Matthew 14:27 "But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, 'Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.'"

On April 20th a year or 2 ago, I overdosed on concentrated hallucinogens in the form of white chocolate bites. I nearly died! The whole situation was a fiasco that inevitably changed my life. I ended up walking to the nearest Fred Meyers talking a million miles an hour manically explaining to my friend how I needed to spray paint this message to the world. My emotions were intense and I had no control over them. I don't know how my hand got to my phone, but I ended up calling my mom while I was majorly tripping out. I was trying to explain to her that I knew God existed. I don't think I was comprehensive though. I guess I was just yelling into the phone about how I was going to Fred Meyers, but I ended up scaring my mom and the fear was getting to me. Thank God my mom is a woman of God and she started to pray in tongues over the phone. I felt the blood of Jesus covering me, and I started to come down. My boyfriend at the time came to pick me up, and I started getting phone calls from my brothers. I was still not comprehensive and my attempts to assure my brothers that I was fine, came out as blabber. I understood them though, and they told me that the police were coming to get me. I was not in the sort of state to hear news like that. But I remained as calm as a person in my condition could be. I ate a slice of pizza and smoked a cigarette in attempts to bring me back down to earth. We got pulled over by the nearest Tesoro gas station where an officer talked to my bf, and then to me. I lied to him saying I was unwittingly given special brownies. I asked him if I was in trouble and he laughed and said no. I smiled and said, "you're cool officer!" high fived him and sat in the car. I didn't know that I had some friends at the gas station who saw the whole thing and thought I was the coolest. I got off scotch free, came out alive, impressed my friends at the time, and developed more of a faith in God. I now have more of an understanding of how much of an idiot I was, and how much God loves my mom who loves me and saved my life.


I now think this story is just embarrassing, and I NEVER want to go through anything like that ever again.
