Living for the Lord "Kingly" I was born in AZ, moved around a bit and went to grade school in a Spanish Villa while living on a reservation in NM on a Corp. Natural Gas Plant from age 6-13, was in a few treatment centers a couple mental hospitals and jail. Moved back into the city's by 14 and was on my own, moved around alot from city to city, town to town, was in trouble with the law and in and out of jail alot, I was alcohloic and drug addict and I hated life. I Met a girl at age seventeen and had my first child with her in year 3 of our relationship ("Vanessa who brought the feeling of joy and love back into my life".) Although we seperated a year later. I met another girl named "Maria" who would later become my wife, and give birth to 4 beautiful kids (Angela, Jr., Jessica, and Joshylin). We've been through alot of tough times and seperated a few times. I Moved back to AZ in 01 to try and start over I got in trouble with the law again, and this is the time that my life forever changed. While waiting for my sentencing on my way to Prison I cried out to God the only way I new how, I was tired of how my life was going and I knew I could not change myself for I had tried many times before. I relized how wrong I had been living my life and how I loved doing all the things I had been doing, drinking,smoking,fornicating,indulging in all my lusts and desire's, hurting people, abusing, hating etc. and also HOW MUCH I HAD LOST. I knew I deserved being punished, and locked up for all the things I had done in life. I grew up practicing witchcraft and many forms of it, and idolatory, and tried to commit suicide a few times. One night walking home I turned completely away from God as I knew He was watching from somewhere. I never knew God growing up but I knew He existed. So that night in my jail cell I confessed all that I could remember and I asked for His forgiveness and I gave my life to Lord that night in my jail cell around 2am in the morning in Durango Jail D-pod of September 2001. At that moment I felt completly clean and not dirty and evil, how I usually felt. It was also when God revealed Himself to me and let me know who He was and Is,... and THAN, I knew who God was. I felt soo good and clean and free. I could not go back to sleep all night I just read the bible. I continued to read and do as the Bible talked about and asked God to prepare me for the future whatever it was going to be. Since than I have had my ups and downs, for the fight in my life did not end as I thought it would but it seemed to have just begun. The way I saw it is one chapter in my life ended and another opened up. Right now Me, my wife and kids are a part of Spirit Life Church and I do all I can to help with the church and advance the Kingdom of God.
