Please bear with me, this not easy for me, testimony is to reveal the nature of a Christ-like child in despair, but at the end with hope and much love
In everything, there is a beginning
My father was from a very old school, he works very, very hard
My mother trying to keep up with the six of us in school or at home
I had not to much interest in learning; I was a very shy kid.
At times and years before doctors did have the means to diagnose the disorder
Some disorder today they do have the means but doesn’t work all the time.
Some disorders can be inherent, or by malnutrition.
Years later because of many problems, as time pass by I was diagnosed with A.D.H.D.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
I could not focus and I always fidgety always quiet.
They could not understand how to diagnose this, it was no problem.
When I was about 3 years of age, one day I fell off a third-floor window and I fractured my head and landed on a batch of black coal which was for the furnace the boiler, this broke my fall.
Years later in my adulthood, I had a dream of being tossed out the window, I ask my mother what happened to me but she was silent.
I was the discomfort I needed overcome, by enduring
It seemed that I cannot find no one to help me, or in my family.
I just wanted love and attention, I was harmless.
It just made me and mysterious nature.
My father started to drink alcohol and started to abuse me, and because he could not understand my behavior, that I had A.D.H.D.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder at that time.
As I grew my family and I move from one place to another, not all at once, but throughout time.

Now I was about five years old my father started to drink alcohol and started to abuse me, and because he could not understand my behavior, that I had A.D.H.D.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder at that time.
I loved him so much, I tried to make things better but I was just a weak kid.
Even in society.
No matter how much I tried I just kept falling backward.
For my father and I, there was no love between us at all, he did not know how to love.
About this time, I was in my teens, and my father just got his own business.
I failed many times in school, even if they didn't know about my A.D.H.D.
This time I got in trouble in school as a child the kids abusing me, my father had to do something with me.
Love was not always there for me; my brothers felt bad for me and my sisters.
I just couldn’t, no one to help me, I did not understand and just kept silent.
My father put me in many programs, just not to deal with me, catholic school, programs for youth, I just kept going backward.
Not because I did what to, but because of segregation. It seemed to be no hope for me.


In Eph 6:1-4 (KJV) Honor thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise ;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
And, ye fathers provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord.

My father had many chances to prosper but without love in my family or in any family, we just become strangers as we got older.

My father never share any time with me or took out to any pall games or I saw another’s father that was dads took out their children’s and encourages their children's in anything, but that I should seek understanding, and not living with any role models in my life, but all I learn from life was hardship and affection, my family brothers and sisters loved
No one in all that time, show me or told me about Christ
As I got older I said that I couldn't accept the abuses of my family and that I will not allow him to hurt us anymore.
I can not tell you what he did to me, too much memory
I couldn’t express my feeling, as a family because I was too young.
I had to stand for myself
This time I stood up for myself, and my family for I was the oldest to my brothers and sisters, my father and he raises his hand to hit me, for some reason I kneeled before him, instead, my father looks with anger and feeling of despair, so he cast me out of my home, never to return.
I had nothing; I lost my family forevermore!
But after all, I when to I could do nothing but one at my 23 birthday Christ Jesus found me and cured me of my Disorder, I began my journey, the word of God taught me

In 1 John 2:27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teaches you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

(This means that my heart was not corrupt, and my mind could be renewed)
Love is all I know Christ Jesus found me and cured me

I only can give these words
James 5:16 (NKJV) Confess your trespasses to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

Psalms 103:2-3 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,

Psalms 103:11-13 For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him.

Isaiah 1:18-19 Come now, and let us reason together," Says the Lord, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.
If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;

Romans 8:1-2 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Romans 5:6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Psalms 119:9 How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.

Prov 23:15 My son, if your heart is wise, My heart will rejoice--indeed, I myself;

Prov 23:19 Hear, my son, and be wise; And guide your heart in the way.

Eccl 12:1 Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, "I have no pleasure in them":

2 Tim 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Eph 6:1-3 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
"Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise:
"that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."

1 Thess 5:17-19 Pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Do not quench the Spirit.

Eph 2:4-5 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.

2 Cor 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

1 Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
 
Wonderful testimony thank you for sharing this with us. Sometimes the school of hard knocks, as I well know growing up, actually teaches us about love and hate and struggling between the two and what is important to self through all of it. Jesus sees us in the midst of our torments and within them we can hear Him calling out to us to come to Him.

I thank God for your healing and who you have become in Christ. Keep growing and keep loving, God bless you.
