Success Stories - May 2012
Byron - Saved by God's grace
Byron is quick to tell you that God sent him to Oasis. Of course it was through a previous client and Dream Makeover Candidate, Sheila, who told Byron about Oasis but, that was all it took to get him here. Now, he is one of our most incredible success stories and a faithful volunteer.
Byron had led a life of alcohol and drug addiction ever since he was a child. He spent most of his life in and out of prison but, you would never guess that if you met him now. He shared with me that it is the Lord who transformed his life. He will confess that he had been running from God a long time and after one low point too many, Byron finally began running to God by seeking Him. At about the same time he heard about Oasis Compassion Agency and began coming for assistance on a regular basis. Byron really needed help finding a job and he received help with his resume and job search assistance with Tonya Meese, our Job Counselor. He has a gentle soul and as soon as he got some work as a handyman he wanted to give back to Oasis by volunteering in the Food Pantry. Kammy Kaiser, the Food Pantry Manager describes Byron as a “servant with a happy heart”. She also says that he is very patient and kind to everyone including “sandpaper” people.
Many people who have such a difficult and traumatic past would be bitter but Byron chooses to see the beauty in God’s world. He said it is up to us to see the miracles all around. He also believes that God sends us people who we need at the right time. And that is how he got to Oasis! Everyday Byron works at letting go and letting God takeover his life. He believes that is the only way to overcome addictions and trauma. Byron explains that “It is not possible to overcome these things by yourself with your own power. It has got to be through God’s power.” At Oasis we are blessed and privileged to see people transformed by God’s power.
Byron still needs to work more regularly but, he is thankful and grateful for everything he has and says by God’s grace he is getting by. One of his biggest disappointments is being judged because of his past. Often that is a deterrent to being hired and he would just like to be given a chance. If you have a handyman job, or know of someone who does, please consider giving Byron the opportunity. Everyone at Oasis will give him a great recommendation because of the excellent help he has provided as a volunteer! (…read more]
