How did it start you might ask?   The story began when I was 16.   She knew just how to manipulate me & so did Tim. This was also the age I lost my virginity to him. Lured toward the lust I felt inside. Which was why I had so much PRIDE. She dated me & some other guy. All along I was just her backup plan. Keep in mind, I was a 10th grader in High School. Going out to parties, smoking a bunch of cigarettes & **** Nothing mattered. Which left me feeling more alone than I ever did. Didn't get the privilege to walk down the aisle with the rest of my classmates. Expelled. How can God forgive a misfit such as me? How undeserving I was. Rebellion. Plenty of drugs & clubs - my personal favorite was Pulse Night Club. Who was I when I wasn't with women? This was my life for 10 years. Later on, I watched a spoken word video called Jesus > Religion. For a moment it clicked, or so I thought. Evidently realizing I was a religious fraud. Once upon a time, I was among the dead. Now I am fully alive in Yeshua. I may never forget, even if He already has. As far as the East is from the West.   Relentlessly pursuing me in my brokenness. He has made me whole & new again. I urge you to pick-up your cross. The battle has already been won.

Psalms 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
