“God told me to hold up the sign today. I have been putting it off and finally said okay. When I pulled up and parked, fear grabbed ahold of me. I prayed and realized it wasn’t about me. God helped take my fear away. There has been a lot of horn-honking and waving. If this touches one life, my work is done. My goal is to hold the sign in different places, wherever God tells me to go. I am not working right now. I have an interview on Wednesday. I may get my faith from my mom. She is bedridden, but always says, ‘Praise God.’ She uses her phone to encourage people by text and email.

Today is my 25th AA anniversary of getting clean and sober. I have been very involved in my recovery and still go to the meetings. Things got worse before they got better. There are still times that I want to run when things get bad. But I always come back to God. I want to help others who have been through the same thing. There is a lot of opportunity for God’s work to be done. I just want to be obedient. I have been out of work several times during the last 25 years. I get down to the last dollar and a job or money comes through. God has never let me down. He keeps building my trust and I want to serve Him more.”
