There has been quite a bit of talk about me lately...
Sure, I may have donated some STEEM to a steemian in need and I may have taken a drive to help a steemian who needed some money.... I may try to encourage and help others, and bless them when I can... Doing things is one thing, but today I want to tell you why.
Simply put, other than what I have already shared, most of you know very little about my past. Even what you do know is only what I have chosen to share or present. I may seem like a good example and a caring, loving guy, but there is much more to the story than that, and I certainly was not always the way that I am now.
I used to be a very greedy, deceitful and selfish person. I would not have cared much about any of you, seriously. So what made the difference, and why is @papa-pepper the way that he is now?
WHY YOU GOTTA BE LIKE THAT?
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
Wow you really changed your life, I can see the intensity and passion in your eyes, you made me cry, but in a good way. Isn't it amazing to look back and see how far you have come because we all have struggles in life and when you are strong enough to overcome them, especially when you believe in yourself and the big MAN upstairs nothing can stop you.
Thanks For Sharing papa

Dear @papa-pepper, would you please let me add something else to your amazing video?
1- your mentality of GIVING instead of just RECEIVING is what i praised the most! Us humans continue to reinvent technology and wealth but we tend to centralise everything again and again, selfishness looks like to be inherited in human DNA. All this STEEM thing...man... its an opportunity to everyone become a little less selfish, and realise that GIVING is the only way to change the world and ourselves!
2- you are brave of coming here to share your story. The decision you made of changing your life (being enpowered by the life of Christ) id a daily decision we all must do; should I tell the truth? Shoould i pay my taxes...or should i help that person in need... its a matter of choice we make every single day. Today, 5am in Australia, i want to choose to live for like Christ did.

What a testimony! Thank God for change that we know can only come from the power of God. At some point in all our lives we come to this crossroad of choosing to serve our own fleshly desires or the will of God. I haven't met one single person who has regretted the choice to let God lead their lives. Change them for the better, turn their life around 180 degrees. He protected you from you own self destruction.
No matter what others belief we can all be thankful for the impact of God in your life and the faith that you have that has brought about this change for the good. We are all indeed blessed because you allowed God to change you and use you to help others. He's given you a giving and compassionate heart to serve others. Thank you and be bless papa pepper!

And how does it feel to be you today?
Does it feel right? Does it feel good? Does it feel like 'this is really you?'
If it does, then you were living a lie in your youth.
You are not the only one to have a history that is less than pristine. But it is what you choose to do now and in the future that counts.
You are the way you are because of the way you were - it made you the man you are today. Be grateful for the experience that has grown you into a man that can care, and love and share freely. Not everyone can do that.
Also, it is ok to be proud of yourself for seeing a better path and choosing to take that path. Not everyone has the courage to do that.
It is a real treat for me (and probably others) to see your family growing and to see your success. You work hard at being the best dad and husband you can be, so you deserve your success.
I'm really looking forward to watching as you build your house and transform your land and grow a good batch of happy health little peppers.
So don't sweat that you have a past. Be grateful that you have a future. Just as the rest of us on Steemit are grateful that you are here, and that you are you.

Everybody gets lost for some time and must find there way. For some it may take decades, for others, it may happen right in the beginning of adulthood. The world is a complex place and we are thrown into it among billions of people with guidance from 2 people, and too often guidance from 1 person.
In the end it's all about love. One love. Best of luck in the future.

@papa-pepper Amen Brother! Truly moving. I'm glad you shared that with all of us Steemians. I am thankful for God and all that he has done for me so far and I am glad that he could take that evil from you and put it away. There's been a fair share of evil in my life as well. Nobody's perfect by any means! So whether you were good or bad. I thank god for a spiritual guide such as yourself sir. I am glad that you have an amazing wife and family to keep you seeing that good part of life that can exist if you so choose to make it so. I am happy that God allows you to do these good deeds. It is great to see his work taking place! Thank you for such a great post once again man.

I'm very happy i have had the time to find this video of yours, I'm sure the Good Lord guided me here. I had spoken to you before , I said I felt like you got your deep thoughts had came from the same place as mine. At the time I didn't want to talk about the Lord our God, simply because we didn't know each other and sometimes people can be offended when we talk about God. When we last spoke It was on a topic the was worrying me greatly, as children where at risk, from being exposed to the dangers of people going off grid, that are far to inexperienced to do so. Going off grid can be outright dangerous if poorly informed or prepared . The romantic fantasy is very different to the reality.
Now having watched your video, I can see that you are reformed man and endeavoring to commit to the Lord and also fellow a Christian, I must say, i believe your intention to be honest and true. I too, had a background that was somewhat unsavory and gives me no pride, but as you, the Good Lord Our God has given me the opportunity to do and be all I can. Though I am not rich in dollars or steem, i give all I can to those I have the opportunity to do so too.
The worry I expressed to @mericanhomestead has been resolved , not by me, but by him. He has been doing a good job at including the need for caution in recent posts and I take my hat of to the man, that can see the potential dangers that may come from a lifestyle that he, or any one else for that matter, is promoting to the world at large. I hope we can talk again some time, it would be nice.
Take care brother, may you and your family continue to be blessed and protected by our Lord and God

I was a bad person as well, I've done some horrible things to people I said I loved the most, I don't know why, but that's how I was. Only thing to do now is to become a better person, and really care about others and their happiness and lives. It's a good feeling to help people :)

This was truly inspiring. I think you conveyed that whether you've always been "good" or "bad" doesn't matter and that self-righteousness doesn't get you anywhere. The decisions that you make every day are the ones that determine who you are, and I admire the selfless decisions that you make.

wow.. I am glad you look back and realize you made mistakes. Most people in this world just continue on that path. You are lucky, because whatever your religious background, you go to heaven when you self reflect and change for the better. Don't believe in heaven? Even more reward in my book because it's even more truly selfless. Good for you.

You have a past as we all do you found yourself, the real you, you had to go through all the crap to find who you are, from what I have seen you have grown uo to be a good person with a big heart, its always been there just hidden under a selfish teenager,,

Thank you so much for sharing your back-story with all of us. It makes me want to hear from you even more. You deserve all the light in your life now, dont ever feel otherwise, because you're clearly not the same person you use to be...evident in your eyes alone, let alone all the actions that prove this too :). Following your journey my friend.

@papa-pepper, you are a great guy. No matter how was your past and who you were in the past, if you are doing good things in the present then it's worth it.
Sure, God is great but also to follow God is is greatness too.
You have been the man everyone wanted, and you have been doing good things despite of your past .. this is much of your virtuousness.
Being generous isn't easy, it needs a lot of greatness, and we can see that in you :)
keep doing good, you are a model to all of us.

I try to be real. Since I have no history in online interaction, perhaps I'm breaking some "rules", but I do what I do, and it seems that people enjoy it! Thanks @cyberblock.

Its a matter of choice really. It is in our hand to be devil or saint as God has sent everyone with equal opportunity.
