Hello Family!
Praise God! My cousin Wood is married! He married his High School Sweetheart Dar\’Cella Cross on June 3, 2006. See this is not just a wedding, its a celebration. Its seeing God through them. Let me share their story.
My cousin Wood (part of his last name) is 38 same age as myself. He use to be an alcoholic. When I say………this brotha can turn up a bottle of liquor………………. that\’s what the heck I mean!!!!!!!. I remember times when we would all get together and play cards, he would ack a fool, not be ready to fight, but just be hyped and we know that when people get drunk they have the power to change the whole atmosphere. See Wood is my favorite cousin, I love him dearly. But when he started drinking everyday, all day, even at work, it wasn\’t fun being around him any more.
We use to work together, he would drink on the job, drink in the car, and fall asleep wherever. One day he was so drunk and out of his mind, his so called friends dropped him off on the curb of his house, got in their cars and drove off! Yep, sho did. His brother (my cousin) found him that next morning in that same spot. As out cold as that was, he still didn\’t give up drinking.
No matter what we told him about drinking, he still did it. Don\’t mention drinking and driving, he would be bout to kill you if you tried to take his keys from him.
DarCella still loved him. I wonder how can a woman love a man like that. I mean how can you sleep at night knowing he\’s somewhere with his friends drinking and drunk. Many nights she stayed up wondering when he was coming home. No matter what she stayed by his side, Still loving him, being the one who nursed his wounds and depression. Dar\’Cella love my cousin. And I love her too. I always tease them and say my cousins are in love with each other.
When I saw Wood I would ask him, so when are you and Dar\’Cella getting married? He would say Im not ready yet cuz. HE never said Dar\’Cella was not the one for me, he would always say that he wasn\’t ready. He never blamed her for the few times she GOT crazy on one of his females, never once did he say that she was too motherly, not once did he say he didn\’t love her.
He said \”Im not ready cuz\”.
One day last year. I got a phone call saying that Wood was in the hospital. He woke up not knowing how he got there, or if he had killed someone. See my cousin was drinking and driving, and passed out behind the wheel, He had alcohol poisoning and it almost killed him. He was so scared of dying that it was the last drink he would ever take. His daughters Dessi 16, and Dominique 12 was so scared for their dad. That he promised them that he would never take another drink. His baby daughter prayed to God to take the taste out of his mouth. Wow, how deep is that? His own daughter ask God to take the taste out of her dad\’s mouth!!!!!! You know God smiled on that request. Especially coming from a child.
Wood has never taken a drink since. HE has no desire to drink at ALL! Look at God!
When Dar\’Cella told me that they were getting married. We were so there! Our families represented do ya hear me! He was so happy to see us all. I thank God about a million times. Because I knew. I knew that since he\’s been sober, he has been thinking straight. He knows Dar\’Cella loves him with everything in her. I knew when she told me that they were getting married, I knew he was ready. I felt it in my spirit.
At the wedding I could not stop looking at him. He was sooooo happy! His daughters were happy, his wife, his family, her family and friends. God has done this. I know its God. That next morning they flew to Florida, where they are now as I type for their honeymoon! Im so happy for them. Thank you Jesus!
Here is a song for Wood and Dar\’Cella:
