Finding the light

Ok so if this jumps around a lot then sorry iv never really put this story into actual words, but here it goes anyway

Ok so basicly my whole life i was Atheist, i didnt think God was like real at all. And my family never pushed christianity that much, i mean there was the mention everyonce in a while but not a lot.... not like i would listen to them anyway. When i turned 13 my uncle, who is like learning to be a preacher,gave me my first bible. I never really looked at it, i mean there was a glance ever once in a while but i never had an interest. Well when i was around 14 i started suffering from really bad depression. I started cutting and also started eating less and puking up what i ate. Still being atheist at this point, and i really didnt care anything about an after life, so my death would have ment nothing to me. Well anyway one day in summer I was really having some family problems, some personal problems, and i just basicly hated myself and felt like i couldnt do it anymore.

At this point i was kind of thinking about like maybe there is a God and stuff but i turned more agonistic at that point. I got my uncles bible that he gave me to see if i could get anything from it about...well just about anything. And i started to open up a little to the thought of a God but I still didnt really want much to do with one if there was one. Things started to get a lot worse than they already were so basicly one night I was in a corner of my house with a knife hoping to slit my wrists deep enough to hit the vain and end it all. But like i just stoped and looked down and that same bible that my uncle gave me was sitting there and I just kinda started reading it, I still to this day dont kno why but im glad that I did. That night i just stayed up and read the bible. Then a week or so after that i decided that christianity was the way to go and i accepted Christ into my life. After that a lot more things feel into place, and i was slightly more calm. I still had suicidal thoughts everyonce in a while but having God on my side made me feel stronger through them. And here i am today, a happy Christian girl.
