I Am Redeemed

Today marks my 5th year anniversary (1/7/08) of being clean from crystal meth. No, the words don't deserve capitalization. Nothing about the drug deserves anything. In the years that I have remained clean, I have gone through stages of a better me. 

When I first got clean, very few believed it. Heck, I could hardly believe it myself sometimes. 

At first, I didn't come to Christ. I didn't come to Christ because things were so bad (as folks tend to do), I came to Christ because things were so good (a couple years later).

Life is worth so much more than I could have ever imagined. As much as I thought I knew about life, I knew nothing but how to use a crutch to get through every day. Without Him, I am nothing.

I am so Blessed to be Saved By His Grace.

• Humble
• Grace

The two words above are the basis for this entry. Below is where these two words led me:

2 Corinthians 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Luke 1:53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
