A "LITTLE" BIT ABOUT ME

    I was born on October 31, 1984 (Yep that's right Halloween) I am 17 years old. I have been living in Newcastle, Wyoming for 15 1/2 years of my life. I was raised in a house with no direction and I spent 16 years living in sin. One day I went to a party and we were drinking and smoking. I was having a bad night so I wanted to go home but they told me to stay and party more so I did. A little while later the party disbanded. I was offered to go home, but I was too stoned to go home so I called my mom and made an excuse why I would be late. She told me to be home at 1:00 I took this and stretched it to the extreme. I came home the next day at 11:30 in the morning. Needless to say my mom was a little peeved. I had been invited to a birthday party for a person I knew so I negotiated. I got out of all punishment in a way. See even before this had happened my mom had met this guy that worked with her. He and his wife would come and watch me wrestle. They were part of the Newcastle Assembly of God Church. They were and still are Youth Pastors in the churches' youth group. He had suggested to my mom that I attend the youth group. There was something holding me back from going. And up until my punishment I had refused to attend. Now with the birthday party and the grounding in her hands she had complete control over me. I agreed to attend 11 1/2 weeks of a Wednesday night youth group. 11 1/2 weeks for being 11 1/2 hours late I got the raw end of that deal :-). This would get me out of grounding and back to a life I could handle. The first time I went to the group I met some new kids and saw some that I knew. If I wanted to I could jump into all kinds of stories of how I had met or encountered all of these people before. But then this would be to long. Anyway, one person there that I knew from school had such and impact on me that I decided to keep attending. And within 3 weeks, that's 3 Wednesdays, I was lead to salvation. But there is a history in this story. At the beginning of my sophomore I was having problems in my life so I went to a person that I knew that I could trust. He helped me through my problems and we developed a very good friendship out of it. Then one day in band class he started to witness to me about the wonders of Christ. The story of how I was pushed into the group, the party, started 2 weeks before school ended. And I told him that I would try to start going to a group. Low and behold a week after the last time I saw him I was saved. That has been a part of my life up until now. If I told you all that I wanted you would be here probably until Christ came back. So I'll spare you the gory details!
