The first day of my life

i have lived in 11 places in my life being a pk and all. But through all of the moves and travling it has brought me so incredibly close to my pappa God. Exspecially through my last move. I lived in a small town in iowa not going to say the name:) anyways i had moved there roughly two years ago. My dad was the childrens pastor at the church and my momma was a teacher. I was a very shy quiet kid. I did not like to be notest. When we first moved to this church i was excited yet scared to death. I remember the first sunday there i hid in the bathroom half of the time that was kind of my life saver. I started attending a christian school they had very different beliefs and views of God but nevertheless i stayed there and finished my seventh grade year and eight grade. Once my eight grade year started i really came mor eout of my shell i was no longer as shy as i had once been and i had grown up alot. In febuary of my eight grade year my youth pastor took me and 5 or 6 otheer students to a thing known as Aquire of the Fire it had different speekers and musicians and that was one of my biggest growing times of my life. it was a two day trip and at the end i really found out what God was calling me to do i felt God tugging me to be a youht minister. When i got back i was changed dramatically.
So let me tell you a few things on my church I loved the people they were amazing my pastor oh i thought he was the greatest and my youth pastor was rcokin. od had placed so many incrediabe people in my life to teach me.
I remember the last day of eight grade year it was bitter sweat. I kind of was in a mood i went home and layed in bed and cryed. At one point i reached my hands to the ceiling and said "God! if you are there please make your self know to me Grasp my hand!" i was exspecting a litteral grasp and i didnt feel one or so i thought. That night was a wednesday so me and my dad headed to church my brother and mom stayed home. I felt kind of down all night but the sermon by my youth passtor went well. After words my dad had a meeting i went to his office and waited it was just a meeting with the senior pastor and some of the older men in the church. The meeting had passed an hour so i started wondering what was going on i walked by the pastors offices just to see if i could here anything and i did. I heard harsh voices and other things which i dont wish to say but i jsut went back to my dads office and didnt think a lot of it. About a half hour later the assistent and youth pastor came to the offices it was about 10:00 at night so i was starting ot wonder. They came and told me to come with them so i went to our youth pastors and his wifes house across the street. They were very kind and just talked and we hung around about 15 minutes later my dad came and they told me to wait outside me and the youth p wife went and talked outside just about random stuff. I knew something was going on becaus eas i sat on the porch i looked through the window and saw the faces of my dad and my youth pastor they were sad and torn looking. When me and my dad got in the car i knew what was happening and all i said was "how long do you have left"? "tell the end of June my dad said" and i jsut cried. This is the begining the summer of 2008 was life changing Go taught me how to forgive and how to love again
this is the first of my vlog series in titled Forgiveness
