I grew up knowing God existed but I never followed him and never really felt accepted. I was involved in relationships that were not healthy and I took drugs and drank lots of alcohol. I basically did what I wanted with no consideration to God. I considered myself a Christian.

After ending a long term relationship my heart began to get cold and I became more focused on my career. I pursued this career in the music business and in peoples eyes I was doing well, but inside still searching. I still didn't find the meaning or the acceptance that I was searching for. One day I saw someone talking about Jesus, I was just amazed that someone could stand there and preach so boldly. 

I knew my life was not right before God and needed to change from a lifestyle of wrong living. I was invited to youth events at the church (Youth Aflame [Pre-Freedomhouse])where I began to follow the teachings of the Bible. I didn't realise what an effect it had on me until one day my mother mentioned to me that I seemed different.

I began to feel that God was with me, but I struggled letting go of certain sinful habits. I was still smoking cannabis and struggling to

let go. God was giving me direction in life and I even felt a call to preach the word of God using the gift that I have to rap. But I ignored that call for a long time.

I was given an opportunity to go and join an independent record label, so I took it, but the deal ended up going wrong and I realized that God was was showing me something. The disappointment hit me real hard and I started smoking again and got even more depressed. I thought to my self, "Maybe its time I just stop ignoring the call.” It was clear God was calling me to put him first in everything I did.

One day I saw somebody from a local church out on the streets spreading the word of God with rap music and immediately I realized it was time to put God first even if it meant not being rich and famous.

I realised that being Christian doesn't mean that everyday is going to be trouble free or that we are perfect butas long as I sought God sincerely, I would go forward. I made a promise to endure every trial and temptation until His return and I pray you do the same. Amen!
