Life was great. I graduated high school and started hanging out with different people. I was testing the limits of life that led me down a dark road I wasn’t ready for. After about a 12 year addiction, it was prison or Life Changers!! Life Changers led me to Jesus where I surrendered my life, He took it all and replaced it with joy, hope, and peace through His grace and mercy. I’m going on 6 years sober.

I was lost and dying in a world that wanted to define me and my future. I met the lover of my soul, Jesus Christ, and he smashed the statistics I should’ve became. Today, I live my life for Him. I watch people break free everyday from the statistics I was once defined by. My family has been healed and generations set free.

For nearly 20 years, I spent my life in addiction and bondage. I always thought that I knew what was best for me and never realized that my choices were affecting not only me but those who loved me. I eventually ended up on the inside of a jail cell wondering why me? I was offered a chance to come to Lifechangers, while in jail, and decided to turn my will, my pride, and my life over to the Lord nearly 7 years ago. In just that time the Lord has restored all that I thought was lost forever. My life has never been the same since I found God.

I was so lost, broken and addicted. After a repetitive cycle in and out of jail I was convinced I would die a drug addict. I remember crying out to the Lord in desperation because deep down I knew He would be the only thing that could possibly save me out of the deep darkness I had entangled myself in. He came quickly; soon I found myself in a place of recovery, I can remember tangibly feeling the chains of addiction falling off of me. The God of the universe came down and rescued me in a place were no one wanted me. He has so radically transformed my life into a beautiful story of redemption. I now know that a living God saved me, restored me and now lives in me!! I have a purpose and a destiny in Him and it will
come to pass in my life, my children, and the generations to come.

I was once bound in Darkness, flirting with death, chasing drugs, & alcohol. I was lying, cheating, manipulating, robbing, stealing, being a shell of the man I once was & a stranger to the people that knew & loved me. The Power of God has set me free from the chains of Addiction, the bondage of Rage & Depression, & has brought restoration to my family. Thank you, JESUS for turning that blackened heart of stone back into flesh. For saving a wretch like me.

I had destroyed everything in my life; every relationship was ruined. A lifetime of addiction had stripped me of who I was. Hopeless and thinking I would never escape the brokenness, God had a different plan for my life, one where I found true freedom in him. I have peace in my heart, and my life has purpose again. God has placed a helpmate in my life that is more than I could ever imagine. God continues to heal and restore relationships through his grace and mercy. Every day brings a deeper revelation of my true identity in Christ.
