“God is making the difference...”

At 40, Ricky is old enough to have regrets - and young enough to have time left to fix them. He’s also learned that the key to starting over is to let God be in control. As he says, “God is making the difference...He has brought me such a long way. I was at the bottom, with no self-esteem. And now I am so happy!”...

Drifting through life

Ricky went to work in a fast food restaurant and took a feeble stab at getting his GED, but never completed the work because he skipped classes to smoke pot and drink. He began selling drugs and using crack cocaine, and a pattern emerged. He would get a job, rent an apartment, then lose it all because of his drug addiction. Eventually, he began to move in and out of homeless shelters. He tried rehab from time to time, but nothing worked. Ricky was just drifting through life...

Ricky believes God has a purpose for his life, and looks forward to a promising future.
