I am married
I am a male
I am 58 years old.
My birthday is: April 4th.
I live in Sedona Az USA
I was a missionary in Mexico for 5 years. I'm now working as a carpenter and glorify God and touch peoples lives any way I can. I do art work and design furniture
I was 23 years old in 1978 ,a hippy kid who was yes, involved in the drug culture. I had commited my life to Christ at 13 years old in a presbiterian summer camp in Maryland,but had gotten away from Christ because of peer preasure and the lost state of the country in the mid 60's, Vietnam war riots, etc. In California at the time The Lord touched my life, I was a bit of a loner ,growing pot,hanging out and in and out of construction jobs during the recesion of the time.I was searching albiet in mistaken and dead end paths,Oriental religions, Buddism,Hinduisim and other new age versions of isims.I began to get a bit angry at the lack of work and was heading toward the dark side. One night there in bed I cried out ,and said ,'God if you are there show me in some way ,because I don't see life as worth living.
That morning I woke up and for some reason felt the need to brush my teeth at 2 AM. I then went back to bed and went to sleep.I woke up to the sound of wind in my room and comming into my room through my closet was a light which felt like the phisical presence of pure love. I had a choice to refuse or to receive this presence, which I know now was The Holy Spirit .I began speaking in tonges and had no idea what tounges were, being a devout secular pagan at the time . I actually began singing in the spirit for a short time. It was an amazing experience,God rescued me out of darkness in that moment,supernaturally, a divine visitation and I know I'm very priveledged. After that time my entire countanance changed,people even said I looked different. Though it took some time for me to get involved in any church group I knew that God was real and no longer some ancient fable.
I began reading the bible in bits and spurts and would find myself crying as The Lord directed me to different pasages. This experience with Christ led me to a christian home in Boise Idaho, where I became part of a house ministry, and later to Mexico as a missionary.God is good and gives us new adventures daily if we remain fresh and open to his voice.
