~Sixth Grade~

  I was living with my dad (parents are divorced) , there were a couple hiccups and my sister and I ended up moving in with my mom. 

  My father had kicked and punched me in the stomache and my sister had been dragged around the house by her hair by my step-mother.

  Once my mom had heard of these events she called CPS(Child protection services) , they did not continue their investigation, said there was nothing to investigates. My mother had a restraining order put up against my father. My sister and I transferred schools and had to start anew.

   While at this new school I had made three new friends in my neighborhood. Jack , John , and Andy. Jack and I had grown close and were pretty good friends. The three of us would hang out. One day I told Jack why I had moved and he said he would beat my dad up. And that he would be there for me. One day I was in his room with John and Andy, they were playing with airsoft guns. I accidently shot Andy , it gave him a welt that looked like a third nipple. Soon after the incident the guys distanced themselves from me, and I found myself standing alone without my three friends. I had other friends, but they didn't know what was going on.

  Two months later, after we had moved in with my mom, we went to court and the judge ruled that we lived with our mother and that we were to spend time with our father. That weekend right after court we went back , back to our old home, back to memories, and back to our dad and step-mom. But, something had changed within them. My dad had come to know the Lord and gave his life to him , while my step-mom re-committed.

  That spring I went to a camp, I gave my life to Lord. But soon after I went back to my old habits and left Him in the dust. I turned my back on Him. Though I had gone back, my step-mom and dad had not. They grow each and every day in the Lord. But I had my doubts and I let them consume me , because the greatest battle is between the flesh and the spirit.....
