The Dare

You will find that once again, I got myself in trouble, and I did not know how I was going to get out of the mess, I got myself into.

Drinking, The authorities, Jail, arrested, lost, Abandoned, friends, rescued, Grandparents, love and Jesus.

Now that I am older and more aware of what my condition is, it allows me to do things that normal judgement wouldn't allow me to make the decisions. I have lived my entire life not thinking about the consequences.

The Dare

My friends, at the time in my life I was always trying to get me to do one up on party weekend, which was every weekend. What I mean by one up is, drink more and smoke more marijuana. I was always trying to get me more messed up than I was the prior weekend. My friends always dared me to have more than I did at the previous party, and I always accepted the challenge, after the Jemson seeds left poison in my body. I went to Texas for a bit to live with my real dad, big mistake not only did the whole experience make me a better partier also messed me up more because of my father. But that's another story for later. Back to the dare, my friends knew I could handle more, well they were wrong, and I drank two pints of Everclear pure grain alcohol. Well, when I did this, I set the poison off in my system from the seeds. Which in turn sent me on an overdose trip all over except this time something different would happen, leaving me scared, because showing off I would break the toilet at the party. The party I was at people would throw me out of the party, and I would run down the street out of control not knowing what I was doing. Without my facilities clear I would break and enter into elderly woman's homes, thank God she ran out of the back of the house, and I began to tear her house apart, tore the stove door off the hinges, threw her food all over the house, and I picked her TV up and thew it crossed the room, of course then I went outside and told the nice officer's I had a gun and was going to shoot. Once the veteran cop saw that I had a jean jacket on that didn't have pockets, he told the rookie cop to stand down, who was about to shoot me. Well needless to say they arrested me, took me into the drunk tank, while I was out of my mind in there, they proceeded to beat the ever-living hell out of me. When I woke in the drunk tank, I was sick, and bruised, and beaten, to them telling me I was facing 16 years in prison, Two felony charges and one misdemeanor charge. Here I was just 18 years old, facing my life being over before it even began, everyone was so disappointed with me. I spent the next seven days locked up, and even though at the time I did not have a very good relationship with the creator, I spent those entire seven days on bended knees, and made him all kinds of promises. He knew I would never live up to such as drugs, I promised I would never do them again, even though he knew I would fail, he had me released into my grandparents' loving arms, who paid my bail and got me the best attorney that money could buy. Who during court got everything reduced to a misdemeanor personal recognizance probation as long as I kept my nose clean for the next two years. I would not have this on my record, a restitution of 2800 dollars was paid to the lady whose house was destroyed, 1800 hundred to the attorney. Thanks to my loving grandma I spent no more time in jail. If I didn't get into trouble for those two years my record would be sealed, and I would have a fresh start in life.

In Closing

I would love to tell you this was the last time, I would get in trouble, it was not, even though God knew I would not live up to my promises, he would rescue me anyway. This is the heart of the God I serve, he rescues and gives hope even when there is none. You just need to tell him your heart for him and he will share a love with you, that we absolutely do not deserve. He just continues to love us even when we are unlovable. This is the pure love of God, and why I serve him, because there is no greater love for his creation, and he would prove this to me time and time again. Thank you Jesus for never giving up on me, and special thank you to my grandma in heaven who also loved me enough to give me another chance in life.
