I now have my own place to live (not far from the HOH) which gives me access to Ms. Rosie whenever I need her. She is always there like a mother to listen and comfort me when life throws me a curve ball. I also have my own vehicle. I am grateful for Ms. Rosie and the help she offered me while at the HOH. The eight months that I lived at the HOH I took what Ms. Rosie had taught me to survive my addiction. One thing that I am really grateful for me is my renewed faith in God. I pray and attend church on a regular basis.
There are days that I still feel like giving up, however I pick up my cross and bear it. I am now waiting on a court date to try and regain custody of my two other sons whom I haven’t seen in 15 months. I know that in God’s timing, and if I remain sober and don’t give up, I will soon have custody of them, too.
I can’t thank God enough for putting such a loving, caring, and spiritual person as Ms. Rosie in my life to help me along this journey. I now know that He never had plans for me to walk along. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Those are the words I stand on..
