I am not re-posting this to make much of myself, but what the power of the Gospel of Grace has when it is proclaimed. This is what makes it worth it! When i was 23 years old, after years of unexplainable out bursts, fits of rage and violence, i was given a diagnoses of Bipolar disorder, with Borderline Personality disorder. The doctors told me that being Bipolar was like being a diabetic, that i NEEDED my medicine, or i would NEVER be able to function normally in society. In fact, they told me i would die... its funny, because i had 5 suicide attempts on my medicine. Ive struggled with many different addictions in my life. In 2008 & 2009, i went to rehab, where they told me my addictions were a disease and that i would be an addict my entire life. Once an addict, always an addict. In 2011, i began using meth and that addiction got way out control. It was like the devil had some kind of hold on me... constantly lying to me, telling me how worthless i was and what a useless junky i was. In turn, i used more and more, to numb my pain and drown out the voices. Only making my addiction more powerful and my pain much deeper. Guilt and shame ran my life. I tried so hard to quit. Even going to a sober living program, that was faith based... but, still, i couldnt quit. I used up until the day after Thanksgiving, 2013. I had visited Cross Timbers Ministries... (where Andrew, here in this video is the pastor) in the summer of last year. I honestly hadnt ever heard the grace message and to me, he made NO sense. I quit attending church, but kept him as a friend on facebook. And with reading his posts, praying and studying my Bible (in a new way, searching for Jesus... asking for revelation) i had my own personal revelation of Christ and who i am, in HIM! My life changed! I got clean, November 29th being my first day at a new beginning. I began going to church, nearly every Sunday and Wednesday... and the more i learned, the easier it got to change. Like, things just began changing, effortlessly. When we find our identity in who Jesus is, chains are broken! Not only am i NOT an addict any longer, i no longer see myself as a CRAZY person. Hi, my name is Tiffany... Im a grateful believer of Christ Jesus. Im no longer an addict, i dont have to struggle, and neither do you.
