The transformation

Growing up, Christ wasn’t someone I’d turn to. Even though I grew up in a religious family. Sure, I knew who God and Jesus were. But asking for help wasn’t my thing. I either do it myself or die trying.

I entered the “adult life” at a very young age. I started hustling for money at the age of 15. Because my parents were having a hard time financially. So I wasn’t the type to ask for stuff or for help. And before reaching the age 21, I was blessed with two handsome boys. I used to think it was God’s way of punishing me. But the more I get closer to god, the more I understand why he was doing it. He shaping my character.

After divorcing my ex wife of six years, I was at a very low place. Until a very good friend of mine took me to church. I wasn’t sure at first. But then one day I decided I’d go by myself. During church I was feeling like someone was calling me. I’m not one who cries but that day I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. I burst into tears. From that day forward, I started to follow Jesus Christ.

Now that I’m following Christ, I have nothing to worry about. He’s been changing me and leading me. Some of my friends are even noticing the change.

After losing some of the people that I thought was gonna be a part of my life. I thought I’d be sad about it. But I wasn’t because I know if God can remove the people that are not for me, I know he can bring people that are for me.

From now on, no matter what comes my way, I know God the father, Jesus the son and the Holy Spirit are always by my side.
