I am giving this testimony because I am so astounded by what God has done in my life. It didn’t occur to me that God could be the answer. About this time 2 years ago I was stuck on a seemingly endless treadmill of drinking, going to jail and depression. This had been going on for about 10 years. It started with occasional drinking but quickly turned into drinking every day and going to jail for things I did while drunk; I was aware that alcohol had taken over my life. I had become extremely depressed and lost not knowing how to change. I no longer enjoyed life like I once had. The turning point finally came when I went to jail once again on March 21st, 2019. While in Jail the Holy Spirit came over me and at that point, I was convinced that I was going to stop drinking and following the path of destruction I was on. I was released from jail on March 28th, 2019 and went in search of help. I was led to a man named Ken Roberts and the Faithful Servants Ministry. I called Ken and he took me in sight unseen.

I was nervous but felt in my heart that I was on the path that God wanted me to be on. I had never opened a Bible or really been to church. I embraced them and Celebrate Recovery knowing that was what was going to help me find my way to a better life free from my hurts, habits and hang ups. One of the lessons that I learned is that God loves each of us and wants to help each of us, but we have to let Him. Everyone reaches a point in life at which he or she is powerless. We must have faith to rely on something greater than ourselves. I since have had the desire to drink completely removed from me and this is nothing short of a miracle.  In the time since I gave myself to Jesus Christ, He has blessed me in so many ways and continues to bless me every day. I met my wonderful wife that could only be sent to me from the lord. I have a wonderful home and career now. I am able to give back and help others in need. I have seen my difficulties disappear. Life isn’t perfect or easy, but I have peace about it now. I can trust Him who can carry me when I fully rely on the firmest foundation one can have. I have grown closer to God than ever, but I almost missed my chance. Please don’t miss yours.
