I want to give thanks and praise to God; He is working a miracle of a restored life in me. It's not me, if it was just me I would be, at best, dead. Instead, I find myself doing what has been impossible for me to do before now. Consider the following: I struggled with video gaming, it had become an addiction that I was unable to break free from. I fasted video games during our 21 days in January, and not only haven't played them since, I don't feel like playing them. This is the longest and healthiest video game free streak I have had. Instead, I found myself drawn to learning and upgrading my skills; I was able to start tearing down those false beliefs that I couldn't do schoolwork. I have some hard financial struggles, and have a harder-than-normal time finding jobs with the service-related trauma I wrestle with. I started tithing regularly, not the full 10 percent but I am stepping up to reach it. God showed me a new way of running my budget that makes sense, helps me to see where and when I'm spending and is very healthy. I could keep going, but God keeps healing, restoring and growing my children and I. Speaking of children, it is God and this church who restored my daughter and I to a healthy relationship. Praise and glory all belong to God, my (and your) restorer and redeemer and His Son our Savior, Jesus.
