personal message
I am a married Christian male who loves our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I enjoy listening to Gospel music and Old School tunes. My daughter and son also keep me updated on the latest hip hop, reggae, R&B, jazz and etc. If you have teenagers you know what I mean.
My previous occupations have been Correctional Officer, Group Home Administrator, Youth Counselor, Athletic Coach and Sales Manager for an auto dealership. I'm not sure why God placed me in such a diverse group of occupations, but I never question his purpose. In 1988, I gave my life to Christ, but noone ever explained to me the in depth process of change. I expected my old life to disappear permanently and the new one to emerge. You know, preach the gospel and have everybody feel exactly what you are feeling at that moment. It did not happen that way. Old habits do die hard, but I discovered what Matthew 6:24 really meant. Just to paraphrase, "you cannot serve two masters. you must hate the one and love the other." If you are truly seeking Christ and trying to live your life in the same fashion before you came to Christ, it will not work. As I continued to party, I also attended bible study, choir practice and Sunday service. Something else I discovered was; you are not convicted by the word of God overnight. That is also a process. (Hebrews 4:12, paraphrasing, "the word of God cuts like a two edged sword." In other words, it helps us to re-think our thinking process and assists us in getting closer to the light and shedding the darkness. The time frame is different for all God's children. It touches some faster than others. As long as you have faith, belief and hope, his mercy and grace will always lead you in the right direction. If there's anyone out there who wants to correspond, please feel free to contact me. Just remember, no matter what it is that you're going through, God has a plan for you. Matthew 12:28-30 says, "come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laiden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart. And surely you will find rest unto your souls." There is no burden to heavy for Jesus Christ. God bless you. favorite pages |
