Today I start a new journey in my life. Giving up the old and walking into the unknown. The passion for ministry, comparable to a mother giving birth. A dream peeking out like a bud in spring time. Standing on God's Word ?I will never leave you, nor forsake you,? preparing for the door to open. I write these words as a reminder of what God has done. Giving no man credit, not even me, for the life and blessings. When you start from the bottom, the only way to go is up. Amazingly, I have learned that my low place was a planned placed. Poverty being a lesson of faith and being raised by a single parent, it strengthened me to believe and overcome addiction, which became my testimony. A failed life, no; a blessed life, yes.
