Recomitting Our Wedding Vows

After attending Celebrate Recovery for three years and working three seperate step studies and getting right with God, myself and the ones that I have hurt or have hurt me, I am ready. I started out an alcoholic and a drug user and sexual addicted person of 35 years before my life went into a total downward crashing spiril. I discovered a person I did not like at all. That person was me! I was molested by an older brother for many years and made some really bad choices because I thought I had the right to. I hurt many people through out those years including myself. After 2 years of sobriaty I was a mean and rageful person never have knowing that I was hurting so badly. I also didn't realize how badly I was hurting the ones I loved the most, God nad my family.

I have been completely sober for three years now and I no longer use drugs or any sexual distractions to hide what I used to be. I am a leader with C.R. and have totally committed my life to God and Jesus.

Recently at a C.R. large group I was teaching the lesson on (READY). It is where a person turns their life over to the control of God and is completely ready to admit and repent. At the end of the lesson, I offered up a prayer and then asked my wife to join me on stage. She, not knowing what I was up to looked at me with that Deer In The Headlights gazw and joined me at the podium. Try as I might to hold back the tears, I studdered to her in front of 70+ people, "Will You Marry Me Again"? She began to cry and said, "Give me a second to think". AHHHHHHHHH, she the siad YES.

On Thursday October 29th, exactly 15 years to the day we will recomit our vows to each other in front of an even bigger crowd of family, friends, fellow siblings in Christ and God. I am TRULY BLESSED!

Praise the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit!!!
