Glenn KrainockProverbs 14:12 – There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
As a young fella, I set out in life to "make it", to be somebody, to enjoy life to its fullest, never expecting my actions to take me where it did. I woke up at 32 years old in a hospital bed reflecting on the last 16 years of my life. I looked back at the year I spent behind bars in the military, the social drinking and drugging that led to an addiction that forced me into dealing and wondered how my life had gotten so turned around. What is even sadder is that I spent the next 12 years trying to escape the bondage that I was in. All the rehabs, meetings, interventions, anti-depressants and shrinks couldn't help me at all. I even gave up on God, losing all my hope welcoming the thought of dying. For me it was the only way out. I got my "wish" in 2005 when I found myself being admitted into the hospital with chest pains. My immune system had shut down, my heart was shot and my lungs full of fluid. With me lying in a coma, my family was told there was no way I was coming out of it and that they could only make me as comfortable as they could to make death a little easier for me. That was mans answer but God had another one.
I woke up a month later, not remembering anything but three visions I had. They told me I had died three times when I was in a coma and wouldn't be released for another month. I had to learn how to walk and talk again. God had yet another idea and I was released three days later walking and talking. Without a doubt Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me!!!
