With Passion

A year ago today I made a decision setting my life on an alternate course of redemption and destiny. I said, "no more" to the plaguing problems and polluted parts in my life and set sail on a journey, which would change me forever. A year ago today I built the courage to leave my hometown and move to Sacramento and checked into rehab.

It's funny what a sober mind teaches especially when accustomed to daily alcoholic streaks and destined to die of either liver cancer or an S.T.D. A year ago today, I figure if I would die, I would die in the pursuit of happiness, so I left. I spent three weeks in a Christian rehabilitation center and came out set on the wings of power. I don't look at alcohol the same way.

It used to be my best friend but "What A Friend [I] Have in Jesus?" It was my confidant when the world around forgot I existed but God step in and shook me to the contents of my soul and said, "You are mine!" I'd been in a six-year marriage with alcohol but today we've been divorce for one-solid-year. And I'm blessed.

I'm blessed because my soul is free…

Greyhound Bus Ticket to Sacramento: $35.00
The Cost to Stay Drunk for the Night: $12.00
A Normal Sack of "Yessy!" $10.00

Being able to wake up in the morning and look in the mirror: PRICELESS!!!

There are some things in life you pay for… for everything else there's Jesus.
