I Went to Church Here In Lake Worth, FL, Again
Before I depart this Godless place (hopefully all goes to plan, super nervous), I wanted to see if anyone else here has had a similar experience. I do apologize ahead for the rambling as my head is spinning a little.

I've been living with who I used to consider a best friend. Throughout my time living with him here, I have, almost every day for the past five months, been living in a constant state of panic. He's hot one second and dead cold the next. His drug abuse doesn't help this at all.

Three weeks ago, I got the news that one of my uncles had taken his own life. I could feel it before my mother had given me the news. My dad texts me later that weekend to tell me that I should seriously consider coming back to MI. At the drop of a hat, I answered 'YES! ABSOLUTELY!'. Come monday, I gave my resignation at the brokerage where said 'friend' and I work. All seems OK for the time.

My last day at work comes, and at the end of the day, my pay from the man I was working for is withheld because I am leaving and other brokerages want me to work for greater pay. I let them all know of my plans to return to my family in MI. I let my 'employer' know that I'm not trying to 'step on his toes'. So my plans for travel are foiled.

I'm not only trying to return to my family, but also to escape the torture of said 'friend'. He has poisoned me, he has chastised and ridiculed me only for his amusement. I don't retaliate to not bring myself down to his level. This Bible speaks plenty on this.

So yesterday, I need to get away for a while and go to Church. Be around those that are positive. The service touched on Joshua 1:8. Not that that's applicable, it's what followed that is. While wrapping up the service, the pastor asked anyone who's open and needs to make a leap to come front and center. I jumped at the opportunity even as so to be close and feel others in fellowship and celebration of Christ. They were hosting baptisms.

I was baptized when I was around 12 years old. Now that I'm 28, this had a whole new meaning. It felt like something I'd never felt before. Just wanted to share with you all, albeit brief.

So here I am, at a bookstore, being locked out of the house until said 'friend' gets 'home'. Not a dollar to my name, but after yesterday, I'm not feeling as hopeless.

Domestic abuse is not a joke. Please pray for me as my family and I are trying to fly me home ASAP to return to my center.

What the fuck? Are you kidding me? Who are you and what do you know about my past? Lake Worthless is not a time I feel like reliving in my mind. Holy shit, I think a part of me is still stuck there. Hello? Me? Is that you?

I don't believe so... Not the first time I've heard 'Lake Worthless' either. ha Thanks for that. I'm just a guy that's trying to be better away from here.

Get out! Get as far away as you can! If you have an opportunity, and have realized that place is no good for your well being, heed the call. You're on the right path, beware the distractions and persecutors who will be used to try and sway your attentions. They have no power, and the only power they are given is enough to refine and strengthen your resolve. If everything was easy, you wouldn't know the struggle. Now that you know the struggle, the world is yours. I went through the same shit, even knew an old guy from Michigan who lives near the Zoo there, in West Palm. There are good people everywhere, and good people in Lake Worth. Sometimes it takes going into the darkest of place in order to see the lights that shine through even in blackest of night. A lot of death in Lake Worth. A lot of suffering. But in weakness, there is great strength. I'm glad I experienced what I did in that town, its a prison town, and I was lucky to stay out of the system. But just to see it is like being on the front lines of war. The cost. Still, there's no place like Florida, and especially no place like South Florida.

Words right out of my mouth. I hope I quoted that correctly. I think it was here that I read "There are two ways to control a person. 1- Use of fear, 2- Promising someone a better life.' Both haven't wrang truer than it has here. I came down here for a friend and a better paying job. Got both, lost both. The job though, more of 'I need to get away from you for my own good', They are masters of corruption and yes, I have met very many great people. However, the dark outweighs the light. I just want to get home safely.

You know what needs to be done, and you're doing it. Its good you have a mentor and a guide. Its the Holy Spirit. Its what got me through my time in that place, and He will do the same for you. You will appreciate, with a newfound understanding, where you came from, and what home really is. Lake Worth is a crucible, not one man leaves the same as when they entered. Be it for good, or worse. You'll miss it, and you won't get fooled again.
