As I grew older I always possessed these traits. As I got to high-school I was still a very good and well behaved young man. I made mistakes on the weekend with my team by being destructive. After I passed this stage I had an empty feeling inside of me. This is when I realized I got distracted from my faith. Faith made me the I was and I knew I was a good person.

Why did I just not just fully invest in the Lord like my parents said from the beginning? To answer this I think God times things perfectly. I think the Lord reaches out at perfect times and affects your life the most when you need him the most. Ultimately by confessing and repenting to God I was able to begin a new life living for the Lord.
