So what does the future hold? As Rhodes learns to live as a sober adult, he is making plans to give back to the community that has embraced him throughout the years. First, though, he had to learn how to love himself.  “I am better than I ever have been, through the grace of God and growing in His will and His plan. It is our responsibility to use the gifts that God has given us. My Aunt Judith said, ‘Nephew, the problem is not the problem; your attitude is the prob- lem.’ That punched me in the mouth. I used to think that I was nothing and then realized that God made me special,” he said.  Rhodes is also wanting to test his healthy and fit body and volunteer with the Texas Star with search and rescue. He feels that it’s his duty after all that God has brought him through, to give back his time to helping other people.  “At the end of the day, I want to serve my community at a local level, a state level and maybe a nationwide level, at any capacity,” he said.
