I have kept this pic hidden bc it was one of the most humiliating moments of my life & I look disgusting from the drugs but this is real & who I was. On 11/12/2014 I was pulled over by highway patrol & charged with a felony drug charge. I remember being so pissed in that moment but looking back at the magnitude of that moment I’m grateful & give thanks for it. This exact moment showed how God was always there pursuing me, no matter how far away I ran, he never left my side. It Showed his unfailing love for me. Also, it has shown me that no matter how many mistakes I’ve made or how far away from him I run, God does not demand my obedience, he questions & challenges my actions, just like he did Paul on the road to Damascus & it’s up to us to choose him. When I was in the front seat of that cop car, The cop looked at me before we pulled off & gave me a heart to heart, handed me a pic of my daughter and said is she worth this? I didn’t realize in that moment, how monumental everything was. I was pulled in a state, Where I knew maybe 10 people. I was an hour away from where I lived, didn’t know anyone’s number & was on the way to the slammer. As I was being put into the cop car, someone I knew had driven by, AN HOUR FROM WHERE WE LIVED. As humiliating as it was, it had to happen that way otherwise no one would have known I was going to jail. Luckily for me, it was my first offense & I was able to get an SIS Probation of 5 years. At first I didn’t give a crap, but 25 days later I decided this wasn’t my life & 6 years ago today I made the choice to stop using my drug of choice & I completed my SIS probation & have a clean record. It was hard, it sucked, sometimes I wanted to give up. I still have issues from the mistakes I made then, but now I know what redemption feels like, now I soak in that grace he still gives me daily. Now I know what true love is & what it means to be a child of God & no drug will ever take that from me. I felt like my life was over 6 years ago, but really it was just the start of a new life I didn’t know was possible. #mondaymotivation #wedorecover #wedorecoverchallenge #mondayvibes #cleandate #poshmarkseller #reseller (at Rogersville, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIhqSQNFOjZ/?igshid=1pyxz4a18ghya

So. I was looking at my colorstrology today.  Weird stuff.  I looked at my birthday and it was yellow something....well.  when I got home and was thinking about it I tried to google it and what came up was the book, on google books, and the preview which doesnt have all the pages but some of them.  Well, March 23rd, my clean date came up.  And at the bottom of the page it has 3 "compatible" days with it.  One of which is my birthday....August 2nd.  Kinda pointless and random but I wanted to share.
