My dad, Ed is sharing his story with everyone. I want everyone to hear this story and be reminded that God is always there no matter where you are and that He can rescue you if you take a leap of faith and believe. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Here's the summary of the story:
The date was November 14, 1992. I was going to meet some friends at a sports bar to watch the Pitt game. My goal was to get hammered and I achieved my goal.
A friend drove me home and I was pretty out of it. I started to get sick so I went to the bathroom shut the door and started to throw up. When I was done I was sitting on the bathroom floor beside the toilet when I heard a voice say "it's OK. You don't have to do this anymore". I just sat there and heard it again only this time the voice said "it's OK. You don't have to do this anymore. I forgive you". It was a deep man's voice. I said "what?". And again the voice said "you don't have to do this anymore. I forgive you.". Then my wife knocked on the bathroom door and said "are you OK?" I said "how long have you been out there"? She said "I just got here". I told her to come in here. She came in the bathroom and I asked her if she heard anything and she "like what?" I said " a man's voice". She said "no". I said God just told me it was OK and I don't have to do this anymore and He forgives me. I was instantly sober and had a ton of energy. I wanted to tell the world what just happened. We went to a couple friends houses and I told them. I completely gave up drinking for two years. I even tried it again and didn't like it.
To this day, I can still hear God saying " it's ok. You don't have to do this anymore. I forgive you ".
