ITS YOUR CHOICE

I read about "MY DRUG LIFE". Drugs, drugs, drugs. When I read this story I thought wow this is so surprising, and yet interesting. It was surprising because such a young girl would do such things at a young age. Looking at the title before reading the story obviously I knew it was going to be about drugs. But I thought it was going to be about someone older. It was so interesting because this young girl really did drugs at such a young, young age. The amazing thing about this story is that she really got to stop herself from destroying her life because not many drug addicts could do that unless they get the best help. But I really enjoyed reading this story and being able to write about it makes me think about who I could of been if I made the wrong choices.

All my life I grew up in church and never got the thought of doing drugs. My dad was always a pastor and being a pastor's daughter, doing drugs was officially not in my vocabulary. I've seen my family and their friends do it but I never thought of doing it because I knew what it was and what it could do. Reading this story I never thought that life could be so destroyed in a blink of an eye. It made me wonder if there are any other lives out there that are being destroyed by drugs, alcohol, etc. Life should be used in positive and healthy ways. We shouldn't do anything to hurt our bodies because God didn't form us like that. Sometimes my friends or people I knew or just met have or has offered me to smoke and drink with them but I always knew what to say. Now my friends know what the answer is to their question so they don't seem to ask at all. Even though all my friends are different from me they don't look at me as a different person. They say that I am a good influence and that I inspire them. All I can say about drugs is that I know it will not get you anywhere. I've seen so many lives be taken away because drugs did it all. But I've also thought about the people who took them, and I said to myself, maybe it was their fault because they chose to do it. But I learned that it is no ones fault because we are given a choice to either live life for God, live life better than just doing drugs or just do drugs and never move on from there. I can say that God is not forcing us to do what he wants. He is waiting for us to call on him and take Jesus Christ as a personal savior. I've been through so many things in my life but I never been through anything that had to deal with drugs and alcohol. I thank God that I am still alive and breathing.

So overall, this story helped me think more about what I want to do in life. It made me want to do better and not think about the negative things that are waiting to pull me down underground. But I know my answers to all those situations because I know the cause and effect and everything that I need to know. But I know that I won't do it because I have a choice and that choice is to live life for God and to succeed. I am not saying I'm perfect because I always want to or do the right thing. I am saying that God has gave me a choice, you too. It's up to us to decide because God is not going to force us. From reading, learning, thinking, and wondering I've become more aware of the fact that drugs is an addiction and definitely a destroyer. I've been given a chance to make the right chance and proclaim the gospel and achieve and accomplish all my goals in life.
