| Two Friends Transformed By God |
|
| |
5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
B. roamed around the country for many years, drinking and using drugs. Once he was sleeping in the woods in Mississippi and heard noises. He looked in that direction and saw a group of white men lynch two black men. Fortunately they never saw, B.
Another time B. was hitch hiking and was offered a ride with a group of men who were riding in the back of a pick up truck. As the truck was going full speed down the highway, the men began to rough B. up and to pelt him with racial insults. Then they wrapped him in a blanket and threw him off the speeding truck.
After years of wandering, homelessness, and addiction, B. checked himself into a Christian rehab. He has now been clean and sober for three years by the power of Jesus Christ. B. is an awesome individual who has a wonderful attitude. He is also a powerfully inspiring singer.
D. was also a drug user. She was hooked on heroin. After years of despair and hopelessness someone told her about Teen Challenge, so she went through the program and encountered Jesus Christ. Today D. has a wonderful family and is one of the most inspiring speakers I have ever heard. D. has been clean and sober for 20 years.

| This is one of my favorite verses. In the Passion of the Christ as he was stumbling with the cross Jesus turned to Mary and said "See Mother, I make all things New" That was when I broke into sobs. whoa! |

| B and D can now witness to others who need to make this change in their life as well. I am so glad my mom is sober now, it's just a shame that she waited for her children to be grown because she missed out on so much! I am so glad they realized that they had value before the addictions killed them. They can now go forward and speak life into the children of addicts and possibly stop the cycle in it's tracks. I know all kids say that they do not want to be like their parents, but so many end up that way. I committed my life to Christ at 13 and I have never caved into the pressure to do drugs or mess with things that were dangerous. I have brothers and sister that did and they are now clean and sober, praise God, but I wish they never would have triedthem in the first place. I am excited for B and D and what they can offer to the youth of their community and in their personal choices, they went through experiences that they can share with others and help them change their lives. I will not only pray for their continued success, but I will pray their stories will impact many! Praise God! |
