Testimony Tuesday meet Clay Sattler
I’m from Houston, Texas born and raised. I come from a background where drinking was common in my family, and it impacted my life from an early age. My life started to go downhill in my early twenties. I developed depression, though I didn’t recognize it at the time.I just thought I had everyday problems like everyone else.
I started drinking heavily to drown out my sorrows and struggles, which eventually led me into a coma. I never intended to drink that much or go that far, but evil was coming for me and tried to finish the job. While I was in the hospital, the doctors told my family to prepare for the worst my organs were failing, and they said I wouldn’t make it through the night.
But a few hours later, the doctors told my mom that everything was coming back my organs, my vitals everything. Medically speaking, I shouldn’t have survived the night based on my blood alcohol level and condition. But God had other plans for me. Sometimes it takes falling into the darkest pit to realize we have a problem and truly want help.
My brother met a representative from Saving Grace named Taylor. She saw my brother, prayed with him for me, and gave him a pancake card, which he later gave to me. Something told me not to fight it or question it just that I wouldn’t be alone in it. And here I am, at Project Hope.
This program gave me back my faith and love for God. For that, I owe so much to the program and the people who stood by me and helped me through it all. When I began to lose all hope, God was still there. He never left my side and showed me the way.
My stand on scripture:
Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
