God began dealing with me about 4 years ago. I was a night club entertainer which had its ups and downs, but overall I felt something was missing. Aside from the fact I was destroying my vocal chords in smoke filled barrooms, I felt there had to be more to life than this. I reached the point where the void in my life was unbearable. I thought "maybe its my job making me unhappy". I Quit a $40,000 per year job to pursue music full time. After a series of heartbreaking rejections, and doors being shut in my face, I would begin to look at a vast array of things in search of true joy. My full time music career led to bankruptcy a short 6 months later. Life was miserable to say the least. I can remember sitting on my bed and crying for an hour each morning before going to work. Bankruptcy would lead me to Jackson, MS in search of work. Mobile's unemployment rate had reached its highest that I can remember. There my life was about to change. A coworker in Jackson was a christian. Sure, I had worked with christians before but there was something different about this one. He had joy. I mean real joy! Joy on a bad day, and joy on a good day. His joy did not depend on life's circumstances. Another thing that stood out to me was that he was not judgemental, he never condemned me for my sins like most "christians" do. He loved me. He would make conversation with me and treat me as if I was a person on an even playing field. He never made me feel he was better or holier than me. He became my friend. The closer he got to me, the more I could see that the joy he had was not natural. It had to be supernatural. The closer friends we became the more the Spirit of God tugged at my heart. One day I broke and accepted Christ into my heart. Immediately I felt the call to ministry. I devoted my heart, life, and talents to God and he restored my vocal chords and gave me a beautiful ministry. This gift he gave me is like a fire shut up in my bones. I must share it. I cannot hide my light under a table. I promised God if he would open the door, I would step right in. I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation. I am a simple guy who enjoys the simple things in life. I am blessed to have family and friends who love , encourage, and believe in me. I am engaged to the most amazing woman that I have ever met. She is beautiful, kind, helpful, encouraging, and most of all... she loves me back!!!
