GPS - In Our Own Words

The following is a story from one of our GPS members who put his feelings into words.

My whole life has been one big struggle. I used drugs to hide my pain and fear. Everything that made me happy soon faded away.

At 9 years of age, I was raped. I didn’t feel like life was worth living and I began to use strong drugs like Acid, Ecstasy, and Heroin. I overdosed four times and pretty much hit rock bottom. I ended up trying to kill myself but I just couldn’t pull the trigger. My Probation Officer finally had enough of me and sent me to a 6 month program for juvenile offenders at the Britt House.

At first I hated it, but then I found the Lord Jesus. I started out slow, but as I progressed, I finally knew that Jesus is who I have been looking for my entire life. I now know what I want to do with my life. Praise the Lord.

Thank you to the mentors at the Britt House and a special thanks to Philis and Skip. I love you two very much. God Bless.
