My life looked good from outside. I was well educated. I had a good job, etc... Something was missing anyway. I was broken from inside. I was somehow empty. I didn't know myself or my place in this world. I didn't know the meaning of my life. I was following others. Problems started to get bigger and alcohol took more and more place in my life. I didn't want to live anymore, just escape my life. I went through burn out and was deeply depressed and was medicated also. I gave up, or did I? I still wanted to get my life back and God was protecting me. Many people were praying for me and me too. I didn't want to drink anymore. I just couldn't stop. I had learned from my childhood to pray every night before going to bed. That famous children prayer, where it says in the end: "if I won't wake up, take me with you in Heaven" I had been praying that prayer my whole life. God was calling me to His presence through difficulties. He sent Jesus to my life. I didn't know what it meant but I decided to take a "risk". God was calling me and I said yes. I Took Jesus to my life and started my journey with Him. My best decision in my life !!!
How is my life now after three years? It is different Hallelujah !!! God has released me from alcohol. I'm not depressed anymore or need any kind of medication. I have got meaning to my life. I don't follow others anymore, I follow Jesus and I want to serve God. God has given me a new and better life. God is love and He wants to show it also. There are still challenges in my life but God is giving me peace and hope. God is giving me power to face those challenges of life and He wants to create new!
"Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland" (Isaiah 43:18-19).Thank you Jesus !
