I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!

As a native myself, I respect the right of all people's to practice whatever religion they wish. However I would also like to point out that USA is NOT a democracy. If it was, than native people's should not be surprised that they views are not respected when they are not a majority, which after all is what a democracy is. Rule of the majority.

is this fake indian pride lol

[@turtleislandersnorthamerica]

You guys talk that Indian pride very well but you guys are not fooling anybody. if you guys claim that everything on planet Earth is related and that it is our brothers and sisters then why do you guys exclude people that are not the same color as you. why are you being racist to the other brothers and sisters that are trying to support the culture that you guys claim to be so sacred. why do you guys claim that God loves everybody but then you guys have a problem with people supporting and doing the culture as rainbow warriors is what they call them. I'm just confused on how you guys play this game about where all brothers and sisters but there's racism that exists inside the tribes you're not fooling anybody fake religion. And I apologize if your tribe's not the ones are being racist but the majority of them are and silence is violence. We know that there's racism that exist on the reservation off the reservation within the tribes. So until we abolish racism within the tribal Nations there's no such thing as peace on Earth

[@turtleislandersnorthamerica]

@Just Damian don't blame the white man when Christopher Columbus is a Spaniard remember he's the one who discovered this place not Davy Crockett not Lewis and Clark not even John Smith. Stop blaming the white people and blame the Spaniards. I've read too many books about what the Spaniards have done to the indigenous people.

[@turtleislandersnorthamerica]

@Just Damian everybody's a enemy to the indigenous I don't care what color you claim I don't care race you come from if you can't respect the indigenous people and where they stand you're an enemy give no f**** from this day forward. Trust no one

[@turtleislandersnorthamerica]

@Just Damian The evil of hate red is hatred and it is consuming me I can't resist anymore to hate them back. Why are we the only people that talk that we're all related and everything in the universe is related. I'm trying to include these m************ in there we're not related to them because if we was they would treat us like their brothers and sisters so I'm not falling for the games anymore I'm elevated to the point where my mind's realizing that it's all about hatred because he tried that love s*** it don't work you try to love them and look what happens you gave them love and see what happened. It's hard to talk about love everybody is your brother and sister even though they try to kill you. these people and brothers and sisters to us if they're not indigenous and living in indigenous way period.

[@derekbolthausen]

@@turtleislandersnorthamerica unrealistic and completely incorrect statement. Spaniards were and are mainly white and furthermore, the influx of Europeans did not abide by treaty nor boundaries that were set by the government of that time. Where the hell are you getting your info??
