I want to continue to grow in God as I grow alongside this nation as a man. I believe with a whole heart that God will quietly guide me back to Him, accompanying me with peace and love along the way.

Some would say that believing we need God means giving away our personal power. They are correct. There is a simple reason for this. Without Him, there is no power to be had.

4 months and I outlive Jesus!

You could say I’ve spent most of my life as a heathen and a hypocrite. I’ve blasphemed God’s name more times than I can count. I’ve sinned countlessly. Through it all, God has always protected me. His love is never ending and ceaseless. In my experience, His love has been everything He’s ever promised. I want you to know that love, because it is the most heartwarming thing imaginable.

I will show my progeny that I am a loving man that was raised by beautiful, kind people, and that though I have a dark, flawed side, the beautiful heart inside of me has always gravitated toward good and our Higher Being’s grace much like I know my ancestors’ hearts and those that came before them did, as well.

Heroes are flawed. It is my hope to be called someone’s hero. If anything, I can say I am my own hero. I can only say that because the greatest Hero of all taught me how to believe in myself. He has always protected my spirit, and though I’ve run an exhilarating race to the peak of my ability, I’ve made many mistakes. He has always been there to pick me up and carry me when I’ve been too weak to continue moving forward. I am grateful.

Over the course of my life, many people have claimed that I am a good man. I don’t deny that claim. I am an equal helping of light and dark. Inherently, I know I am good. I also know that darkness resides inside of my heart. Thankfully, God sees through my walls and knows what resides inside. He has always protected me and others from that darkness, even when I was at my lowest.

All I’ve ever wanted in life is to save others. Heroes save people. I’ve desired to be a fearless warrior and protector for the God I was taught guides our every footstep. All I’ve wanted is to show Him that I wasn’t always afraid; to show Him that I was someone He could be proud of.
