We all have time were our walk in the Lord is not where it need to be. Our temptations do not make us sinners its how we act on them. I am sure if you continue walking in the Lord and do what he ask he will bless you. You will be in my prayers !

- About Me
- I will never forget it was the most beautiful Friday I have ever seen. Even though I laid down on a brier patch to rest for three hours. The clouds where so white and the sky has never been that blue and the air smelled so clean and crisp. That afternoon after we got home mom asked me if I wanted to go to Celebrate Recovery. I said of course and walked in my room and changed. When we got there I felt like something was pulling me back and trying to drag me down, but once I walked into the church, I was at home and at true peace again. Mom did her rounds in introducing me to everyone and sometimes twice. Everyone there hugged me, shook my hand and they took me in like the bar did but this time it was different. The embrace came with the love and grace of God. After we ate we went into the sanctuary and had our praise and worship time. There were already a few people there that I knew from the church I was kicked out of. They too where told to leave for other reasons. The love in the room of this church was unbarreled for me.We started to sing and just have rejoice in the Lord and I started to cry so hard, I prayed and prayed and prayed harder ever time I did. I was so ashamed in what my life turned out to be like I was so ashamed that God looked down at me in heartache and shame. I asked the Lord to help me and asked him to come back into my life. (Not expecting to leave my lifestyle at the time.) I began to feel his presents all over me like all the bad in the world and in me was just ripped out. I prayed for my mom which was on the other side of the church to come hold me and pray with me and she did. I was in so much emotional pain since I was making my inventory and giving it up to the Lord. Soon as she touched me she began to burst out into tears she was sharing my pain. After I was finished praying I looked up at her and began to cry again I told her I was home, I ran home. She grabbed me and held me so tight. I walked up to my friend and hugged her and told her thank you for all your prayers and her families. The next day I was on my way to church for the youth Worship and the Lord spoke to me in a loud booming voice and told me “Your life was made new and you are no longer a homosexual you are my child.” I cried again and almost ran off the road. That night I herd a song on my way home that blew me away, and guess what it’s the song my mother heard the day she picked me up its named “He Ran” I wanted to sing it one day at church. Instead the Lord had his own plan he gave me a sign/drama thing to do instead and to share a small version of my life to people and to do this every time I give my testimony.Since then the Lord has sent me to do his will wanting to become a leader in Celebrate Recovery. Which I want to thank because without the unconditional love I could still be heading down a road of sin and the road to destruction also God had me to start a ministry with my mom called By Grace Ministries.
