Blessed and a Blessing: Alexis Petty

“My name is Alexis Petty. I am 22 years old. I used to be a meth and heroin addict but really drugs weren’t my problem. Sin was my problem. It was so much easier to be selfish, hateful and self-destructive. Now that I have a relationship with Jesus, I live under Grace and now I love my life. He has mended my relationships with my family, but not only that, he has given me a new family as well – The House of Mercy. I couldn’t be more grateful for what God is doing in my life! Also, I can’t wait for what he has in store for the future because I know he has a plan that is greater than mine. So, I have to give my savior, Jesus Christ, all the glory, honor and praise.”

Lexi is a level 2 resident of the House of Mercy (H.O.M.E.). After completion of the program she plans to continue to tell everyone about the mystery. She describes her life as empty and not promising before she came to H.O.M.E. What she likes most about being there is the love of God shown to her from her new brothers and sisters in Christ. H.O.M.E. has taught her how to study the Bible, which has taught her a new way of life.
