I went from building and remodeling mansions (major restorations and fabrication)
to flat of my back needing back surgery ,and I promised if God would just get me through this ,I would serve Him .I even went to Church the night I was discharged from the hospital and told everyone ,I would be back using my musical talents for the Lord ,
But all that bone off my sciatic nerve ,I was out of pain ,felt like a new man
9 days after I was discharged ,I was installing hard wood floors with 100 stitch's inside my back and 25 staples outside ,take a pain pill drink a few beers ,I was back
I even took customers from my Uncle I had worked for ,when I needed him ,he dropped me like a hot potato ,,so I combined 3 companies into one and sold a 1 call does it all type business (which most builders want no part of ,if one drops the ball it screws up everyone and draws from the bank ,move in time )
But I pulled it off and was getting very successful ,good reputation ,lots of work by word of mouth ,,bigger jobs
And then I get this little spur in my shoulder ,and soon I can't lift a coffee cup ,I sure can do my trade and then the doctors can't find the cause .
First they said it was a torn rotator cup ,but then it wasn't
The doctor sends me to give him a UA and I hear him telling my wife its all in my head .
To cut to the chase I am left ,and end up homeless ,living on the streets
And I am disabled
Jan 18 ,1994 ,Christ delivered me from a life of addictions
And He made me trust no one but Him
I lost everything ,and it wasn't easy to go through ,I came close to ending my life over it
But when I got into His word ,and really gave it all to Him ,He turned my life around ,,I have been called the modern day Job and a weeping prophet ,I don't want any titles except Brother ,but I am now a born again son of God
I started my life over where I am now June 10th 1995
I washed cars for a living ,and Nov 5th 1995 I walked out of a court house with full custody of my kids my 1st wife hid from me for 12 yrs
Every thing I lost or should I say I needed ,has been given back to me
Except my wife ,,she has her own free will .
Get at His feet and see what He wants of you
Put Him first in everything ,and He will give you your hearts desire
I do not care who mocks my testimony ,who says there is no God
When you know that you know ,,they are the ones with opinions
I now have full assurance where I stand ,who I am
and exactly what He expects of me ,,and I have an awesome family
They are all on the exact same page too ,,yea God is very real
and if He wants your attention ,He is going to get it
