So full of pride I am that it is a wonder it hasn’t dripped off of me and stuck my feet to the floor. So many of us have this problem and the alcohol and drugs just seem to intensify it. I can do this by myself, was my thinking, but so many times I tried and failed. How many times did I tell everyone everything was fine, knowing it was really a bad situation.
We are the ones who have to reach a bottom so low that not only is the pride almost gone so is everything else. We are trying now to exist in a world of broken relationships, lost jobs, families, friends and everything else that would have mattered to us if we weren’t so lost in a sin addiction that we never had control of. This is where I was in my life when a lady drove into the yard of a friend with whom I was staying after living on the streets for three months. She said, “Your sister wants you to call her.” “Aren’t you ready for some help?” she asked. When I called her 2 days later the pain, the hopelessness, the pure misery that I was living in, knowing that my next step was probably the graveyard or the penitentiary, prompted me to say yes.
Every door that satan tried to close on my journey to Hebron Colony the next 26 days, the good Lord kicked open and I arrived on a Sunday, November 12, 2000 and I have been a part of Hebron Colony ever since.
I could write page after page about existing as an alcoholic and addict, but my story is not much different than the rest of the men and women who are serving satan and the world. I just pray that they will discover how valuable they are to God. Look at the price He paid to set us all free.
Through the teaching and preaching of the word, through the dedication and genuine concern of the pastors and staff and prayers of people who had never seen my face and of course the mercy and grace of a risen Savior, I found the only true cure for my sin addiction, Jesus Christ.
You may not agree, but I truly believe we are living in the end times. Please really listen to what is being shared with each of you at Hebron Colony. You will make the most important decision of your life; where you will spend eternity.
I still have struggles and trials, but now these are just opportunities to overcome and glorify God. You can have Him in your life too and it is wonderful. Just ask Him and He will be there.
The good friend I was staying with in Georgia died the last of February from alcohol induced complications. He never found Jesus and I’ll never see him again.
