As I reflect back on my life, I know there’s been nothing in the way of circumstance, environment or opportunity, that could’ve cultivated the person that I’ve become.
It was God.
Statistically speaking, my childhood and young adult years had set the stage for the making of a sociopath. Yet beyond all logic…I’ve been transformed into something quite different.
I grew up in a home of angry atheists, with sexual child predators on both sides of the family. Alcoholism, sexual deviance, and a propensity for violence were commonalities, among many of the men I’ve been exposed to.
By the age of 8 years old, I’d been through more trauma than my young mind could process, and had decided to commit suicide. Sexual abuse, poverty, neglect, traumatic events, and isolation had taken their toll, and I was done.
I won’t go into all the dark details of what lead up to me wanting to die at such a young age, because this isn’t a book about what satan used to try to destroy me. It’s a book about hope, transformation and the relentless love of God. This is a book of love letters that I’ve received across a lifetime from my Father in Heaven, and how those love letters have changed the course of my life, and the person I would become.
If you’d care to listen, I’ll tell you about the day that I planned to kill myself, but instead encountered the One true God. I’ll tell you about my journey of getting to know this invisible Father who taught me about life, how to love myself, and forgive those who’ve hurt me. I’ll tell you about how much I love my Father in Heaven, how grateful I am for the blood of Jesus, and how I couldn’t have survived without the comfort and guidance of the Holy Spirit. I will tell you all about how God saved me, this kid that nobody wanted, and then how He’s built my faith into a strong tower, one crazy amazing miracle at a time. If you ever wanted to hear a story about supernatural intervention, this is it.
