When I was 13 yrs old, I asked Jesus into my heart on a church hayride. Shortly after I was baptized at my childhood Baptist Church home. It was complete with the white church robe and all.
I did not, however, follow Jesus after that experience. My life was a sordid tale of alcohol, sex, drugs, and debaucheries of adventures.
At 36 years old, I got sober and started to seek a relationship with God. I wasn’t sure who “He” was nor if He wanted a relationship with me.
What I found over the past 7.5 years is a loving God who has been pursuing my heart all along. Through recovery, church, and other Christians, I have found a relationship with my Father.
Through the experiences of life, I continue to be refined by the fire and recovered by God to serve His purpose. My hope is that sharing my past will help others see God’s light and the hope for a brighter future.
