Addiction vs. Winter Storms

Posted by Stanice Anderson on 12/20/2009 in faith with No Comments

A young friend asked the following question on her Facebook page: I wonder how all the people who are used to getting (very) drunk/high are coping with being stuck in the house? So sad…

My response: so true. Back in the day, when I was using there was a 15″ snow. Shut the city down. But not me, I hitched rides from Anacostia DC to uptown 14th & V to cop. Like Smokey’s song stated so amply, “Ain’t no mountain high enuf, ain’t no valley low enough to keep me from getting to you.” But now by the grace of God I got a new song. “Ain’t gonna let nobody turn me around, I’m gonna walk on water when the ground ain’t enuf.” http://TryWalkingOnWater.com

What is your response? Got any 4-real stories you’re willing to share?

Share and Enjoy:

Who I Am

I'm an author, inspirational speaker, vocalist, and performance artist. I was a heroin addict saved from myself and the lifestyle (with all the pain that comes with it) but the mercy and grace of God. Thus, I am a late bloomer; but blooming none-the-less. I've yielded every talent given me, and am now using them to encourage, inspire, and motivate others to discover and lives God's marvelous plans for their lives. My books include my latest, Walking On Water When The Ground Ain't Enuf; I Say A Prayer For Me: One Woman's Life of Faith and Triumph (Warner); 12-Step Programs: A Resource Guide For Helping Professionals; and Contributing Author of SistahFaith: Real Stories of Pain, Truth and Triumph compiled by Marilynn Griffith (Howard/Simon&Schuster). I also perform a one-woman show with comedy infused throughout. It's who I am--by God's grace--one woman on a journey toward unwavering faith.
