Almost seven years ago I met someone who changed my life forever. In some ways she really hurt my life, what i did and who i was, but she eventually led me to who i am today, a devoted child of God. She taught me to do something when i was ten years old that i'll never forget, sexual immorality. She was three years older than i so i looked up to her and trusted the things that she said i should be able to do. So there i was, ten and a half and doing things no one should ever do. I went on like that for two years, addicted. meanwhile the summer after we met she brought me to Spencer Lake Youth Camp, an amazing place where many kids find God each summer. I liked it there, but being so young, i didn't really get the whole idea of giving yourself to God, and being wholely his. So i went just because but had an awsome time. the next summer i couldn't go, but the summer i was twelve i went again. I realized there that God was definately something i need to think about. But i kept on doing that horrifying sin. I didn't realize how wrong it was. But i lived the lie until my freshman year in high school, when i told myself that i needed to stop, not just for me, but for God. The summer after my freshman year i was at camp for the fourth time. I gave my self to Christ, and haven't been the same since. It took awhile for me to quit the addiction, I tried it on my own, but found out that i needed Gods help, so i started seeking him and praying. I have now been "clean" for just over two years, and God has given me thatt amazing chance to help my beloved friend get over the same sin. Ever since the moment i chose God and life my mind set and being has been forever changed, and i never am going back. thank you God, I love you.
