My life story in a nut shell from the crib... You're next... Let's get to know each other from birth on SBR!!! What drives you in life today!!!
I was born in 1968 in Santa Monica, California.. Raised in a Catholic school.. Rebelled and hated religion with passion after that.. Thought it was all non sense. I did learn the 10 commandments though. It always stuck in my mind.. Still rebelled.. Bad boy..
Mother and Father had 3 children and I was the youngest.. I was a mistake and I always knew that as I was years apart from my siblings... I was beat up by my father and older brother growing up but loved the most and protected by my mother.. My absent father left when I was 12 years old thank GOD!!!.. He was no fun to be around...
I remember the fighting and screaming in my house growing up and I was embarrassed.. I remember dishes thrown by my mom in anger at my adulterous Father.. I remember my sister left crying when my dad left for good out on the porch.. I remember my older brother at 16 standing up to my father in rage.. I was proud of my older brother at age 12 at that time.. He was abused the most..
My single Italian mother then tried hard to support us kids after my dad left for good and we grew up poor, my older brother enlisted in the Air Force and was sent off to Mississippi as he felt he had to get away.. That was devastating to me.. He was my father figure...
My oldest sister was lost..
Fast forward 4 years later - My older brother found a Southern Christian bell and married her.. He was an Alcoholic at the time but was forced to go to Church and got called out by the pasture for no reason and never took a drink again.. That grabbed my sister and my attention at some level back then and made us think.. What is up with big bro?
I was in my early 20's now and a full blown atheist. An athlete and excelling in sports at every level. . Hated people of faith.. Really did. Looked down on them and thought my older brother lost it.. My older brother was a full blown Christian at this point. I said Big bro you are NUTS!!! I said there is a half a dozen major different religions on this planet what makes you think yours is so right? I said prove it to me!!! He told me just pray for belief and sign and as silly as that sounds i did.. I saw how my brothers life changed and i just maybe believed him, he was not a crazy dude....
I prayed hard just for proof and it opened up a door and BOOM. It took a few months of sincere praying then a major door was opened!!! I followed my brothers foot steps and it held true more then I could ever imagine. I saw things and felt things no one could ever imagine.. I got exposed to the spiritual world.. I got blasted.. NO LIE!!!
I'm 50 years old today and wrote down every incredible experience in my life that happen to day in my bible.. It still blows my mind when I read it.. Now I'm finally going after love and partnership in the real life but I will always put God first over any woman I meet. I'm about to find my soul mate in life and feel it.. I'm trying now...
I was on a mission to make money my entire life and not be poor and be the bread winner in my family, it consumed me even as a Christian.. I wanted to take care of my mother... I did... I am the bread winner today.. I take care of my 80 year old mother today because she took care of me!!!
That's JIBBBY - YOUR TURN!! KEEP IT REAL, don't be afraid to share we will all die one day and who really cares on the internet!!!!
You will never read a more real and honest from JIBS ever on SBR.. Do you have the balls to tell your story??? I'll read!!!
