Today marks 6 years of sobriety for me. When I stop and really think about where I was, the life I was living, and the path I was headed down, it’s honestly hard to even imagine going back to that lifestyle. God truly rescued me from a life that was destroying me and everyone around me.
What amazes me the most is not just that He saved me, but that He now allows me to walk back into the very places I once belonged treatment centers, jails, and prisons and speak life into the people who are where I used to be. I get to pull others out of the same darkness that once had a hold on me.
It reminds me of what it says in 1 Timothy 1:12–14, where Paul talks about how God saved a sinner like him so that others could see His mercy and know that transformation is possible. That’s exactly what God has done in my life. Not because I deserved it, but because of His love, grace, and mercy.
And as if that wasn’t enough He continues to bless me beyond anything I could have imagined. He has brought an incredible godly woman into my life, and in just a month I get to stand before God and become one with her. What a beautiful reminder that God truly restores what we once thought was lost.
Six years ago I was trapped in addiction and chaos. Today I get to live with purpose, serve others, love my family, and walk with the Lord.
I will never be able to thank God enough for His grace, His mercy, and the second chance at life He gave me. If He can do it for me, He can do it for anyone. 🙌🏻
