The following is a true story. I was a young boy when I first encountered death. Over the years, I slowly watched the people whom I loved most in life leave this earth one by one. Looking for answers in life, I turned to everything other then what I needed-Jesus Christ. My life story is a powerful testament of faith and victory. I was lost in a world, with nowhere to turn and on the brink of destruction. Being at a point in my life where I couldn't handle my problems, I had two options-give in or give them to God.
