I was nothing special.
Now I am what God has laid out for me to be.. Who would not be proud of that?
When a lamp is lit, does one hid the light under a bush?
If you are admitting, as I think you are, that other people can do the same, why use your experiences to try and demonstrate your beliefs are true?
My experiences are points of contrast for me. Reasons to keep knocking even when things are bleak. Often time when we seek proof the answer can be found in the formula in which Miricals of Christ day were experienced. Not that a herion recovery is considered to be a mirical now a days.
What I am speaking to is being placed in a situation that is impossible to get out of on your own.
Like with herion yes there are programs, but it they all still require the will to see them through.. 10 years of addiction means ones will to see a program through is all but non existent.
We had to endure a season, but when it was time to move past that trial God turned off a switch in my wife, and she did not need the multi thousand dollar programs, or the endless meetings or any of the other stuff we typically need to move past this sort of addiction.
Again, this may not be a mirical but it follows the pattern or outline miricals follow In That the outcome would not be possible without help. Now multiply these type events over and over and over again. Then mix in direction from the Spirit, which for me has produced unbelievable results and while maybe one or two of these things can be explained away, tens of not hundreds of examples can not all be explained away as 'good luck' or sheer will.
