Three Years.

Three Years.

Three Years ago today I quit using drugs. Three years ago today I decided to be alive. Three years ago today I had an open wound from being stabbed. Three years ago today I was fired from my job. Three years ago I was evicted from my home. Three years ago I lost some very close friends. (I thought) Three years ago today I lost faith in myself, and my life. Three years ago today, was the best day of my life.

Looking back, I can see the unmistakable touch of God. In 24 hours, he completely removed me from everything that kept me addicted. Ten short days from three years ago today, I began talking to a young lady who would completely change my life and without knowing it, motivate me to live through the last of withdrawels. Inspire me to be better, and eventually would become my wife.

Today, I have been saved by Jesus Christ. Today, I have a job I have had for 2.5 years. (Where I have moved up from warehouse to Network Administrator). Today I have a healed scar from a stab wound. Today I have a home. Today I have a wife, whom in reality, I don’t deserve. Today I am alive. Today I think God is smiling, saying, “I told you so.”

How Great is Our God?

Thank you God

Done told you in person, but let me say it here, in writing, in front of God and everybody. You are a person now to be admired. Someone on whom a person could rely on. I am proud to know you, even prouder now to know the path you walked to get where you are. Prouder still that you know it is not by your own power but by the Grace and Mercy of Our Lord. May He guide you in all that you do.

Three years ago I knew things were going to change for the better for you. :) So glad to be your friend Andy, even when you didn't know God and you weren't saved and you were an addict.

Congratulations on your life changing choice three years ago today! I can't imagine how hard it was to leave that life behind and venture out into a new one. Well, in a way I can imagine it. I just did it on a different journey.

It's amazing the choices we make and how they all lead to where we are today. God definitely had His hand in your life, even before you knew it.

Congrats Man! It is truly amazing what God can do in willing lives. You do deserve what you have, everything that you have because you are His and following His path.
