank the Lord for His goodness to me. |
