My father was in and out of prison throughout my life. My mother was a faithful Christian, a member to an evangelical church. I've always felt split between the streets and the church. I picked up some bad habits at an early age. At 16 I believe God brought me out of some toxic addictions. I felt faithful to God within the church for a few years. Due to some life experiences I decided to deny Christ and live a life however I chose. Although I knew God existed, I decided to search for other outlets to fulfill my life. I dove deep, ignorantly into drugs. I started meditating on very wicked stuff. I had a breakdown at the age of 27 God allowed me to go through some very dark valleys. I remember calling out to God, but feeling nothing, empty inside. It took time but after a while I started feeling peace and happiness despite being diagnosed with schizophrenia. I live now to spread awareness, that God is real and so is the devil, but Jesus Christ died and rose from death to redeem us.
