Thank You for carrying me through darkness I don’t even have words for. Through nights I didn’t think I’d survive. Through confusion. Through loss. Through pain that didn’t show on the outside but nearly broke me on the inside.
There were seasons I was lost in my own head. Fighting battles nobody saw. Trying to stay alive in ways people don’t talk about.
My therapist once told me: “You don’t even realize how strong you are. You’ve been through so much. You struggle with things that would take most people out… and you’re still here. You’re not in jail. You’re not dead. You’re in my office. You’re still standing.”
That humbled me.
Because she was right. And only You know how close I came sometimes.
God, You kept me.
When I could’ve turned bitter. You made me gentle. When I could’ve turned cold. You kept my heart warm. When I could’ve stopped caring. You taught me empathy.
I’m still here. By Your grace.
47 years. Still breathing. Still believing. Still trying to live right. Still trying to love people. Still trying to walk in purpose.
I’m not perfect. I’m not spectacular. I’m just real.
And tonight… I’m proud of who I am.
There was a time I couldn’t say that.
I’ve made mistakes. I’ve fallen. I’ve hurt. I’ve learned the hard way.
But I’m not that man anymore.
If you knew me then… Let me reintroduce myself now.
I’ve been rebuilt. Reinvented. Refined.
By fire. By tears. By prayer. By grace.
Scars you can’t see. Battles nobody knows. But You saw all of it, God. And You never left.
I wouldn’t trade lives with anyone.
I’ve traveled too far. Survived too much. Learned too deep.
I’m not where I’m going yet. But I’m thankful for where I am.
And I’m ready now.
Ready to be who You called me to be. Ready to live with conviction. Ready to walk in purpose. Ready to love louder. Ready to lead with humility. Ready to serve with my whole heart.
I’m not who I am because of where I’ve been.
I’m who I am because of where You’re taking me.
And after 46 years of pain, trauma, lessons, and growth…
I AM STILL HERE!!!!
Thank You, God.
For another chapter. For another chance. For another breath.
Hey Fam, I really wanted to share with you what dinner has looked like over the last few days. I have to be honest, I’m having a really good time cooking for Lexi. And seeing her reaction when she takes the first bite, feels great. No, I will not turn my channel into a cooking channel. All of you have been so encouraging, I wanted to share…. Oh, and I’m making her breakfast before she leaves for work today. I'm making her Blueberry pancakes.

If there were no embarrassment…
No fear of looking delusional…
No financial constraints…
No “what will they think”…
What would you actually build?
That answer is usually where big thinking begins. 🧠✨

It’s midnight.
January 30th.
Chapter 47.
God… thank You.
Thank You for carrying me through darkness I don’t even have words for.
Through nights I didn’t think I’d survive.
Through confusion.
Through loss.
Through pain that didn’t show on the outside but nearly broke me on the inside.
There were seasons I was lost in my own head.
Fighting battles nobody saw.
Trying to stay alive in ways people don’t talk about.
My therapist once told me:
“You don’t even realize how strong you are.
You’ve been through so much.
You struggle with things that would take most people out…
and you’re still here.
You’re not in jail.
You’re not dead.
You’re in my office.
You’re still standing.”
That humbled me.
Because she was right.
And only You know how close I came sometimes.
God, You kept me.
When I could’ve turned bitter.
You made me gentle.
When I could’ve turned cold.
You kept my heart warm.
When I could’ve stopped caring.
You taught me empathy.
I’m still here.
By Your grace.
47 years.
Still breathing.
Still believing.
Still trying to live right.
Still trying to love people.
Still trying to walk in purpose.
I’m not perfect.
I’m not spectacular.
I’m just real.
