Brad
I started drinking at
14. Dad ruled with an iron fist, and mom tried
to protect us. It was
very confusing. Both of my parents were alcoholics.
I was a hard worker,
but lost jobs because of my drinking. I was a
printer for 28 yrs.
I’ve been married and divorced twice.
For twelve years I’ve
just been living life day to day. I became a
Christian 5 years ago,
but I was still a slave to alcohol. I was homeless
and came to the Bread
of Life Mission. I was immediately accepted and
felt comfortable right
away.
I knew I was supposed to be here. I was
in horrible physical
shape. But because of being at the Mission I’ve been
slowly getting healthy
again. I could barely walk across the street, but
now when the guys walk
with me, they have a hard time keeping up!
It’s like night and
day.
I joined the
Intern/Discipleship Program at the end of March. I work
in the front office and
I do bible studies and counsel with a pastor. Now I can understand
the bible much better.
I’ve been
growing by leaps and bounds. During this
time that I have been growing and changing, I’ve begun a
relationship with 3 out of 4 of my kids. It’s coming along.
I don’t know what the
future holds but I’m sharpening my skills and my self confidence is
being restored. I’ve made healthy friendships here in Holbrook and
am now going to 2 churches! The Lord has brought me a long way.
This
is exactly where I’m supposed to be. I
have a plan to wean off of my prescription drugs. I’m saving money,
learning to budget and am getting more and more stable each day. The
Lord has always had his hand on me, but when I came to the Bread of
Life, I forgave myself, and that was BIG. Now I’m falling in love
with Jesus more and more each day! |
