It was wild seeing her and how thin she was. I thought about sad it was that she was going through such pain and knowing that the greatest source of strength was Christ and yet she didn't know that. I am so thankful for salvation and I'm amazed everyday at the mercy of God.Family lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299726144840059505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608179582804452358.post-16948535805541630832008-06-13T22:18:00.000-04:002008-06-13T22:18:00.000-04:00I used to watch Intervention, I actually used to g...I used to watch Intervention, I actually used to go to Al-Anon & AA, yes I was an alcoholic but only after I went to the classes I then became a coke/speed/pot smoker. I was raised to know there was a God but when that venom of alcohol and drugs hits the system, you see, hear, recognize nothing and none of the good is in your system at that point well at least to the point where I was. <BR/>For those of us who were strong enough to look in the mirror and see death and find fear and climb out of the hole we were in, we are now here non addicted and believing, holding on to our individual higher power to carry us through all our heartaches and all the destruction we put ourselves and others through. <BR/>I think you are a wonderful person to not enable but to lend a shoulder when that person needs a hand. <BR/>Some people like my ex has the addict monster in him he's been in and out of rehab various times. <BR/>If he doesn't feed that monster with Gods word the monster grows and grows and then consumes everything about him and he's out on the street scoring that dope, (please forgive me God if I wasn't strong enough to deal with his abuse towards me & my child) I recognized he was a wolf in sheeps clothing, it was time for me to leave the flock to the grand Shepherd. Am I making any sense?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608179582804452358.post-85381006913786044002008-06-12T21:13:00.000-04:002008-06-12T21:13:00.000-04:00I have often wondered the same thing -- how in the...I have often wondered the same thing -- how in the world can anyone get through life with all its pain and struggle and devastation without the hope and peace found only in Jesus?? Makes me thankful for His hand of protection and guidance on my life, even when it seems like at times things are spinning out of control. Thanks for this blog, Veronica. It reminds me to pray a little more fervently for those I know who are struggling through life without the Lord.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05989146741296793842noreply@blogger.com
