Rev 21:11
I started using drugs when I was 11 years old. I wanted to get noticed and this was a way to try to be cool. Unfortunately, that led to an 18-year cycle of drug addiction that consumed me and left me homeless. When I came to Adult & Teen Challenge, I felt broken and beaten down. But, I eventually surrendered my life completely. Things happened that left my daughter in state custody, and I was devastated. But now I knew the Author of Peace, and I was overtaken by the love and grace of my Saviour. Jesus truly comforted me with an everlasting peace. He began making a way for me to get my daughter back, even when there seemed to be no way. People around me supported me with prayer and eventually, the courts allowed my daughter to come live with my dad and step-mom. I am now married, and I get to be the father that I was meant to be for my kids. The Lord has blessed me with so much that the devil tried to steal from me.
