Brandie Cosby Testimony Section 7 of 7

Sunday, I finally came to realize what had happened. My mother had been praying the whole time because she was worried, I was going to be like that for the rest of my life.

I originally walked into CWJC and told Mrs. Becky that I needed help getting back to work and get the required skills. I also walked into the doors of NA because CR was not available at the time in Nacogdoches. I was lost broken hopeless and I felt that I wanted my old life back but I could never have it back and that hindered me so much that I could not even think about my future in reality but I wanted to get a future at the same time so I came to North Point Church of God and that is when I found God again. I found that I had to forgive myself and others I found my identity in Christ I became independent of anybody I was trying to become I no longer needed love from anybody because I found love in Christ and I no longer needed the world to tell me who I would be or they no longer owed me anything in fact I wanted to serve everybody.

Through God I quit protecting myself and or seeking attention by about being loud and obnoxious I communicated when I felt pain and I allowed myself to be disappointed I no longer used substances to fill the void or to escape the pain instead I confront the pain. Thankfully took because of God I have the opportunity to serve people every Tuesday at festival park and I am allowed to be the be youth leader and I am the leader here at CR.

God Changed my life for the better and he can change yours too. Remember your lowest part of your hurt habit or hang up and then remember what it felt like to say I am clean and sober and keep both them memories for that hard days.

Remember 1st John 4:19 we love because he first loved us.
