Don't let your history hinder you from your destiny... you are only held back by yourself! You aren't what they say you were, you are who God says you are!!

That defining moment at my friend's house, when his uncle looks in my eye and reads me the word of God, I have an awakening.

Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.

I can go on and on. In the Appalachians. I fed the poorest part of this nation for years coming up at Christmas.

I talk about things like how to lose without losing identity. All loss and grief feels like when you transition.

I can begin to give God attributes. He's a counselor. He's a healer. He's a friend that sits closer than a brother. To me, he just - I sum it up that he's my anchor, my rock, my foundation in life, that my life was - had an emptiness - a deep, dark void with something - it had a lot of fulfillment externally, but something inside said there's more.

Good means ultimately he's producing character in me to conform me into the image of Christ.
