When I was called to preach by the Lord shortly after high school, I couldn't see how God would want me, a skinny kid with no worth (in my opinion) to be His servant, so due to who I was in those days, who my church and family was I ran into the world for 40 years.

However, God is patient. God is kind.

I worked in several fields, from helping build experimental aircraft at Cessna to retail, computers and even a stint in a law office. Several corporate gigs along the way helped me understand how the world works from the inside.

The Lord would pop up regularly, checking in on me, reminding me He'd called me to do His work and I'd continue down my path, ignoring Him.

Until 2014.

I should have died that year, but God brought me through it, offered me another chance to serve Him and I took it and ran back to Him. As I recovered from my brush with death (my doctor has told me she doesn't know how I'm still alive)

I began seeking Him more so than I ever had, and continue to seek His will for my life.

I now minister in a field I never would have imagined I'd be in, and it's all for His glory.

As I look back and see His hand in so many of the elements of my life over the years, how He protected me, moved me, and yet allowed me to make my own choices even though those choices were not Godly, I marvel and praise Him for His steadfast love, that even while I was deep in sin, He still loved me and wanted me to return to Him.

That my friends, is the true definition of love.
