My Life #nofilter

Mon, 04/20/2015 - 15:18 -- Kyaira

I use to hit
I use to hate
- Myself-
I use to cry
I use to want
I use to wish
-to die-
I didn't understand
-how the people who where suppose to love me left me-
I didn't love myself
-I didn't see who others saw-
I didn't want
-happiness-
-love-
-anyone -
But that all changed
-the day I gave my life away-
-when I gave it back to who first gave it to me-
I found my way back to God
God helped me find who He created me to be
No longer do I
-hurt
-hate
-want to die
This is my story on a page
-short-
-simple-
-complete without end-
This was- is -my story #nofilter
I was
-abused (until I was twelve)
-in foster care (until I was fifteen)
-adopted sophomore year of high school
I did (for the longest time)
-feel unloved, unwanted, unimportant-
-went to counselors, a psychiatrist-
-believed something was wrong with me-
-was on antidepressants-
Then
-the summer before my junior year of high school I gave my life back to God-
-I joined Church Leadership-
God told me, He showed me, the plans He has for me
-to help those who feel how I once felt-
-to love those who feel they could never be loved-
-to shed light in the darkest of places-
-to share my story so others can find hope to make it through their hopelessness-
My Story
My Life
In order to do God's work has to be one of/with NO FILTER.
