of my direction. Every week, I would work on one chapter, then
on Sunday – guess what the pastor talked about. Yes, you got it,
EXACTLY what I was working on about myself. This went on
throughout the whole book with not one different subject from the
book.
This book and my circumstances helped me to realize that being
abandoned or rejected was not so devastating after all. And God at
the end of His program for me at that time gave me back my heart.
I’ve been protecting my heart so much with such a barrier up that I
could not feel a thing. I was given by Him the gift of taking a
chance on getting hurt in order to experience love again. At this
point, I never became addicted again.
Crack might be one of the worst, but to anyone with any addiction,
whether it’s food, pot alcohol (which is a drug), or anything else
that you must do or idolize someone, or take part of – and you can’t
honestly manage your life – it is serious! You are addicted and
are heading into dangerous and demonic territory, strife, and pain.
Only 1 out of 1000 serious crack addicts make it. The rest are
either dead, going to die or still out there. It is the

lloneliest and humiliating life. I remember several times when
God had to have kept my heart beating when I should have been dead.
Fortunately now, I have chosen not to go there, and it has been a long
time. I don’t count the days or years, and I’m not incapable of
doing it again, but I know it would be temporary. I would just
discover once again why I would not want to do it. Praise the
Lord. I hope this has helped you out there.
Tad went through many trials even after dealing with recovery. A new life
began for him, and he was
put on an "advanced course" to catch up with the rest
of the mature, strong Christian men. This
includes dealing with pride, low
self-esteem problems, getting centered in his beliefs, going through
the longest
school of ministry at his church (two years) - and graduated with only half of
the class
remaining.
Tad submitted to several Pastors, some still very
close friends. Many persecutions have
come from peers who were taught to judge
and not love has strengthened Tad. He is not afraid to
confront anyone and
tell it like it is, but he's kind about it. He had to deal with his pride
and still has
to cope with it at times. He's come a long way and is
surrounded by people who love him and look out for him.
Tad knows one
thing... God will continue what He started with this ministry, and no man will
stop it. Over anything else, this one thing has become very obvious!
WARRIOR looks forward to reaching
more people more than ever before. WARRIOR
has big dreams and God is going to fulfill them - just like
He backed David!
Come watch and see.... and enjoy the music too!
