Once Upon A Me

<p>From the outside my life seemed perfect. I had the perfect family--two married parents beautiful house and a lot of toys.</p><p></p><p>But most people never bothered to open my book and read it. It turns out my story isn't a typical fairy tale. There is no prince charming and I was in much worse conditions than Cinderella ever was as a maid. I was verbally and physically abused by my father was bullied in school and grounded forever outside of school. Three weeks after starting high school my parents began to get a divorce. Eventually my family lost everything--even the pretty little cover of my book. At one point both my parents were jobless and I had to help pay for the bills.</p><p>I was raised in the church and was always told that God would never leave nor forake me. But I could never understand why God would allow all this to happen to me. I wasn't the best kid in the world but I never did anything that deserved any of the crap this life dealt with me. I fought to find out my reason for being alive and I nearly gave up. I wanted to die.</p><p></p><p>But when I waited for God's time things finally started to look up. He was there all along.</p><p></p><p>For the first time I have written down everything and I share it with you in hopes that God can use my story to help you. Once Upon a Me is my story of the person I once was and who God made me into today.</p>
