I'm born a catholic and raised through catholic school, though I only went to church when I had to as a student and later on in years for weddings and funerals. In fact, I despise the catholic church more and more as time passes (we all know why). But there is something about what is going on that makes me feel that I need to reconcile with God. Not as a catholic, but as a person who truly believes God is why we are what we are. Why we are here, at this point in time. Sadly, I'm starting to believe that religions segregate us and keep us away from the real relationship that we should have with God. I know in my heart of hearts that if I drop to my knees, the answer will be there. At the same time, I'm scared to learn just how far away I've drifted from the truth! We all deserve a relationship with our true creator, and HE deserves the same. I'm ready to establish, re-establish, and even exhaust my effort to do so. I hope many of you are ready to do the same! We deserve it! HE deserves it!

Yes. This coming from someone who tried selling their soul to the enemy in the past, someone who completely bought in to the other side, someone who assisted in the trafficking of drugs and children. As I write this, I realise maybe I succeeded in selling my soul given I was lead down that path.
One day during the recent events, I was completely defeated, while on the ground, I was helped back up by something I still won't understand. Whatever it was, guided me to god, I gave myself to this pure and peaceful being, I am your student, take me under your arm and guide me through this darkness. Life was never the same after that. How can god be that forgiving? Why me? It wasn't just me that found god. Why us? I never picked up or read a bible in my life until the last few years.
I am an engineer and it's in my blood to understand how all the little bits work, but I don't need to understand his ways (Isaiah 55:8), I am at complete peace knowing he is always with me and guiding me as I wear the armor of god.
This is great. Thank you
Would you mind sharing your story on this "someone who assisted in the trafficking of drugs and children" part? Did you by any chance also after your realization that you were on the wrong path reach out to any authorities or anyone to assist in helping to bring down that system by having people you knew were involved, especially higher up, to be arrested/charged?
Thank you for sharing what you already have; As someone who has sinned horrifically (one abortion), I know it is not easy to open up to others, strangers especially, about that sin, and to ask for God's forgivence. I am still in a bit of doubt for me that such a sin can even be forgiven :/
I was mostly involved in trafficking drugs and through that I was exposed to the human trafficking side of things. Drugs and human trafficking tend to go hand in hand with each other. Some people I worked with and made acquaintance with were more 'involved' with the child abuse acts.
I did approach multiple LE agencies, federal and local, with loads of hard evidence. They all turned a blind eye to it, with the exception of ICE/DHS. It only made me committed, dedicated to bringing down this evil. There is so much more, but I already feel uncomfortable sharing this much.
I completely understand. Thanks for sharing what you have; maybe it will awaken others who are in a similar situation to see that they're part of such a system is allowing the evil to take and keep hold over our nation.
