My Testimony Part Two

 
I was raised Catholic so I believed in God, but I wouldn't necessarily tell you I had a relationship with HIM.  I sat on that barstool at work and cried out to God.  Kill me if this is my life, take me from this. I have nothing to live for so end it all.  Two weeks later I find out I am pregnant with Brandon.  That is when the Miracle started.  I finally had something to live for.  In my eyes a purpose to stop this crazy life that I had created. Now because this is my story and it is me.. I didn't get the knight in shining armor with the baby.. My knights in shining armor  were immature guys rolled in tinfoil.  So I had Brandon by myself and when he was 7mos old I moved us to California in 1998.

I got her to Cali and was all Chicago..I had the hair sprayed bangs that hit the roof of the car, 160lbs and makeup that would make Lady Gaga proud.  I moved in with my mom and got a job bartending.  And during that time I met these three little ole men that told me on how they all lost weight.  They did the Atkins diet and they were right... I lost 40lbs and the beginning of Cali Renee was born.  

I got a job at SBC the phone company to work a normal job so I could raise Brandon.  That is when God started at my heart.  I kept meeting these "Christian" people.  I never met "Christians" before.  I was raised in Chicago where everyone I knew were Catholic and the Christian people were Bible beaters.. LOL  They would come up to me and tell me about their relationship with God and I would just tell them "God Loves me so I am ok." Well WE KNOW THE TRUTH... I wasn't ok... I still had that hole in my heart that I couldn't fill. Even the love of my own child couldn't fill that. God kept knocking but I wasn't answering the door.

They kept trying to get me to go to church, go to bible studies but I declined and went on with my abnormal life.   I had this new body, new haircut and realized quickly again I was getting attention from men.  I met a ton of men that wanted to fill that whole in my heart HA... and I kept trying.  I then met another immature knight in shining armor and then had my second child. Again alone but I had my Jaden.  I always told my friends usually when you break up with someone you usually keep mementos, but for some reason I kept sperm.. lol.. And Jaden was born. I was now a single mom with two boys and still no man or direction.

Then one lonely day I joined a site called MySpace.. remember that site... lol

This is really good Renee. I'm excited to find out what happens in the next blog. God is using you in so many ways to touch others.
