Poetry started a period after I asked the Lord to help me become the best Christian I could be. Over time rock music and drugs fell. While that does take drive to succeed, it wouldn't have happened without Jesus. My fear was losing what I gained with Christ. I started writing in case I ever slid backwards I would have a memory to reflect on. When other people read the poetry, they liked them. I like their feedback and influence. The poetry that was by me, for me, became 4 us all.I had a rough childhood in a secular household. I didn't believe in a god. Later, God intentionally and personally made me a believer. I started reading the Bible and going to Church. In 2008 I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. In 2009 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Before the diagnosis I went blind in a two-week period. Then to the hospital, got the right medication, and I could see within a couple months. While losing an ability would be terrifying, God was with me. Now, I can truly see.
