I lived for myself most my life, caught in the desires of things

and feelings. I started drinking in 8th grade. I was by myself in
the beginning but quickly found older groups to hang with that
drank and smoked. I became a teenage alcoholic, which was
normal from my perspective. I met a girl I went to High School
with at a party. All of us in the group went through phases of
drug use. Some made it out, some didn’t. We did, but kept the

'
2/B7<523:7:/68C2/6A;7B6
lifestyle and the drinking. All the time
we were dating and sleeping together our
relationship was pretty shaky. We got into
a lot of fights and had lots of problems,
but we moved in together as soon as
I graduated and she quickly became
pregnant. So naturally we got married.
I worked as much as I could to try and buy
the latest and greatest stuff, neglecting
my family and falling deeper into
alcoholism. We seemed to be successful,
had a beautiful son, bought a house, had
four cars, a boat, hot tub, four wheelers,
parties every weekend sometimes every
night, living the dream. All the while my
life was falling apart behind my back. My
wife of four years left me for another guy
who had just a little bit more stuff than
me and paid a little more attention to her
than I did. She was pregnant with his son
while still married to me. I thought I had it
all but in an instant it was all ripped away.
The same thing that brought us together
tore us apart. I have never felt, or can
describe the feeling and pain of divorce.
In many cases I feel it’s worse than death.
The reality of the situation hit me so hard,
my life didn’t work. It failed. All that I had
done and worked for ended in pain.

At that point God came to me. He came to me at the ugliest time
of my life. I didn’t want God, but He wanted me. He chased me,
with hope and deliverance and with people. I gave up, gave in
and gave it all away. I asked God to help me, I couldn’t do it on
my own and I didn’t want this life anymore. The next morning
I woke up with the desire and hunger to drink completely gone,
overnight! It was a miracle. The desire to drink had been with me
most of my life. You can die for quitting drinking that fast. The
↳ Andy in High School.
Lord healed me. The story of my life since then has been that of
restoration and God-directed right choices. God has redeemed
the time in my life.
My mom invited me to dinner on a Wednesday night. On our
way we decided to go to Generation Church instead. As soon
as I stepped foot in the sanctuary I felt the presence of God like
never before. My life was forever changed. I made a commitment
to God that I would fully follow Him in every area of my life,
and He would restore me. Over the next four years God
supernaturally rebuilt my life. I got plugged into the
best church and small group that helped grow my relationship
with God. I can’t believe the people He surrounded me with.
Through the Word, prayer and obedience to the pastors and
leaders speaking into my life, I found the right way to live; God’s
way. It took years to wash my mind of the foul life I was accustom
to, but with God’s grace I lived a life of higher standards and
purity set apart for His purpose and His will for my life.
When it came time for me to date again, I didn’t want my old
life to happen again and step out of all of what God had done for
me. I wanted to do it right, God’s way. I wanted to live the same

life of consecration
while dating and in
marriage. I prayed
and asked God to
bring my wife into
my life. The one
He had for me, and
I would wait for
her. Soon after that
prayer God picked the apple from the top
of the tree for me. The most beautiful,
holy, anointed woman of God started
hanging out with me and my friends.
She was on staff at GC and practically a
pastor. I thought that only pastors could
date pastors. I looked up to her as a leader
and admired her love for God and people.
I thought more than once, “How in the
world can a guy with a past like mine
ever get to date such a gift of a person as
Kacee?” My chance to be around her came
after staying late at a GC service, a few
of us would be left including Kacee and
we would all go out to Red Robin to eat. I
started to really like Kacee, but I waited
a long time to get her phone number. We
always hung out in groups. When she
invited me to a Christmas party I realized
she had feelings for me too and God was
about to answer my prayer.
First I asked her dad. Then I asked our
Senior Associate Pastor, and my pastor.
They all said yes! I could go on a date!
The first time Kacee and I were alone
was going to dinner four months after we
started hanging out. It was amazing and
right. God continued to bless and grow
our relationship. Kacee and I agreed to
not get physical but to continue to get
to know one another. We didn’t want to
compromise our destiny. Kacee and I found out that we are so
right for one another in so many ways and it is truly a divine fit.
At summer camp I asked God to speak to me about marrying
Kacee. It turned out after camp God had spoke to both of us,
and soon after I asked Kacee to be my wife. She said yes! Not
once during our nine months of dating did we cross the line. We
honored God with our relationship. God blessed our engagement,
our wedding and our honeymoon in everyway possible. It was
the most beautiful process of my life. My son Cameron loves
Kacee and family has been restored to my life. We all go to
church on Sunday as a family now. I can hardly believe how
good my life is because of the grace and mercy of God. He truly
pulled me from the mire and set me on a rock. He has blessed me
beyond what I imagined. She is my reward for doing it right.

“Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort
in the Lord Jesus that you should abound
more and more, just as you received from
us how you ought to walk and to please
God; for you know what commandments we
gave you through the Lord Jesus. For this
is the will of God, your sanctification: that
you should abstain from sexual immorality;
that each of you should know how to
# #!
possess his own vessel in sanctification
and honor, not in passion of lust, like the
Gentiles who do not know God.”

“Because of this, God gave them over to shameful
lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations
for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also
abandoned natural relations with women and were
inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed
indecent acts with other men, and received in
themselves the due penalty for their perversion.”

“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not
commit adultery.’ “But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman
to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
—MATTHEW 5:27-28 (NKJV)

“I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl.”

“I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually
immoral people. Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually
immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners,
or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But
now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named
a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a
reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a
person.” —1 CORINTHIANS 5:9-11
