Out of the Darkness

“At one point, I overdosed…”

Out of the Darkness

Jim: The story I have is 100% God!!!  In the darkest days of my opiate addiction, I went to jail.  Then, I received a three-year sentence.  I had never been in trouble as a teenager or a young adult.

At one point, I overdosed and if God had not put air in my lungs, I would have died.  Nobody was around and nobody would have been there for days.

God knows our hearts and I went to Greater Cleveland Teen Challenge and completed that phase.  Then, I went on to Cape Girardeau Missouri where I completed an additional ten-month program.

Jesus Christ set me free from the bondage of drugs and alcohol!

Thank you, Lord, for your sovereignty and for calling me out of the darkness and into Your marvelous light!

“Jesus Christ set me free from the bondage of drugs and alcohol!"

Matthew likes to call the moment he decided to follow God his " Blue Couch" moment. When you craft your story, you can share your "Blue Couch" moment or other stories where you have seen God at work in your life.
