For
many years I was an addict. Addicted first to cigarettes, then
booze, women, fast times, and then Meth and Cocaine. My life was out
of control. Common story, right? I was just one in the crowd whose
life was worthless.
I
was arrested in October of 1998 and faced a life sentence without
parole for my crimes. Everyone had given up hope when the jury came
back with a guilty verdict. I had given up hope,too. I spent a lot of
time just thinking what it was going to be like to do life in prison
and never see freedom again. I decided that I wasn't going to do that
much time for any one, so I planned my own death. I lived for drugs
so I was going to to die with them too. I knew that there were a lot
of drugs in prison and I was going to buy all I could and do them all
at once and slip out of this life into who knows what...
It
was then that God put a question down in my spirit. It was
this,"You have given the world and everything in it every chance
to make you happy and it has always left you lacking. When are you
going to give Me the same chance?"
I
fell on my face that night in county jail and told God that if He
could give me the thing I had been looking for all of my life, the
thing that had brought me to this place, I would serve Him as I had
served all of those things that had never satisfied. God saved me
that night, and His peace rested on me in a way that I had never
known before. I somehow knew that it would be all right even though
it looked so bad.
Many
things happened after that that I don't have space to write, but God
worked it out. I got ten years in Federal Prison as opposed to life.
I did six years after God blessed me with a year off drug program. I
got in the Word and I now have this ministry reaching out to the
addicted and the families of the addicted through music, drama, food,
recovery groups, prison ministries, freedom from meth rallies, biker
events, and youth ministries. God has moved mountains in my life and
has hooked me up with the sold out men and women I need to make all
of this work. God has done exceedingly and abundantly above all I
could dream, and I know that He is just getting started!!
I
pray that you are blessed by this website, and that you take
advantage of the ministries we offer. We hope to hear from you!
