"This guy started approaching me, and I started thinking, 'Oh okay, he's just walking.' No, he was coming at me. I look at his waist and he has a gun showing, and he has tattoos on his face. I was raised where anyone with tattoos on their face has got to be really tough. I thought, 'Oh crap, he is about to turn any minute.' He comes at me and I think I peed a little, I was scared, no joke. He looks at me and goes, 'Yo you the dude that prays for people?' I said, 'I don't think I'm THE dude but I'm a dude that prays for people.' He said, 'No, but you're the little white dude that prays for people.' I'm like, 'Oh yeah, that is definitely me.' He said, 'Cool you're gonna pray for me real quick.' I was still scared so I wasn't sure where to put my arm. I didn't want to be awkward or get shot.

I organized a Christmas filled-stocking drive for the children that live in the community of Thomasville. The donation drive was conducted over a two month period. Advertised via social media, the drive sparked interest from many different areas and people.

The site I was visiting at the time, Forest Cove, was a smaller community. This helped in the fact that I only had three wee...
"My happiest moment was having my daughter. That was the happiest moment for me because I was told I couldn't have kids. I kept trying and it just wasn't working. But it was because of things I had asked God to protect me from, watching other children of my age at the time getting pregnant. I used to pray to God that he wouldn't let me get pregnant until I was married. It took me getting married and my wedding night is the night I got pregnant with her. Her spirit changed my life. I can be at one of my darkest moments, and take it out on her. She will just go in her room, come out, and act as if I did nothing wrong. She has this abundant joy within her heart that when I'm down she is the only one able to wipe it all away."
