As an infant I was born clubfoot to where one foot turned all the way inwards, and I wore metal shoes with a metal brace between them to keep my feet straight. One day, my parents had taken me up for prayer and Holy Spirit straightened my foot.

Years later, 1986, when I was 13 yrs old, I fell backwards landing flat on my rear which caused me to have low back issues. I struggled with sciatic nerve pain that would shoot down my right leg and, on many occasions, I would bend over and would not be able to straighten back up. I had this injury for 8 years. Then one night in 1994, I was invited to attend a tent revival for the first time, and the Lord instantly healed my back. I didn't have any more back issues for many years after that, and He continued to heal me of other things.

Early Years - 1994

I was in a rollover accident the day after my 22nd birthday and the day before my grandfather's funeral and it took me 16 years to remember what happened.

I was bringing home groceries and food for the funeral, and my parents were in the oil field business so there were drill bits between the weight of 75lbs to 300lbs in the bed of the truck as well as all the groceries. The pins of these bits were broken off as you can see in the photo of the back of the truck.

It was cloudy and we had scattered showers which slickened the road. I was going around a long curve which I could see way ahead and I usually drove down the middle of the road, yet I decided to stay in my lane. I didn't know that the road was in bad condition. I drove on a spot that caused the truck to bounce in which caused the bits to roll causing the truck to turn around I found myself hydroplaning backwards. I could not regain control, so I laid down in the seat and said, 'Lord please help me'.

I woke up, believing that I just had a bad dream of being in a wreck, I then felt the dirt under my hands. I started crying and cried out, 'Lord please help me'!

I opened my eyes, and they were flooded with a bright light. I raised my left arm (which was caught in the teeth of a drill bit that was next to my head) to shield my eyes. At that moment, a truck had just passed by. The passenger was turned around looking at the wreckage. He saw my arm go up and he told his wife to turn around; somebody was out there. (we may get 10 cars a day on our road, that is how remote we were, and I was only 2 miles from the house).

My brother had to move the drill bit that lay next to my head in order for the EMS to put me on a scoop to move me. I was in the hospital for a little more than 3 weeks. I fractured my L4 & L5, broke 3 ribs, broke my clavicle, banged up a knee, flesh of upper left arm was chewed, had temporary short term memory loss, and a severe concussion. For months I had to use my fingers to crawl my arms where I wanted them to be.

God was so good to save me that day. If I were to have died, I would be in hell. I had family that said God saved me for a reason, I believed it and now I know it because I am walking it out.

2014 - 2017

This was the time in my life to where I had learned to trust in the Lord. I stood firm through these years. I kept telling Him as well as myself that I would trust Him, and I did. It wasn't easy by no means especially when I had trust issues, there had not been anyone in my life that I was able to truly trust, so it really took a lot.

During this time, I went through 5 surgeries in which Father God provided paid time off work and insurance coverage to pay for the majority of the cost.

I was going through a divorce which took 4 years because my ex would not help pay for it even though He had moved out two years into the divorce. I was left paying all the bills while being harassed by his girlfriend via text on a weekly, yet nearly daily basis. God had provided the financial means for me to be able to pay my bills.

My lawyer died about two months before my court date. Two weeks before the court date, God provided a lawyer of another firm to take this lawyer's place without extra cost. I had to deal with a new divorce judge that made a snide comment at me about the fact that I was getting everything in the divorce even though it was my ex who didn't show up for court. I may have gotten everything by default, but I had to foot the bill for everything on the barely above average salary.

Two weeks later I lost my career job that I loved and that little salary that I was getting quickly got worse by not finding work that would pay more than $4 less an hour than what I was getting. Then due to some loopholes not in my favor, I was unable to get the house refinanced into my name, therefore I had to put it up for sell.

During all of this, I was trying so hard to stay strong by leaning on God and trusting that He was going to see me through all this mess. I felt like I kept getting hit with one thing after another. One day I told a coworker that I didn't know how to hear God, and I wanted so much to have direction and to truly hear Him. He knew my heart and soon after He gave me the desire of my heart.

2018 - 2019

A couple of weeks before the new year, 2018, I felt like I should move into the area closer to where my sister lived, near Cisco/Eastland, approximately an hour east. I really felt this was the move to make and therefore I started praying about it, asking God to open doors and boy did He do it!

Starting on a Sunday, January 2018, I put my house up for sale, applied for a job, started looking for a rent house, and wondering how all this was going to transpire of how I was going to be able to afford this since I didn't have a job and yet I had bills to pay.

By that Saturday, 6 days later, I interviewed for a job and got it, my niece just happened to come across a FB post from the year before that had the person's name and number of whom is the main rental property owner in the area and she had the only two houses in the area that were available to look rent, I had a family member who put up money to get me moved out there, my niece needed a place to stay so we became roommates and I had a buyer for the house. When we closed, I was able to pay back the family member that put up close to 2k for all the deposits I needed to get everything turned on.

During the time of me living here, I would do water fasts for 3 days at a time. I wanted to grow closer to the Lord and He heard me. My life with Him has not been the same since.

After I had been given the vision/calling, my niece was having to move out because her husband had gotten out of boot camp. I had already sold pretty much everything that wouldn't fit in an RV. I bought two acres just inside the city limits in which I found out later that the month that I bought the property, the town just rezoned everything, therefore, I had to sell the property because I could not live in my camper on the property. God revealed to me why this was and so it was a blessing that it happened.

Though I moved onto an RV lot, I had to work 2 jobs, 1 full time and 1 part-time because the small town didn't pay well.

