And in the middle of the night, she said that all the time, I was sleepwalking. I just remember that I would have nightmares, insomnia, and sometimes fear. I saw shadows, faces, and sometimes people who weren&#8217;t there.<\/p>\n<p>I would witness the fights between my parents. I didn&#8217;t see any meaning in my life. That would make me feel sad. With that example within my home, I would think to myself, &#8220;I will never get married.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When I went to school, I couldn&#8217;t learn very well. So I decided to go out with friends, and also I started smoking cigarettes because I felt very empty. I started to wear black clothes and black makeup. But when I was alone, the sadness came again.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t believe in God because I saw all the problems, and I thought, &#8220;If there&#8217;s a God, how can we live like this?&#8221; I was 16 years old when introduced to The Universal Church. Somebody invited me, but I didn&#8217;t believe it the first time.

There was something different. And I continued coming.<\/p>\n<p>After receiving the Holy Spirit, I saw everything differently. I had the certainty He was with me all the time and was going to help me.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I have a love for my family and respect for my parents, and I&#8217;m totally different. I have love, peace, and joy. If you are suffering from any kind of problem, maybe you have a family problem or addiction, you too can come and see what God can do in your life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014Coral<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I was a teenager, I used to sleep with my sister.
