it is real..........

THE REASON I AM CHOOSING THIS TITLE IS DUE TO A RECENT EVENT IN MY PERSONAL WALK. I WANTED TO TELL YOU ALL WHY I STARTED THIS MINISTRY . I DID NOT START EXPOSING MYSELF TO THE PUBLIC TO MAKE A MILLION DOLLARS ,I DID NOT START SPEAKING TO KIDS ABOUT CHOICES SO I COULD GET MY FACE IN THE NEWSPAPER AND LOCAL MAGAZINES OR EVEN TO BE ON THE NEWS.
I STARTED THIS BECAUSE I WANT {AND BELIEVE I WILL} TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF THE YOUTH. I WANTED TO REACH{ EVEN IF IT WAS ONLY ONE KID AT A TIME} THE YOUTH. WHEN I WAS LIVING A LIE SO TO SPEAK AND MAKING RECKLESS AND CRAZY CHOICES I HAD NO IDEA THAT WHAT I DID 10 OR 15 YEARS AGO WAS AND WOULD AND DOES EFFECT THE WAY MY LIFE WAS TODAY.
I WANT THE YOUTH TO HAVE A CHOICE AND A CHANCE TO BE ALL THEY CAN . GOD IS A HUGE PART OF MY DAILY LIFE AND I THANK HIM EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE. I AM NOT THE PERFECT CHRISTIAN NOR DO I WANT TO BE PERFECT I WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE THE AUTHENTIC MAN I AM TODAY.
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET WITH ME . I WILL NOT HIDE BEHIND MY PAST OR PORTRAY TO BE SOMETHING I AM NOT.THIS IS CALLED LIVING IN REALITY. I HOPE TO BRING THIS MESSAGE OF CHOICE AND HOPE ALL ACROSS THIS COUNTRY ONE PRESENTATION AT A TIME AND IF IT IS MEANT FOR ME TO BE THE VOICE OF REASON TO THE YOUTH THEN THAT IS JUST WHAT I AM GOING TO DO.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED ME IN THIS MINISTRY AND TO ALL THOSE WHO WILL BE SUPPORTING ME IN THE FUTURE.
GOD IS LOVE AND HIS GRACE IS MERCY