In November, I injured my foot. My boss from my full-time job changed my shift to where I couldn't work my part-time job or go to church. Then, shortly after my injured foot and still on medical leave I fell and injured my back in such a way that my legs would shake, and I would lose my balance. I wasn't able to stand long. Things looked grim, but I prayed, and He heard me. January 2019 God opened doors for me to move back west in the town over from where I moved from, and I was able to hook up my camper behind my mother's house. Yet, my injury was so bad that I had become disabled, and there's so much to continue to say, but ultimately, God has moved in my life to the point that I am where I am now because of Him, and I am no longer disabled.

March 18, 2020

About 2 years after I was called into ministry and God had provided a small RV and a truck; I was woken up out of my sleep around 3am. It was very quiet. I felt in my spirit that I should pray protection. I started praying and when I was finished, I lay there very still, then I heard it. The tornado. The camper started jerking around, a thought crossed my mind that this little RV was going to go flying. For a moment, fear tried to take over and I rebuked the fear because I knew that if I were to die, I would go to heaven. Once I rebuked the fear, everything stopped.

Due to a transformer being hit, the power in the camper was blown, but there wasn't but a slight ding from the security pole hitting the nose of the camper. There was a picnic table between the camper and truck that was swept away. The truck had a small 1/4 inch dent from the picnic table.

My dad made a comment that when a tornado hits, everything goes flying, nothing just stacks up upon itself like the items that were in the shed. I said that this was angels protecting me. He then said that campers usually either go flying or are laid over and I say it was God's hand of protection keeping the camper in place.

Click on the photo with the close up of the green screen door and you will see the full image. Look closely and you will see that the outside wall of the building missed hitting the slide out by only inches. God protected me that day!

The transformer was it and it sent a surge of electricity that blew out the wires in the camper. Just a couple of weeks later a couple came and purchased the camper at a decent price even after knowing the situation. Then two years later the truck was traded in for a car, sadly out of fear of the gas price increase because I was driving over 50 miles to work. In which, I now work just 3-4 miles away, but I know God knows that we do stupid stuff at times. Now I am in need of both again, but I know he will provide. He is Jehovah Jireh.

2021 - Things happened out west to where I needed to be out of the environment that surrounded me. It's not that I partook in anything bad, but it was a family matter to which I needed to separate myself from. Just a few months earlier, a childhood friend whom I had been in touch with off and on through the years, had got in touch with me and we had been talking. I had even gone to see her for a few weeks. We had actually discussed my moving out there 4 months prior. When the current situation had arisen, I prayed, asking the Lord if it was his will for me to move, to please open doors. Out of the blue, she came into some money and helped me get moved to Pittsburg within a few days from that prayer. Yet, there was a year waiting list on every apartment complex. I couldn't find a place anywhere nearby. Then she told me about someone she knew whom owned apartments, someone that I had already spoken to. My friend was told that she had 1 available, but no one ever wants to rent it due to the parking situation. We looked at it and I took it. Not only did God provide the apartment, He also provided the funds for me to repay my friend shortly after.

2022 - A position at a bank came open, which was the same position I held at my previous bank in which I thought would've been my long-time career. I loved that type of work and this bank was paying over $5 more an hour of what I was paid out west which was a tremendous blessing. I was out of a job, when I saw the opening, Holy Spirit said it was my job. 3 months passed and I was struggling, but then time call came for the last of 3 interviews, I got the job.

Needless to say, I told my pastor that I was a little nervous about becoming comfortable and complacent once I settled into this job. Sure enough, I started looking at it as my career job and eventually stopped pursuing the calling that was on my life, but God did not forget.

2023 - I had an elective surgery that God saw me through.

2024 - After having to deal with receiving shots in my back and taking pain medication, I finally had back surgery, a laminectomy on my L3 - L4 - L5 due to spinal stenosis and arthritis which was somewhat triggered in 2018 from my fall but was also a result from the accident in 1995 for when I fractured my L4 & L5. Arthritis (spurs) were even removed from that area of my spine. God had saw me through the surgery both physically and financially. He is such a gracious and merciful God who cares so much for us!

2025 - For months I was having pain in my left ear, earring hole to where I couldn't hardly even wear stud earrings. I know that doesn't sound like much, but even these seemingly small things are important to Father God. I would tell him how I wanted to wear at least studs, which is what I prefer anyway, but it would be so painful. Then just like that, one day, I didn't have any more pain.

Shortly after that, I started having physical issues that was causing bouts with my body shaking. It was not tremors but as I was getting it diagnosed of two possible things that ran in my family, the weekend before Easter Sunday 2025, as I was on fire for the Lord, I suddenly stopped shaking and have not shaken since. My pastor told me that he had been praying, and he was told by the Lord that as I got on fire for Him, the shaking would stop.

I still have issues with weakness in my legs at times, but I am not concerned because He has done so much for me!

Then came the shift at work in June. Since then, things have started to kick into gear for His ministry....

I have 12 bones spurs in one shoulder and 10 in the other. It has caused me so much grief over the years. I was having to get shots to relieve the pain. I wanted surgery to remove the spurs, but the doctor did not advise it, claiming that it could cause more issues. Then at a healing conference in Ft Worth Texas, in July 2025, I was healed. I still have the spurs because there are a couple that I can actually feel due to being so large, but the pain has been removed. I can move my arms pain free in every direction.

I have many personal experiences of how God has moved in my life through the years. He never leaves us and if I were to give anyone advise.... Trust Him. He will carry you through if you let him. Call on Him. You are never alone because He will never leave you. Surrender everything to Him and allow him to give you his peace, the peace that passes all understanding.
