Teen Challenge

...Again, Heard on the Street...

Not really- at the Teen Challenge banquet from young people who had been ON the street...mostly in their mid twenties to mid thirties...

I was given the option of twenty-seven years in prison or Teen Challenge

I was given the option of fifteen years in prison or Teen Challenge

My parents divorced

I was sexually abused throughout my childhood

I started taking meth then manufactured it

I was physically and verbally abused, always

I have begun my life all over again

I had the college experience I didn't have as a teenager as I lived in the dorms

You (the sponsors) bought me the first pair of decent glasses I ever had - for the first time in my life I looked pretty

I graduated from Teen Challenge and had the prom I didn't have as a teen. For the first time in my life I felt pretty

And praise and worship...

And, finally,

WHEN THE DEVIL REMINDS ME OF MY PAST, I REMIND HIM OF HIS FUTURE!!!


Amen
