Mama C's Boasting Blog - Day 4

Psalm 34:1
I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Yesterday I broke the news to my students that this Friday will be my last day with them.  Some of them took it pretty hard, others were just moderately sad, and still others seemed void of any emotion whatsoever.  There are a few very special ones that I will carry in my heart always.  Jessica, Daniel, Wayne, Jaborious, Jai...I guess I may have to skype myself into their classroom before the year is up.  I think they would get a kick out of that.  In the meantime, I hope the seeds I have planted in them will grow forth good fruit.  They are in God's hands now, and that is the best place for them to be.  I know God can do the miraculous in their lives because I am living proof of that.  Some of the evidence of that is in today's boast:

I remember when a young man in my 11th grade homeroom class witnessed to me about Jesus and how much the Lord loved me.  That young man planted seed in me that definitely ended up bearing good fruit.  Although he never got to see the result of his seeds, it was his words that eventually led to me crying out to the Lord for help with my drug addiction.
I remember that day like it was yesterday.  I was 19 years old and severely hooked on meth.  My arms were black and blue from missing my veins so many times, and I felt like I just wanted to die.  I cried out, "God, are you real?  That boy and my mom both say that you are real, but how do I know that for sure?  That boy at school keeps telling me that Jesus loves me and that I just need to have "faith".  I don't know what that is or what it means, but if you are real, give me this thing called faith."
I won't go into the entire testimony right now, but suffice it to say that God showed up and showed out!  He gave me that thing called faith, I asked Jesus into my heart to be the Lord of my life, and I got miraculously delivered from drug addiction! I have now been free for almost 30 years and never even had to fight the temptation of it ever again.  Now that's worth boasting about!  God is awesome!
