I know, I know, I know. I'm sorry. I haven't blogged FOREVER. I think having 2 detailed posts eaten before they were published turned me off from blogging for a while. But I'm back, kind of. I don't have internet access at my house so I have to go to the "Davis-Thomas Library" which is a double-wide trailer in between my town, Davis, and the next town, Thomas. Neither towns are big enough for their own library (or their own elementary school for that matter).

I LOVE my job. LOVE it! I've had the opportunity to share my testimony with all of my coworkers and most of the kids I work with. When I tell the kids I have been drug free for 5 years they really start listening. When I tell them that my Source freed me from addiction and I no longer even crave drugs they hang onto my every word. It's intimidating how closely they start listening to me. I tell them their Source has to be bigger than their addiction, and they agree.

The other day we were all sitting in the living room of the girl's house having a discussion about what our Source was. Again, I had the opportunity to tell the girls my testimony of being a drug addict, hearing about and accepting God's love, turning from my old ways, and as a result I am who I am today: drug free, and living every day for God. During the discussion, every one of the girls identified their Source as God.

The kids have the option to go to church every Sun morning, and Wed. night. At least half of them go, praise God! The students are asking for and reading Bibles! Praise God! I am so encouraged by what God is doing in these kids! I love that I get to use my sinful past for the glory of God!

I went to a church that I really liked on Sun. I'll be going back. I really hope there are some young Christians down here. Right now the few friends I have are really into new age spirituality. They both turned away from the church for different reasons. It's interesting that these are the friends God has given me.

I love that God has sent me here to this place! I love that he is using my testimony in a powerful way and that young addicts and troubled kids are giving their lives over to him! Praise be to God!
