If you had to describe your ideal life, what would it look like? 

 If you had to describe your ideal life, what would it look like?  First thing First, I want to give full credit to God and Jesus Christ for being the leaders of my life right now.  I thank both of them for taking charge and making all of my decisions for me.  My ideal life for me is to continue to pray every single day of the week and to continue to serve my Lord and Savior God and Jesus Christ on a daily basis.  My ideal life for me is to remain positive and to stay clean and sober from alcohol and other drugs on a daily basis.  I am learning how to be more transparent with God and Jesus Christ as well as with mankind and with myself right now.  Primarily, my ideal life right now is to please God and Jesus Christ on a daily basis 🙏 🙌.   I know that I am not perfect, but there is room for improvement in my overall behavior as well as all of my actions and the decisions that I am making for myself.  Finally, I am a person w...
