Face Down... But God

In the first volume of Donnie's life, 'Face Down: The Donnie Foster Story' we read of the life God allowed Donnie to experience the first forty years of his life. I believe God anointed Donnie's conception with a heavy heart for the life Donnie would face. For forty-plus years, he spiraled down in a life of abuse leading to addictions and all the ramifications that come with it. In the world of addiction, every day is a crap shoot: You're as likely to live as you are to die. 'But God'...those beautiful words...But God spared Donnie's life. Why? Because God said in his Word: 'I will rescue you from your own people. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God.' (Acts 26:17, 18 NIV) This verse says it all.
