“I’m learning what it takes to have a personal relationship with God, and that I’m not broken beyond repair.”

What was life like for you before House of Cherith?

I spent my life running from God. I thought I knew better, but my best thinking had gotten me addicted. I was a hopeless dope shrouded in darkness. I was lost and on a suicide mission - I didn’t care what happened to me, and my behavior/choices reinforced and solidified it.

What have you been learning while at House of Cherith?

I have learned that the Lord loves me; I haven't ever heard or felt that before now. I’m learning what it takes to have a personal relationship with God, and that I’m not broken beyond repair. I’m also learning what a healthy fear of God truly means. 

What are your goals and hopes for the future?

I just want stability. I want to feel whole and not feel that void in my life. I would love to be strong in my faith and in my walk with Christ.
