How God Helped Me in My Life

When I was eleven years old in 1968, we lived in these old houses that sit up off the ground. My momma and aunt use to smoke Prince Alba tobacco, the kind you roll in a cigarette paper. My cousin Sheryl and sister Carolyn stole tobacco from them and rolled it in a brown paper bag. They were sitting under the porch. I wanted to know what they were doing, and they were trying to smoke a cigarette. Carolyn gave me one, they blew there's out their nose, but I didn't know how, so mines came out of my nose and my ears. When I came from under the house I had hard time breathing and talking. Next thing I know my momma comes running out the house yelling "what's wrong with her!" They got the whipping of their life, but I didn't get one by my momma because the cigarette gave me the whippping of my life. Today I don't smoke bad habit.

When I become a teenager my friends and I started drinking Jack Daniels. I was so sick that my eyes sunk into to the back of my head. The ceiling was spinning. I don't drink right to this day bad habit.

Later on I got introduced to cocaine, my friend rolled up a dollar bill and said," snort with one nostril, wait a minute and do the other one." My head was so loaded and heavy. I couldn't move out the chair I was sitting in. When I woke up the next morning my mom and step dad had to come and get me from out of the mud under a bridge bad habit. From that day on the lord saved me and I prayed and asked him to never let me do drugs or drink alcohol again. He answered my prayers and today I do not do drugs or drink alcohol. God has been good to me through all my life and I give him all the praises and glory.
