Joker-=Of-God=-'s Testimony

[pvtjoker]

Always the hardest part of a testimony, deciding where on earth to begin, i guess i would have to begin with my younger years, one might say i was an extremely problematic child, i was always in trouble with the police in my younger years but mainly steered clear of other "bad eggs" as it were, this all changed however when i joined secondary school at the age of 11, as a problematic child, the only place i seemed to fit in was with all the "bad eggs" which consisted of both underage smokers, drinkers and drug abusers. As am outcome to this, i started drinking at only the age of 12, and in excesive amounts if im truthfull, this wasnt long followed by smoking, and as ashamed i am to say it, by my 2nd year of secondary school and at only the age of 13, i had also many a time endulged in excessive drug use, this behaviour continued most of the time i had in secondary school and my grades and actuall time spent in school were steadily dropping, its not untill i had left secondary school, and upon the horror of finding i had failed all but GNVQ ICT in my exams, that i came to do anything to change my life, my family had always been very religious but not once did i even think about it myself, not long after my leave from school, i began visiting church, just once a week on the sunday, with the rest of my family, slowly as the months went by my time in church rose from 1 - 3 times even 4 if i could manage it a week, this along with the realisation that i wasnt an outcast and didnt need to hang out with the "bad eggs" slowly helped my write my ways month by month untill i stopped, smoking and drinking all together, About 6 months down the line from this i met Samantha at my local church, she was new in town and i had never met her before this, we came to know each other extremely well after this spending alot of time together, We now have spent almost 13 months and our love for one another has grown over time, i hope to one day call her my wife but no time soon, im still young and have alot of my life ahead of me,

If it werent for God helping me realise my Sin's and helping my write my wrongs, and if not for my meeting of not only my best friend, but the love of my life samantha by the hand of God, i would probably of been the same old person if not worse.

"my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior— from violent men you save me."
