I Failed To Mention An Important Date

One of the most important dates in our lives. Daniel has been clean now for 10 YEARS!!! I remember the days leading up too it, they were some of the hardest we have had. I had decided that it wasn't a good idea to be with Daniel in his state, especially since I had Kirsten, she was almost one at the time. Daniels Aunt had taken him to this place called Victory Outreach in Fairfield Ca. It was a men's home were people that were having addiction problems would go and learn who Jesus is and get clean. At the time Daniel was just not ready to go, but he knew that it was there just in case he changed his mind. Daniel was experiencing some crazy things in his life and contemplating doing some bad things. At that time he said a prayer, "God if you are real show me now, and I will stop everything and go in the men's home", at that time Daniel felt the Holy Spirit inside and knew it was him and stopped what he was doing. He called me on a pay phone crying, "I am ready this time", I then said "yeah right, you always say that", "no really, I am ready", "ok, I will be there in a few minutes". I drove down to were he was staying at that time, it was a pop up trailer that was on the side of the building were he worked, his boss was letting him stay there since he was homeless. I picked him up, he got in the car and started to cry uncontrollably, "take me there, I am ready", "ok I will". We drove to the men's home, the car was very quite, so much had happened in the days prior that I was still upset. Once I pulled up to the house he said,"I don't know if I am ready", in a crackled voice about to cry I said pointing my finger towards the house "go! it is time". He then was crying again, and hugged me so tight saying "I love you and Kirsten so much, I want to do this, bye". September 23, 1998. That was the day Daniel said goodbye to meth and became a child of God. That day the paths of our lives changed, if this never happened I wouldn't be were I am today. Thank you baby for being strong, thank you Jesus for forgiving my husband and giving him the choice of life. "I love you so much Baby, he are such a wonderful man, and you are continuing to grow and learn. 10 YEARS!!!! WOW YOU ROCK!!! If any of you have a chance to talk about this with Daniel, his testimony, it is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever heard and recommend you to listen. This kind of story is the kind that can change a life. For a long time Daniel didn't want people to know about it, but now he is proud to share it.
