I share with you the most intimate parts of my life and what my life testimony is to show you how great is the love of our heavenly Father. I love you brethren: Testimony of the life of Raul Zelaya F To all those who in one way or another are puzzled my absence for almost four years, this is why: Until 2008, I kept professional stability through regular jobs. In October of that year I lost my job with Terminix and I would say hence started my downfall. I was receiving $ via the system of unemployment but as you may understand it was enough to maintain the lifestyle that we wanted to be have my ex wife and I and therefore debts began to accumulate. As a result I started to completely make and take the worst decisions and got involved with inappropriate people starting a life of crime”. First they were small things but that was slowly climbing to the point that in June 2009 I was stopped by the Clearwater Police Department and the Pinellas County Sheriff. At that time the judge decided not to give me prison but rather what is known as probation for two years. Little did I imagine that my life would spiral to the bottom. Because of my bad decisions, I lost my family, my wife, my daughter. I lost confidence of friendships, the Church where I was going to, etc. Even though in principle I began to live a normal life again and met my probation immaculate way until one day, I again had the temptation to get money from the easy way and acquired a credit card using the information of another person. On October 2011 when it was already almost finished my probation period and was going to my last meeting with my Advisor, fell prisoner again, as they had lifted me a case for identity theft. I got out on bail, but the 23rd of Dec of the same year, I made a turn to the left where apparently I should not and the police stopped me. Under normal conditions, this should not be problem, but in my case it was because I was on probation and apparently had an arrest warrant because I had not presented myself to court. That Dec. 23rd Marks the beginning of the worst years of my life. The only way to comprehend and understand what a prisoner lives, is being imprisoned. I went through a series of situations that denigrate to the more macho of human beings. I fell into a super depression and on top of that was not given any kind of medication. I will not go into details about my life in prison because for me all that is gone and if something I have to mention and acknowledge is that I finally found the Bible as we know it, I met incredibly good brothers despite being criminal people and learned a lot of life. August 4 of 2014 I finally got out of that nightmare, only to find me with another even greater nightmare, I went through a huge disappointment which cost me to recover but thank God Im good and ready to move forward more smoothly in my life. It is as a result of this situation that I understood clear when Christs message to teach us the our Father... when we say, forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against our”. I see no need to enter into details because it is very personal and does not affect anyone more than me and those involved. All of that is part of my past, and after returning to the area where I lived before, and finally accept that could only ever get ahead, that without the help of our heavenly Father it was impossible to seek to overcome the barriers that I myself created when I became a criminal. From that day, on my knees and totally humiliated before my God and I asked him who the take the reins of my life, is that I Raul F Zelaya can say as living testimony that: I am alive, with health, with roof, with food in my mouth, with beautiful friendships and that I am happy, thanks to our God and his infinite mercy and forgiveness. It is daily thing, every blessing I know that is a blessing from God. Every day when I am about to say something wrong or do something that according to me is good, but God says to me, My son Raul, think, evaluate and decide to: I ask myself, is this what my God wants? Brethren, all I can tell you is that I am saved and that thanks to the personal decision to accept Christ as my Savior has been the most beautiful decision of my life. If you have not yet done so, reflect and make the decision, always remember that God is infinite, omnipotent, and no matter how much we want to hide or pretend that everything can be done alone, without Him, we are nothing! Those who are still with me, thank you! Those that decide not to, I still love you, and I have you in my prayers and wish that someday you will achieve the happiness that I feel. God bless you all! Raul F Zelaya
