Today marks seven years of sobriety for me. All glory to God! The picture on the left is of me homeless, helpless and completely empty inside. I had no ambition except to get the next fix. I had been up for about a week on methamphetamine, been stealing money from a child’s piggybank and lying to everyone about everything. The sad reality is this wasn’t even bottom. I kept using for about a year, had multiple overdoses and eventually burned every bridge I had. God spared me many times just wanting a restored relationship with me. Finally in 2015 I’d had enough and that relationship was fully restored.
Now fast forward to the picture on the right where I’m happily married to my best friend for three years, have the most amazing seventeen month old son, get to serve in leadership in my church helping many men and women to find their relationship with God, restoring marriages, healing broken relationships and helping others beat addiction. God has allowed me to live so that I can inspire others that there is hope and healing if one truly seeks after it. I no longer inspire people to destroy their lives, now it’s walking with them so they too can live life to the full.
Psalm 119:2 NIV
Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart—
