"I've learned
that through God you can conquer anything."
At age 44, Dale Washington
literally got sick of his life.
I started drinking at a
young age, he explained. It got so bad, I had to have
a drink or I would be sick. I knew it had to stop. I couldnt
hold jobs.
Dale then decided to seek
help at Kokomo Rescue Mission where he made a decision to turn
his life over to God. He works in the Missions Care &
Share Store. He also takes advantage of every opportunity to grow
spiritually through the New Life Program.
Everyday, I pray to God
that He would take that urge to drink away from me, and He has
been doing that, said Dale. I had to change my
friends too.
Dale credits his wife Bonnie
of 20 years for laying a Christian foundation with him. I
always believed in God I just believe now on a more in-depth
level.
Within a year, Dale would
like to be able to support his family on his own. I want to
be a better husband and father (to his 16-year-old son Dale).
Now,
my family looks at me differently. I can hold my head up. I feel
good about myself. My whole family has been behind me. They have
my back, and I am not gong to let them down
or God either.
I
think this can be a good place for someone with problems,
said Dale. But you have to let them help you. The rules are
there for a reason. The rebellious ones dont make it. Ive
learned that through God, you can conquer anything.
