Dear Family, the reason my subject title is "Never enough", I realize first is a very obvious reason. But also because I would like to continue in my testimony previously.
During the first month I returned to church, which in itself, was wonderful. The reason I had not been in so many years is because of the damage my brother had done to me during my childhood. You see, EVERY SUNDAY, was his day to repeat the sexual abuse. So, I held it against God. And then began, as I got older, to live within the world and what it had to offer. At the age of 40, I was on my way to my drug dealer...on the way there, I past a Christian book store. Entering the store a lady came to me asking if she could help me. I have always had difficulty understanding the Bible and so I asked if she had a Bible that I would be able to understand. Of course she did...I began to cry, and then explained to her that instead of going to get dope...I 'needed' to use the money to purchase this Bible. Since then I have purchased four more and have given them to all the female members of our family, not that the men did not need them also...but in hopes of starting a tradition in our family and to bring us all closer together. Not to mention to begin making amends with my mother, sisters, and daughters...the ones that I feel I hurt the most. Meaning my behavior had lasted many years with these women. And I will forever continue to give to all people the love they always gave to me.
