Let the Light Guide You

Tossed to and fro in a sea of dysfunctional living throughout the years, it has taken almost a lifetime for me to find direction. As a toddler I began learning to deal with the everyday challenges of confusion and abuse. With no one to lead me, I naively followed the obvious broad paths to destruction. Regardless of the challenge in the battles and trials I faced, they shaped my purpose and direction in life. The hardships were not wasted; the pains had purpose.


I believed I had a reputation of toughness to uphold which included alcohol and drug abuse. I walked through fire regardless of the fuel. Because of the decisions of my immature, ignorant, and willful self, I should have been maimed for life or even killed. I have been raised from the dead three times. This gradually caused me to realize there was a Power much greater than me with a purpose I would eventually realize.


If it had not been for the effectual, fervent prayers of my wife and the body of Christ who relentlessly prayed for me, I might still be a source of grave concern today. Each of my family members, blood and step-, eventually came to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. If God never does another thing for me, I know He has already used my life to bring others to Him.
