I was basically raised by my mother. I have two brothers and one sister.
My parents divorced at an early age. I loved my father.
I did well in school but the end of my high school years I turned to drinking.
I enlisted in the USAF in 1984, discharged then went into US Army.
There is very much use of alcohol in the military. It may be an unknown fact.
When you get away from your home you see the world.
Everything is new and exciting.
In 1990 I went into the USAF reserves where I was trained as an Aeromedical Evacuation Medical Technician.
It was one year of intense training and I traveled to four different states, military bases in CA, TX, FL, and SC to attain my aircrew medical flying wings.
With that training when I was discharged from the reserves and became a Firefighter III/EMT.
I saw many terrible things and experiences. I did this for three years.
I lived for nearly 40 years unsaved and in the world of good times and loneliness.
In 1996 I asked the Lord to come into my life and heart! I would marry a short while later to a woman I met in church and saw the birth of two daughters. I would be diagnosed with PTSD in 1998. Years later it was deemed service-connected.
I owned a house, vehicles, and all the things that never truly make you happy.
My wife was diagnosed with a type of brain tumor that effected her balance, stumbling and such. It was benign and called an acoustic neuroma.
She nearly died, lost her job as a registered nurse, and in 2008 we filed for bankruptcy.
We moved to North Carolina to start over again by renting a house.
I started a ministry of giving away Bibles and literature in 2010. I had received a calling. With the Lord's help I built my credit back up to where I purchased another home in 2016.
I had a long lapse of time between 2013 until 2017 where my illness almost took my life.
Through all this confusion the Lord Jesus Christ safeguarded and protected me. I reflect back and see He has always been there.
I will tell you with my testimony that there is nothing that Jesus can't fix. He never fails.
I am living proof of a waste of many years in the world not knowing the blessings of God's love for me and His mercy. Don't do the same.
*I ask of you to give Jesus your life.*
With all things are possible with God!
My name is insignificant, God's power is my testimony and I give Him the glory.
I praise Almighty God, and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ.
