the Lord. Pastor preached on the love of Christ at the cross and I had a real conviction of my sinful state and by then I knew I had offended a Holy God. I had by then messed with the occult and gotten involved with spiritual stuff that I knew through my conscience I shouldn’ t have gone near but I wanted answers about my parent’ s past and I was too scared to ask them.
Note to parents- If at all possible be open and honest with your children about who you are and what your history is. I went looking for answers in very dark places and developed a fascination with the occult and people told me stuff about my parents and family that really should have come from my parents alone!
