When they said it wouldnt be easy in my new walk (as a Christian), I thought, how tough could it be? There were days I didnt eat. There were times we didnt have heat in the winter. I had the same pair of jeans for two years or wear my momma jeans when we couldnt afford to buy clothes. Fightin because kids makin fun of you for bein on welfare was an everyday occurrence. Bein tortured by my own blood till I was forced to fight just to prove I wasnt soft, could happen at any moment. Ive seen a dead body (by drug OD). Witnessed a murderer arrested moments after bein in his presence. That was life, that was the way things were and toughin it out through those times was a natural reaction, but lookin back, I know God was always with me and Im thankful for his guidance and protection. I know my life is better when hes first and I dont fall into the traps and temptations of bein a man, yet I continue to fail him. I am honest and I am genuine, but it is a constant struggle for me to deal with people who are not. Ive been through a lot in life and very little of it, do I regret (its molded me into the man I am). It may be one of my greatest struggles and although I have a lot of improvements to make, I will trust in God to have my back and continue to guide me.
