“You Can Be Free”

This week’s post is a little (a lot) different.

Brace thyself.

So…

Last night, I participated in an open-mic night at Busboys & Poets.

For people outside of D.C., it’s a really neat restaurant/bookstore that’s known for its open mics and spoken word poetry competitions.

Anyways!

I was blessed to be able to share my addiction deliverance testimony there last night thanks to the wonderful host Charity Blackwell who not only allowed me to go over the allocated 5-minutes but also made me the spontaneous “Spotlight” as well.

Guys.

God is so good.

So without further ado, below is the video of me sharing “You Can Be Free,” and if you take nothing else away, please know…

There is hope.

There is healing.

There is freedom from addiction.

And to the boy who came up to me, if you ever read this, you will never know how profoundly grateful I am that you came up to me afterwards and told me that what I said resonated with you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

And to anyone else who has addiction as a part of your story, this one was for you.
