Just a few years ago I could not imagine being happy about laying on the couch reading, listening to music, or even watching football (errrr snoring)... or hiking on weekends or hanging out with those christians everyday. I do remember thinking about how miserable those poor christian people must be that they need a guy in the sky to direct their lives or that people would have such a boring uneventful life as to consider laying on the couch and listening to music on a Saturday night as fun and exciting. I couldnt imagine not smoking. I couldnt imagine seeing my daughter ever again. I couldnt imagine not chasing dysfunctional relationships. I couldnt imagine being able to afford to travel. I could not imagine not being drunk every night ... and I couldnt imagine a time when I wouldnt sell my bed, or tv, or car so that I could buy substances to inject. I couldnt imagine a time when my children would be willing to speak with me. I couldnt imagine a book with ancient words and crazy descriptions of miracles could have any relevance to me. That this invisible yet omniscient Heavenly Father could choose to love me ... that His love would be so bold, so effectual, so unending as to convince me to just stop running and just start loving is overwhelming to me. I chose self and substances, God chose to love. He did this ... With God, everything is possible. Now, I can only imagine...
