God is so good! He has been so faithful to me, especially in the past three months. In the middle of May 2005 I was in Arizona hooked on Crystal Meth. People were taking advantage of me left and right. I had no boundaries with any of my "friends". If they needed anything I was there. I was pretty much being walked all over. Not to mention I was killing myself by abusing drugs. But God did not want the drugs to kill me. He had something better planned for my life. Meanwhile my wonderful mother was in Texas going to Bible school. Her and her classmates were on their knees daily praying for me to change my lifestyle. God definetly did rescue me from the path of death. He gave me the strength to give away almost of my belongings, pack up my tiny little car with my clothes and a few other things, and drive 1300 miles to Texas to come live with my mother at her school. The Lord has done a complete make over with my mind, body and soul now that I am out of that lifestyle. I have been clean since I left and God is helping me deal one by one with the strong holds I have had since I was little. Some people may say that I have run away from my problems but I have come to realize that now that I am here, I am finally getting down to the nitty gritty and dealing with my problems. I have found out so much about myself in only 2 months. More than I have in my entire life. And besides saving me from death, God's blessings just keep on coming. For starters, all of the furniture that I gave away in AZ has been GIVEN back to me here ten fold. For example, I had a twin size bed back in AZ, when we got to the apartment in Texas I walked into my bedroom and now I had a full size bed. Also, I was scared it would be hard for me to find a job, but God said "Daughter, I got your back!" When I went on a job hunt after being in Texas for only 5 days, the first place I go to is a hotel (I had worked for the same brand in AZ). I brought the application in the next day and was hired on the spot. Glory be to God! After being at the job only a few days, my bosses had a birthday lunch for me with cake and a present. I have NEVER felt more welcomed and loved than I do now. I have made great friends that are encouraging and listen. The list goes on and on to tell how great God is. His word will never come back void. My favorite verse is Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord." My mom had given that verse to me at a time when I thought I had lost all my dreams in life. I didn't believe that verse at first but now I know God is faithful! I hope that this praise report/testimony gives hope to someone today. I know one thing is for sure, I am shaming the devil by the word of my testimony. Amen!
