Summary

SummaryI was the party guy in high schoolβ€”drugs, girls, and chasing pleasure. My parents' divorce left a hole in my heart I tried to fill with weed and weekend partying. What began as fun became survivalβ€”I smoked just to feel normal. Then one day, I tried to quit. What followed was tormentβ€”three days of no sleep, no food, and a total mental crash. I woke up in a facility, not knowing who I was. I had to re-learn everything… how to eat, go to the bathroom, even think. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ“‰

Desperate to rebuild, I stumbled upon a Bible in a resource room. I couldn’t understand a wordβ€”until a kind woman opened it with me and shared Jesus from the Gospel of John. That moment lit a spark. πŸ”₯❀️

After I was discharged, I felt a pull to find a church. My girlfriend mentioned Hope Community Church in Raleigh. We went. I actually liked it. I joined a small groupβ€”and that community was my lifeline. Slowly, I let go of the old life and embraced the new. I got baptized πŸ™Œ and declared: β€œI’m all in for Jesus.” I may not know where He’ll take meβ€”but I know it’ll be the greatest adventure of my life. ✝️✨
