PERSONAL STORY:
I was raised by my two parents who cared for me and tried to guide me in the right direction. I was a good speaker, singer, and athlete as a young man and my gifts brought me a lot of attention and popularity. So I thought I was entitled to things I didn’t deserve. While in college, a lady I didn’t even know told me that 99.5% won’t do, that God wanted my very best – even my talents. I made the decision then to accept Christ into my life. Now I can use my gifts and talents for a greater purpose.
