A friend and I had a conversation a couple of weeks ago which led to this post.
I am the beautiful woman I am today because Father took me…a user and an abuser…and cleaned me up. Once, I was deaf, dumb, and blind…toxic and dirty…and He gave me ears to hear, eyes to see, and a mouth to speak. I was dead and He gave me life. He took a broken child and repaired me. He made me Holy…set me apart. Instead of being dependent on alcohol…and other drugs of this world, He purified my addictions…making my addiction…Him. My sobriety is having a clean and sober mind. A mind addicted to and obsessed with Him…the truth. The rock upon which I have built my house. An immovable rock.
Am I still an addict? Yes…my addiction is Him. It is a pure addiction. A purified obsession. A Holy relationship that has gone through the fires of Heaven…and the fires of Hell. All addictions were burned away in the purification fire…leaving only Him. His truth. Him.
He is my life. I owe it all to Him. If it were not for Christ…I would have been taken from this Earth many times over in my excessiveness of addiction. Now…He can take me from this Earth a clean and sober woman because I LIVED and breathed for Him.
In this video, I share how I became the radical woman I am today and why that came to be.
