I can say today—I don’t want to die anymore. I want to live. And more than that, I want to live for God.

For most of my life, I’ve been a runner—always trying to escape the pain, the past, the truth. But when I came to Keepers Transformation House, God told me something that stopped me in my tracks: “Be still, and know that I am God.” That simple truth changed everything. I had to learn how to trust Him—really trust Him—and I’ve been doing just that ever since.

I’m not saying I haven’t been tempted to run again. The thought crosses my mind. But I made a promise to God: I’d give Him this year, and every year after. And that promise has kept me grounded.

Now, I’m standing still, rooted in faith—and finally, I’m living.
