Before I came to Adult & Teen Challenge, I knew nothing about Christianity or God While I have been here in the program. I have realized what I have been searching for my whole life – God. He is the reason for my existence and purpose for being here on earth. I went to university, thinking that would give me purpose but once that was achieved, life felt pointless. I got married and didn’t feel so lost for a short time. I ended up getting divorced, thinking maybe that was now my answer. I ended up with a drug addiction, numbing that lost and useless feeling, putting my focus on getting that fix every day
I no longer feel lost. God has a purpose for me and it is bigger and better than I can ever imagine. A verse that stuck close to me is Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord, “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
