    I am a believer in Jesus Christ. The Lord has removed many sins from me. I have overcome alcoholism and drug addiction. By the grace of God I have 23 years of sobriety. I have been freed from cigarettes for 21 years thanks be to God. I have overcome a critical, judgmental spirit through the conviction of the Holy Spirit. I have grown considerably in patience. I can even prayerfully accept and forgive people that hurt me. I have been released from an angry spirit and hatred. My Savior has forgiven me and through Jesus I can forgive too. He has even freed me from the condemnation that followed me around like a dark cloud for decades. If Jesus forgives me through Him I can forgive myself. I have had victory in relationship addiction.  For 9 years now I have remained single. I once made my boyfriends the source of my worth, but for 9 years I have kept my heart seeking only God for my sense of worth. I am still a work in progress. I struggle with co- dependency. I have a 15 year old son that is an atheist. I love him terribly and can't yet accept God's will for him if he is not to be saved. I pray to love the Lord more than my son. I pray for his salvation.
