Life Change
Before I became a Christian, I found myself always depressed and constantly wanting to be alone.  Around this time I lived in a home where there was always fighting and rarely any sign of happiness.  I felt alone when people were around me, so I began to listen to the people around, hearing the same over and over again, “pray.”

Life Change
Before I became a Christian…

I was a little anxious about getting here so I decided to shorten my time in the womb and exit after a seven month stay. When I entered the world the umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck. I almost died twice. This resulted in not getting enough oxygen to my brain and weakening my muscle development. It has also affected my memory a bit. I …
