Backstory

I am blessed
At a time in my life such as this I find myself challenged and on a quest . A true" search for significance ."
An oath I swore to our heavenly father has led my to a path of twists and turns that would rival any back packing trip I've ever completed .( the oath spoken was God ,I'm your man I'll go where ever you send me . I won't question you. I will ask questions but will not question you. I am not God. You are. Not me . Make it where I can go and I'll play guitar for you and any artist you desire of me. )
This oath took me for eight months traveling 400 miles every weekend and sleeping on floors ,bunk beds ,and couches , to minister as a music missionary to the Orlando areas. While maintaining a full time job. The miracle was I had lost everything including my car . So I learned that god does provide.

My journey begins in south Florida
With many clients saying goodbyes
And a handful of friends offering love and support.
As a hairstylist of 20 years I realized that my interests have switched from hair to caring deeply about the needs of my clients. I began to minister on the job . So much that it gas led me to my new calling .
I have total peace as I pack my belongings. Eliminating what is too much and keeping what may be used in the future.
God has told me " the less of you you have the more of me you will have "
So i make the cuts.
My prayer is to sell It all in one swoop...
In three weeks I will drive to Nashville
Unload and begin at the TBN facility where I will attend a three day conference for worship leaders .
I am very pumped about this as I anticipate what god might do there.
I have learned much so far . One phrase I love is radical sacrifice equals radical reward.
My heart is for gods will to be done on earth as it is in heaven .
People are in denial about Thier fate
With out Jesus . Gods heart is to say as many as would allow .
I gladly give up my junk and " security "to help snatch them from the jaws if hell.
My good friend Robert always told me " find your purpose" " get on purpose"
"Find your passion and live it "
Ok ok I'd say until I got it . He was correct.
Breakdown:
I am to go. I am to trust, retire from hair dressing, travel light, serve at the anchor church in Nashville ,
"Grow where your planted ",
Allow them to bless a prophet ;stand back and watch god open doors . As he sees fit .
It's all very radical .
God will provide .
My ministry begins then. As Nashville is my promised land.
These next weeks will be tough as I anticipate but I am at peace .
For I am the PRESENCE. BRINGER!
