At the age of 11 I was diagnosed with a massive brain tumor. This is odd to tell how we found it, but I'll tell you anyway. I was unloading our dishwasher, and my oldest brother was agitating me so, I hit him in the head with a wooden salad spoon. The date it happened was August 26, 1999.This date I'll remember forever, my brother was automatically rushed to the pediatric doctor to get stitches in his head. My mom met us there, she couldn’t believe what happened. When we get home, I had no memory of what had occurred that day. My mom asked me why I did it and I was in denial confusion? I was rushed to have an emergency MRI. The next day I was diagnosed with a massive brain tumor in the back right temporal lobe of the brain. My pediatric doctor sent me to Emory Hospital of Atlanta. On September 9, 1999 at 5:30 AM I had surgery at Emory Hospital. It was a very long operation family was worried, but they were in prayer. I woke up after 18 hours of surgery and a doctor not in Christ saying to my mom, your son will not fully recover from this. The doctor said he was an atheist. After the surgery, I went through a very long physical therapy session. For nine months I was more likely to vegetable and knew nothing. All I wanted was food. June 11, 2000, I went under a second Brain tumor operation. I had A Christian doctor this time & he said I can remove this Brain tumor because my hands work for God! At the age of 12, I was in the OR again and after 8 hours of a massive brain tumor, I woke up and spoke clear language and asking for my mom and for chicken, she came into the room crying. From going from one doctor telling I'll never walk, talk etc. again. To a Christian Doctor telling me I've got a calling on my life. I'm also brain tumor free. My doctor removed part of the right temporal lobe of the brain. For 15 years I had epilepsy, had mild seizures. But I'm here today to tell that I'm seizure free and a walking miracle! I’m now on oral chemo for tumors that are throughout my body, but it shall soon pass. I’ve had at least 30+ surgery’s and now, God has called me to become a Special Needs Children’s Pastor. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Now from health to Church life…. I grew up as a Lutheran, I wore a suit with a tie & nice shiny shoe. Listening to the Pastor, thinking I was living the correct lifestyle. But I really wasn’t! I was stuck in religion; stuck & I didn’t want to get out of it. I wanted to stay in the lifestyle I was in! I wanted to continue to steal & lie, cheat etc. I thought this was the correct way to live as a Christian. I really wasn't a  Christian at that time, I have no doubt If I had died on that OR bed in that Brain tumor Surgery, I would have gone to hell. I was in religion for many years. I even tried a Baptist church; it just didn't work. Until my family moved to South Carolina In 2011, I Joined a Church called NewSpring. I was a full-time volunteer with the Special needs department called Spring Zone. I was finally tired of living the lifestyle I was in. I now know every knee shall bow every tongue shall confess. So did my Pastor there. It was a warm, powerful service!  December 21,2012 6:30 pm Fully alive Series. Pastor Perry Noble was wearing a half black & white coat. Half Black & White pants, black shoe & white shoe. Well, the point of this is he said do you want's to be on the road to distraction? Or do you want to be on the road to paradise? I knew right then it was my time too, give my life to Christ. 

I did. From there on my life fully changed. Two weeks later I was baptized 1-13-13. I still have tumors that grow throughout my body, but my God is faith full. Now I've been called by God, from all I've been through to become a Pastor for kid's with disabilities!  My God is faithful indeed.
