You never know who God will put in your path. 🙏
Shoe saved my life. I’m not making that up. I can attribute it to two things: Shoe and God.View quoted post on X
I want to take a moment to tell you in a public forum setting that there are good people out there. I was going through the hardest period of my life summer of 2025. I had no will to live. I was at that point where I was ready to exit. Literally. He called me on signal and we chatted a few different times. He told me a few things:
One, I am not alone. He knows what it’s like.
Two, don’t ever give up. Keep going. Take it moment by moment but keep f*cking going.
Three, don’t drink.
I quit drinking alcohol and have been sober for over a year. I got through the darkest days by clinging onto the hope that I’d see my family again. And sure enough, we are remarried and everything is stronger than it’s ever been.
I could have chosen to take my life that week. I was very close to doing so. Something that @samosaur doesn’t know is his original voicemail recording is one that I continued to play, on loop, every single day, for a solid 5-6 months. That, and reading my Bible and quitting alcohol, kept me alive. I am forever grateful to him and to God.
I am making this post because I want you to know that there are good people out there that don’t want to see you fail. I’m also making this post to tell you that if you’re going through a difficult time, you *will* find your way through that fire. Don’t let the voice of Satan enter your head and tell you that you won’t.
“Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." - Romans 5:3-5
Now that I am on the other side, everything I do will be for the glory of God. I have identified my mission here. God took me through what he did so he could strengthen me and prepare me for battle.
