@tasiaalexis I didn’t think I’d live past the age of 21. Addiction had me by the throat, and my life was in shambles. I was lost and beaten down so far that I couldn’t see a better life for myself. God said, “Do as I say, and your life will prevail.” I left my past of addiction behind and never looked back. Even the cravings disappeared. My kids are happy and healthy. Last month marked five years of marriage to the love of my whole life. This month marks two years of being homeowners. I’ll be 28 this month, and when I look at all that God has done in my life, I truly have no words other than THANK YOU, GOD. People say, “But you did the work.” I wouldn’t have been able to do it without God’s guidance and His grace over my life. #IAmLivingProof
