My whole life I had to live with a mask on.Even though after my dad was released from jail he bacame a preacher, I still had doubt in my mind. My parents divorced and I could no longer be near my father when I pleased.I was very attached to my father and felt as if my mother didnt love me. Even though in my mothers eyes and my families, I made myself look as a "good girl".I would always bring home good grades,never got in trouble in school.I knew what was right and what was wrong. But since i got tired of pleasing everyone, I decided to make my own little private life. After basketball season I began to drink. Even though I would never go to parties, I would make my own little party at home with as much booze as I wanted. My parents never found out, and to this day they dont know. For about 5 months I got drunk every weekend, and I got so addicted, that the friends that were drinking with me began to bring alcohol to school. During this I met a person who did witchcraft.She bacame my best friend. All my life I had known that witchcraft was bad and that "Death is the punishment for witchcraft" Exodus 22:18. But just to have the chance to do something bad made me feel good. What I didnt realize was that God was there 24/7 watching me. He was watching me open doors for the Devil. Until one day my cousin invited me to a 3 day youth retreat (ENCOUNTER). My life turned. In three days God changed my life.In just 3 days.I had an "Encounter" with the Lord and after that retreat I made the decision to dedicate myself to the Almighty Lord. Three weeks later you can find me taking Baptism classes,joined in a youth group, taking Leadership classes, and spreading the Word of God. I just Thank the Lord for the second chance. God Bless all!
