If it weren’t for the voice of Jesus Christ, I would have laid there and died. But because of Him, I found the strength to get up—and make it to a safe place: Keepers of the Cross Transformation House. This is where I belong, and I don’t ever want to leave.

Since being here, everything has changed. I have no more anger. No more hate. What fills me now is peace, love, compassion, and everything good. I don’t have to live the way I used to—I don’t even want that life anymore.

Today, I’m here to please God, and I’m doing that the best way I know how.
