Hi everyone.
I just wanted to introduce myself since I am new to the forum. My name is Micaela, I also go by Mica. I have been studying with the witnesses for some time and I attend meetings. I am 22 years old, Latina, married with 3 kids ages 1, 2, and 6.
I have lived a very rough life, and have struggled with an addiction to crystal meth for many years. I was involved in a gang at a very young age and as I got older I began my struggle with drugs. The first time I picked up the bible I was 13 years old, sitting in juvenile detention. I read the four gospels that night and that is what sparked my interest in learning the truth. My big problem was just living by the truth. I have known the truth for many years, but my problem has always been applying the truth to my life. I still struggle with that but I feel that I am progressing.
My goals are to continue spiritually progressing, and eventually be baptized when I feel ready. I need a lot of encourgement right now because I feel like Satan is still trying to hang on to me and cause havoc in my life. But I am faithful and I know if I keep fighting him, he will eventually flee from me. I love Jehovah but I want to love him more. I want to build a deep relationship with him and also teach my husband and children to love jehovah too.
