The Transformation of Josh Mabie

Meet Josh Osborne Mabie

As you read his story, you will find a young boy that grew up fast. He searched for a “family” in his young mind that he could keep together. In his young mind, the more he tried, the more It was completely the opposite. But as you read, you will see That Jesus is putting his family together. So he doesn’t feel the need to do it in his own strength.

WHEN WAS THE FIRST TIME YOU FELT YOUR LIFE SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL?

I was about 15 when I was introduced to drugs and alcohol. I felt I wanted to have a family I never had. I wanted to contribute and be part of woking to supply my siblings with things my family couldn’t afford. I also supplied other people with money so they could live.

In order to feed my need to supply these things, I got involved in gang related things which wasn’t good and other things to survive. I didn’t realize how bad it was for as young as I was. But I pushed through because my family needed me.

WHEN WAS THE FIRST TIME YOU FELT YOU NEEDED TO REACH OUT FOR HELP?

In 2024, I felt my life going down fast. The heavy drinking, and drugs, went along with the partying. It was overwhelming me. I lost touch with all my kids, and family and job. I felt like I was losing everything. I overdosed really bad. Didn’t think I was going to make it through. The friends that cared told me If I didn’t reach out for help that I would probably die.

Sara Hersey was the one that contacted Shekinah Go for me. I was able to get through and get the help I needed through this program

When my Grammy was sick, she ask if I could come home. She had heard of my transformation. So I sat my her bedside and read bible scriptures to her. Even my old friends see a dramatic change in me. I am forever grateful for this program. I am forever grateful that I have Jesus in my life. I don’t ever want to go back to my old life.
