My Test toe mon e!
I accepted Christ in grade school ,but for 15 yrs ran from God! I grew up in Stockton,Ca, at the age of 13yr I was placed into foster care system for child abuse. I moved into foster care for four years in between safe house and shelter's that never could find the right placement for me. So at the age of !7yr I was placed back home in Northern California with my mother. At that time in my life was pretty well experienced in crime,gangs and drugs! I found myself in a matter of months partying and selling drugs. Doing whatever I thought would get me somewhere fast and away from my pain.
I ran into a big crime opperation that lead me to trasporting drugs down hwy99. I was soon to become more involed than I wanted and not going to get into detail. I became very highly addicted to crystal meth my habit was about $150.oo a day! Things became very crazy and lead me to more problem than I asked for. I began to live on the streets of Hollywood and using needles! I lived on the streets for years and got envoled with a racist street gang. I found myself headed to prison ,but with the grace of the Almighty I was driven out of darkness but it didn't stop there. For a long period after that I would continue the past patterns . In and out of jail ,streetlife and addiction. God still would garb hold of my life threw out the years weather it be overdose,car accidents,prison,death,and etc.
It took the lost of my baby girl on Father's Day,rejection from friends and family, jail,rock bottom more than I could count and most important the LOVE OF GOD to get me back home! There's is so much more to say ,but this will give you an idea and the GRACE of GOD in my life....And the purpose of the WEAK!
