“When I was young, I made a
vow that no one would hurt
the way that I did, if I
could help it.” — Matthew Aaron

God gave me the gift of writing, long before I understood it. Writing was my supreme escape as a boy. I would never commit suicide. I catalogued my emotions about it. I would never fight my bullies. On paper I filleted them at will. My first book is a collection of poetry. Each piece harkens back to a time, an event, a moment where I’d been hurt, was processing pain or finding redemption. I never considered myself a poet. I was a scared, wounded little boy, finding solace in the catalytic union of pen and paper. The impetus for the collection of writing found here was birthed from a conversation with God. “Write your blog as a low down, dirty Christian saved by grace,” He said. He encouraged me to share every dark, messy detail on my journey of repentance, and ultimately, how Jesus Christ had brought me through. God led me to use my writing as a weapon of hope, fighting back the darkness for people trapped in sin. When I was young, I made a vow that no one would hurt the way that I did, if I could help it. Writing helps fulfill my vow. Jesus Christ helped me walk away from a sinful, LGBT life. I have spent the years since, drawing close to God. Homosexuality and a transgendered life are not God’s design for creation. Jesus rescues people from sin. Hopefully, you will see some of yourself in these writings and join me on your own, journey to the Son.
