I want to give thanks to my Lord and Saver Jesus Christ for my salvation. He has taken me out of a miserable life of sin, addiction and gang violence. For many years, gangs and addiction, to meth, ruled my life. This lifestyle led me to serve 15 years in prisons all around the country. My loyalty to this makeshift family put me in situations that I am now ashamed of. But I am thankful to God Almighty for breaking those chains in my life; I have been delivered from drugs and am no longer part of a gang. Jesus has given me back the years that the enemy stole from me and restored my relationship with my family. Because of what Jesus did on the cross for me, I now live a life filled with joy, freedom, and especially peace.
