Profile Information

My Testimony (about me): I GREW UP IN THE CHURCH AND KNEW GOD AT A YOUNG AGE. AT 14, MY PARENTS OUT OF NO WHERE DIVORCED AND WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A OK LIFE SUDDENLY CAME CRASHING DOWN. I INSTANTLY DECIDED THAT I WOULD NEVER ALLOW SOMEONE TO HURT ME AGAIN. AS A YOUNG CHILD I WAS DEFINITELY VERY ROTTEN BUT HAD SUCH A SOFT HEART FOR PEOPLE. AFTER THIS UNSUSPECTED DIVORCE I FELT VERY ABANDONED, ANGRY, ALONE AND MANY OTHER INDESCRIBABLE FEELINGS. I DECIDED TO GO TO A NEW SCHOOL BECAUSE I FELT LIKE I COULD START OVER WHERE NO ONE KNEW ME AND I WOULD HAVE A NEW IDENTITY. I DECIDED IN MY MIND I NO LONGER WANTED TO BE THE NICE GUY AT THE NEW SCHOOL. I STARTED DOING DRUGS HARD BY 8TH GRADE. AS A SOPHOMORE I WAS ARRESTED FOR MY FIRST FELONY CASE, BUT THERE WAS MANY MORE TO COME. IN THAT MONTH I WAS CHARGED WITH 4 FELONIES INCLUDING BURGLARY AND 3 COUNTS OF THEFT. IF I WAS AN ADULT I WOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT 32 YEARS. THAT DID NOT SCARE ME THE LEAST. I TOTALLY FED THE "BAD BOY" PERSONA THAT I WANTED TO PORTRAY. TO MAKE A VERY LONG STORY SHORT OVER THE NEXT 7 YEARS I DID HOUSE ARREST 8 TIMES, GRADUATED FROM 8 INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT REHABS, WAS CHARGED WITH MANY FELONIES ETC. THE BEGINNING TO THE END WAS, MY HOUSE BEING RAIDED BY A DRUG ENFORCEMENT TEAM IN 2003 AFTER MAKING MULTIPLE BUYS FROM ME, MARKED MONEY, UNDERCOVER COPS, PHONE TAPS... IT WAS BAD. HEADLINES OF THE NEWSPAPER. I HAD A GREAT LAWYER AND ONCE AGAIN I GOT HOUSE ARREST. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I WAS REALLY SCARED. IT WAS AT TIMES LIKE THIS I ACTUALLY CALLED OUT TO GOD AND HE ALWAYS WAS FAITHFUL TO ANSWER BUT I WAS NOT DONE. I WENT BACK TO BARTENDING, DRINKING, PILLS, REALLY AND DRUG I COULD GET AHOLD OF, PREMARITUAL SEX... A REAL HARDCORE, HORRIBLE PERSON. IT WAS BAD AND IT GOT BAD. I GOT ARRESTED WHILE ON FELONY PROBATION AND THEN I BONDED OUT. MY PLAN WAS TO RUN. I WAS NOT GOING TO DO THAT TIME. NO WAY. BUT ALL OF US KNOW THE POWER OF A MOM THAT LOVES THEIR CHILD. MY MOM STOOD IN THE GAP AND INTERCEDED FOR ME FOR YEARS. I CAME TO HER TO TELL HER GOODBYE AND THAT I WAS RUNNING. WITH TEARS IN HER EYES SHE SAID, "YOU KNOW THEY WILL KILL YOU" AND I SAID I KNOW. I DID NOT CARE ABOUT DEATH BUT WHAT I DID CARE ABOUT WAS MY MOM THAT NEVER FORSAKE ME AND COULD NOT STOP CRYING. SOMETHING BROKE IN ME THAT NIGHT. SHE LED ME THROUGH A PRAYER AND I TOLD GOD THAT I WAS WILLING TO PAY WHATEVER PRICE WAS NECESSARY TO NEVER LIVE LIKE THAT ANYMORE. LATER THAT WEEK I TURNED MYSELF IN FOR A WARRANT FOR A VIOLATION OF PROBATION. I SPENT THE NEXT MONTHS ON A FELONY BLOCK WITH A BACKSLIDDEN PREACHER THAT BEGAN MENTORING ME. I WOULD LOVE TO THANK HIM BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM SINCE. HE BEGAN PLANTING SEEDS IN ME THAT HAD NOT YET TAKEN ROOT BUT WERE STILL THERE. I EVENTUALLY GOT OUT ON HOUSE ARREST AGAIN AND WAS STILL DOING DRUGS, BUT MY MOM STARTED SENDING ME SERMONS FROM HER CHURCH A HOUR AWAY. I WOULD GET HIGH AND LISTEN TO THEM AND JUST LOVED THE PASTOR. AT THIS TIME IN THE FALL OF 2005 I STARTED SEEKING GOD PRETTY HARD ON MY OWN WITHOUT ANY MENTOR, ANY ONE TO DEMAND ANYTHING OF ME, I JUST WANTED HIM. I GOT OFF OF HOUSE ARREST SPRING OF 2006, AND AS PROMISED I WENT AND VISITED MY MOMS CHURCH. IT WAS SO DIFFERENT THEN ANY OTHER CHURCH HAD BEEN TO. SO MANY MEN WHO HAD BEEN THROUGH WHAT I HAD BEEN THROUGH, AND DID NOT JUDGE ME. THEY AUTHENTICALLY LOVED ME. I WENT TO AN ALTER CALL THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY FOR DRUG ADDICTS AND ALCOHOLICS. MY NOW COVENANT BROTHERS LAID HANDS ON ME AND I WAS BAPTIZED IN THE SPIRIT... AT THE TIME I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THAT WAS OR WHAT JUST HAPPENED. AFTER THAT EXPERIENCE I WENT HOME, CANCELLED MY LEASE, PAYED IT OFF FOR THE REMAINDER OF WHAT I OWED, PACKED MY BAGS AND MOVED TO A FOREIGN CITY AND LIFE I KNEW NOTHING OF. I ABANDONED EVERYTHING. I HAD NO CHOICE. TO SUM UP THE NEXT TWO AND A HALF YEARS I NOW KNOW WHAT IT IS TO BE A SON, BE A LOVER OF GODS, KNOW HIM IN A VERY INTIMATE WAY, KNOW WHAT A DELIVERER HE IS, A RESTORER, I AM PASSIONATE AND BOLD AND ZEALOUS FOR HIM AND THE ESTABLISHING OF HIS KINGDOM... TO PUT IT BOLDLY I HAVE A EVANGELISTIC CALLING ON MY LIFE. THAT IS MY HEART. I LIVE TO KNOW HIM AND TO SEE THAT WHICH WAS LOST SAVED. WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO IN LIFE. GOD HAS NOW EMPOWERED ME AND GIVEN ME THE GRACE TO MINISTER IN THESE AREAS: TEACH TRAINING CAMP(SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER), MIDDLE SCHOOL YOUTH LEADER, HIGH SCHOOL LEADER, INTERCESSORY PRAYER, CELEBRATE RECOVERY, FINANCIAL PEACE, RUN A DISCIPLESHIP HOME UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT... THE LIST GOES ON, THE POINT IS GOD IS SO GOOD. HE CAN TAKE A DRUG ADDICTED, ALCOHOLIC, THIEVING PROMISCUOUS, ALL AROUND JUST HORRIBLE PERSON AND TURN THEM INTO A REFINED, TRAINED WEAPON OF WAR AND, AND A HARD, SELFISH ORPHAN INTO SUCH A LOVER OF HIS. PRAISE GOD!!!
