He saved my Life

"Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or in dread of them, for the Lord your God is the One who is going with you. He will not desert you or abandon you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

Hello beautiful brides

I wanted to share an incredible experience I had yesterday. I was driving back from work with my boss, and we were talking about the old lives we used to live. She shared with me some stories and I felt led to share with her a time where I was living in the streets, using drugs and how I fell in with a gang while I was Texas. I was 21 years old, foolish and naive at that time. My children had been removed from my care and I was living purely for my own desires, only desiring to get high. When I fell in with these people, I foolishly made a mistake and caused "a hit" to be out on me and how I was riding out into the countryside in a car with someone who had been ordered to put a hit on me. The Lord highlighted to me yesterday as I was sharing this story how His hand was on me even then. All of my days He's been with me. Even when I did not know it. I was not hurt that day or any of the other times I came near to death during that very dark time in my life. He highlighted in my mind's eye, all of the times, that I would have been killed had it not been for His hand on me. He showed me the intent of their hearts against me and how He stayed their hand or moved things so I wouldn't be harmed. The feeling of intense gratitude overwhelmed me yesterday once I was alone in my own car. I made it home to my children, only because of Him. The depth of that reality hit me and all I could say was thank you over and over again as tears streamed down my face.

A year or so after I made it home, alive, to my family I received a letter from the man who had meant to harm me. He stole a lot from me, but never was allowed to physically harm me. He wrote a letter filled with regret, from prison, asking for my forgiveness and how he realized that I wasn't a cop, I wasn't someone who needed to be taken out of you will. The Lord moved mightily on my behalf and revealed the truth and I wanted to share this incredible testimony of His saving grace and power. Allen of this because my boss shared a story of how her friends had been murdered in the drug life. He used that to open my eyes to the truth of why I am even alive today and I was able to share with her, how HE saved me, not because I did anything, not because I finally wanted to get clean, but how he softened my heart, opened my eyes and set me free. Only because of Him do I have the honor of being His and being with my precious children.

Allen praise to the one worthy. He is everything 💞

So if any of you have children or loved ones lost in "addiction" lost in the dark world of drugs, please know that He saves and He doesn't it perfectly.

Just like this ministry teaches, we must be allowed to go through the pain and hardships, the Lord uses them all to bring us to a place where we finally cry out to Him, and He answers us when we call. He's ready to pull us out at the very moment He ordained since the beginning of time.
