Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! (2 Corinthians 5:17)
I haven't always been the personI am today. My life was a lot different before I started walking with Jesus. I was a foul mouth alcoholic. I did things that people looked down on. I was a manipulator of people and circumstances. I say was because I am a new person in Christ. My old self has been crucified with Christ and raise to new life in Him. Can I consume alcohol? Absolutely not! However, I have no cravings for alcohol. God has removed it from me. I'm an imperfect person, living in an imperfect world. I struggle just like all people do. But because of my relationship with God my struggles look different today. I handle them differently, without alcohol. Let me say, I'm not a mental health professional. I have an AA degree in Chemical Dependency Counseling and a BA in Pastoral Ministry. I'm not here to fix you. My purpose is to share my journey and Jesus. My goal is to provide hope and encourage. I pray that as I share from my heart, you will find strength for you journey. Life is tough. Many will say it's unfair. We are not meant to travel through life alone. We are stronger together. Let's start a journey together.
