My story is how good our God is. His faithfulness rewrote my life story. I grew up as an abused child, a foster child, an adolescent alcoholic leading to having my 1st child out of wedlock.
During the worst years I was blessed with a talent of writing, which at that time had a focus on pain, suffering, and hidden anger. When I finally submitted to Him, I walked into church for the 1st time since I was 5 to the song 'Mercy Said No' by Cece Winans—and like the song says, He declared He wouldn't let me slip away or let my past define me.
Today, I am who I am and where I am only because of the 'Goodness of God' and His goodness running after me, chasing me down even when I was trying to run the other way.
I'm now a stable husband and father of three, one a US marine and two younger ones at home. Last year God kept working as my 12 year old son started playing drums. His spirit talked in my heart to start writing again, only this time for God's glory. So I began to write Christian songs alongside my son's drumming practices. Talk about a 180 degree use of the talent he gave me! God's patience is endless and his timing is perfect, and please believe he will do the same for everyone. What he did on calvary has power over everything for everyone and there is no greater hope than that.
