I just had a real rough week or so...long story id rather not get into but was in jail from july 5th until i got bonded out today... the first few days was agonizing.
But, then i decided to ask for a bible. Im about 500 pages in, with a promise to him that im going to finish it. Found many parts that told me what I needed to hear already, and ive made some vows to God that I fully intend to keep. Among them being I am going to get baptized and find a church family.
I was already ready to welcome God into my life, but wasnt fully committed. I am now. But, coming here every day and seeing all the love for him was a huge impact on me already starting to come to that decision before the events that happened led me to where I am now.
I was headed down a path that would have probably taken my life, honestly. That's why when the urge struck I was absolutely willing to proclaim I hereby give my life to him. All I'm gonna say is I had to make a choice, what was more important- my alcoholism or God's love.
And here we see our champion putting on the full armor of God. Well done. There is only victory in front of you.
Even before this happened I caught myself praying more and more consistently before bed, and I usually always mentioned my need for that armor
The storms we must endure aren't always pleasant but there's always sunshine after
And God helped me beat that too. Wow! What a life you're about to have my friend.
