My testimony

Before i received eternal life, I really didn't feelike I had any purpose. I felt empty and turned to drugs to fill something that was missing. I was driven by fear and was constantly consumed with guilt of the lifestyle I was living. On the surface I seemed alright, even though I was dying inside.

After my fifth rehab and numerous attempts at sobriety on my own, I knew that I had to try something different and surrender. God has given me freedom from my past and a real lasting happiness. God has filled that hole inside that I've desperately been trying to fill with other things and through gods grace I am able to see the world through the eyes of Christ and practice unconditional love.

Then I learned how strong gods love for us truly was and that helped me to have faith in something I couldn't see even though the signs were everywhere. I began to pray everyday, even when sometimes I didn't even know what I was praying to. Through a gift of desperation I was forced to let go and let God do for me what I tried so many times to do for myself.

Now that I have received this spiritual awakening and turned my will and my life over to the care of God, I don't ever want to take it back.

Through the past six months of my life, I've persevered through a lot of things that I couldn't of without the guidance of Christ. I've gone through treatment, got my license back after losing it to my second dui, heart break over a relationship, and jail with 5 months of sobriety. None of which would of been possible without the power of prayer and God's grace.

I know in my heart that nothing in God's world happens by mistake and I believe that all these experiences have led me to Christ and have given me the willingness to allow him in my heart.
