Every year on Labor Day, I celebrate the anniversary of the day I found TRUE REST from the labor of addiction. My true rest was found in a Person, the LORD Jesus Christ!

I give God glory for His faithfulness to keep me by His power!

Let me tell you about my Jesus!

Can it really be 50 years ago today that the Lord saved me? I will always remember that morning of June 10, 1971—the beautiful day God chose to draw me to Himself through His Son, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Perspective…the lens we see life through—makes all the difference! In photography, the aperture is the opening in a lens through which light passes to enter the camera. Just as the pupil is the aperture of the eye—God’s Word is the aperture of the heart! The more light we let into our heart, the more clearly we see life.

What’s the one thing we DO need to be addicted to?

My eyes were on the road ahead with my hands planted firmly on the steering wheel. I was completely sober and finding myself in the very act of living a simple, peaceful, normal, life...

No matter where we are in our life at any given moment, He is right there with us. There’s no other friend like Jesus!

I was only sorry I couldn’t stop drinking and taking drugs. I didn’t see the sinfulness of my actions the way God did. I had no understanding of how devastating my sin was to my loved ones. I was only thinking of myself—trapped in the satanic stronghold of self-pity…

Someone is needing hope right now. Are you or someone you love trapped in the terrible cycle of addiction? I am writing to share with you the REAL HOPE for complete deliverance from that stronghold!

A testimony of real hope for the addicted and their loved ones.

One of the beautiful miracles of salvation is that no matter our lot, it can be well with our soul.

I looked up one day as I sat at the desk of a virtuous woman who impacted my life.  On the wall directly in front of her desk was a paper with these words…

Do you have a loved one who is struggling with the stronghold of addiction? Have you found yourself losing hope?

My eyes struggled to open until I was met with glints of moonlight still streaming through the bedroom window.  I felt the old familiar waves of anxiety flood over my body and through my mind. The last remnants of a nightmare dispelled into thin air as I tried to make sense of it all. But only the aftermath remained, a muffled panic...

My eyes were on the road ahead with my hands planted firmly on the steering wheel.  I was completely sober and finding myself in the very act of living a simple, peaceful, normal, life...

Each of us face adversity in this life. It’s how we face adversity and what we understand about it that makes all the difference. The Christian life is a place of Higher learning—receiving our instruction from the Most High. : )

I can tell you, it’s amazing how much beauty and joy there is in celebrating reality instead of escaping from it! 

The Christian life is an exciting adventure full of ups and downs, and yes, hard times—but we don’t have to do this life alone...
