Your plan got you here and Gods plan is to meet you here.” Needless to say I stuck it out and now I’m fully recovered and healed of addiction.

I came to a place where I ran out of options, and I was tired of running. I asked my mom to help me, and she found Sonrise Ranch. A couple months later I entered the program on November 9th, 2004. I have been drug free since. Not only that, but I attended Bible college, got married to my beautiful wife and have two boys, and currently serve as the Campus Pastor at Sonrise.
