One of the things is that I've been very comfortable in every situation starting ministry in the inner city and ministering in places - Washington, D.C., feeding the homeless, the hurting, going to broken boys and girls. So culturally I understood all different aspects of life - from extremely wealthy to extreme poverty, socioeconomic differences, ethnic differences.

I am saying there is someone that I have a message and purpose for, that God will bring in my pathway, because one thing I'm committed is never to waste my trials in life, to find purpose in all things and especially the places of pain.

It was a moment [when I had found God] that so transformed my life. And I say this is so corny, but it was like the grass was green, the sky was blue. And I can't begin to articulate - as much as they say I'm a wordsmith - what really happened.

[Randy white] was such a huge part of my foundation and who I would become in God - from covering me - when you talked about being sexually abused and not having value for yourself - God so used Randy to cover me with unconditional love. And he saw something in me that I couldn't see in myself.

Some people left you for dead. They thought it was over. They said you're hopeless, you're helpless. You can't be used. You're not ministry material. You're going to be poor. You're going to be messed up.But guess what?Tell the devil, go to hell. You're a liar.

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.

Your future is found in your daily routine. Successful people do daily what others do occasionally!
