I was raised in church and I believed in Christianity, but I didn't want to serve God yet. I wanted to have my fun first. I figured I'd serve God when I got old. I was always prone to getting in trouble, even as a little kid. By the time I was 16, I had a long history of being in trouble and being hard to deal with. I had been using drugs for a few years, and was involved with gangs. I was on probation, and had been to juvenile hall. I almost dropped out of high school, and I had developed severe depression and paranoia. So, after having all that "fun," I decided to serve God. I knew He was real, but I didn't serve Him until my life was in complete chaos. Even though I started serving God, I still had to work through all those problems. He was with me the whole time, and made it possible for me to overcome them. I wish I would've served God before my life was a wreck, because it would've made things a whole lot easier. Thankfully, God used those things to draw me closer to him in a way that I wouldn't be able to, if I hadn't gone through that stuff. Slowly but surely, I got off probation, out of trouble, quit using drugs, and God restored my mind. It's been the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, but, by the grace of God, I am where I am today. God blessed me with the gift of art and music while I was going through my darkest hour. He hooked me up with a friend, named Shane Grammer, who introduced me to graffiti art. Shane showed me how I could get permission, and use it as a tool to glorify God. I fell in love with it instantly. Shane, being a solid Christian, was a good influence, and helped me grow closer to God. The Lord has blessed me in so many ways since I've been serving him. He has blessed me with Christian friends who write raps, who paint graffiti, and have a sincere passion for him. he has blessed me to be able to go to art college, and has restored my relationship with my family. He has done so much for me, more than I could've expected, or come close to deserving. I love God so much. I am humbled by how kind and loving and forgiving He is. He is truly  my best friend, and my reason for living.
