Today I Celebrate Seven (7) Years of Freedom!!!

God has really been good to me! - Before seven years ago, I was wrapped up, tied up, and a slave to smoking.  I lived, breathed and would scrape my last pennies together to buy a pack of cigarettes.  I don’t know how much they cost now but $4 or $5 was a lot to pay for the brand I smoked.  I am so glad to be free!  All I had to do was take the first step and God did the rest.  I decided that I wanted to be totally free and asked God to completely deliver me.  Since that day, May 14, 2008, I have never had any desire to smoke again.  I am truly grateful for being delivered.  When you “truly” decide to take the first step, which is wanting to be free, I mean, really wanting to be free, God will do the rest.  Trust, and Pray and never look back.  What a blessing it is.  Thank you my fellow Exers for all the encouragement you have given me in my journey.  God bless!!!
