I have kept this pic hidden bc it was one of the most humiliating moments of my life & I look disgusting from the drugs but this is real & who I was. On 11/12/2014 I was pulled over by highway patrol & charged with a felony drug charge. I remember being so pissed in that moment but looking back at the magnitude of that moment I’m grateful & give thanks for it. This exact moment showed how God was always there pursuing me, no matter how far away I ran, he never left my side. It Showed his unfailing love for me. Also, it has shown me that no matter how many mistakes I’ve made or how far away from him I run, God does not demand my obedience, he questions & challenges my actions, just like he did Paul on the road to Damascus & it’s up to us to choose him. When I was in the front seat of that cop car, The cop looked at me before we pulled off & gave me a heart to heart, handed me a pic of my daughter and said is she worth this? I didn’t realize in that moment, how monumental everything was. I was pulled in a state, Where I knew maybe 10 people. I was an hour away from where I lived, didn’t know anyone’s number & was on the way to the slammer. As I was being put into the cop car, someone I knew had driven by, AN HOUR FROM WHERE WE LIVED. As humiliating as it was, it had to happen that way otherwise no one would have known I was going to jail. Luckily for me, it was my first offense & I was able to get an SIS Probation of 5 years. At first I didn’t give a crap, but 25 days later I decided this wasn’t my life & 6 years ago today I made the choice to stop using my drug of choice & I completed my SIS probation & have a clean record. It was hard, it sucked, sometimes I wanted to give up. I still have issues from the mistakes I made then, but now I know what redemption feels like, now I soak in that grace he still gives me daily. Now I know what true love is & what it means to be a child of God & no drug will ever take that from me. I felt like my life was over 6 years ago, but really it was just the start of a new life I didn’t know was possible. #mondaymotivation #wedorecover #wedorecoverchallenge #mondayvibes #cleandate #poshmarkseller #reseller (at Rogersville, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIhqSQNFOjZ/?igshid=1pyxz4a18ghya
