God’s Faithfulness and My Journey

My life has been a story of transformation by God’s grace, and I believe He can do the same in your life.

Years ago, in Nashua, NH, I first encountered Yeshua through my girlfriend. I accepted Him into my heart, and everything changed. My first pastor, Kyn, baptized me in his backyard pool, and El Shaddai began a work in me, step by step. As it is written:

“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6, NASB).

God was faithful, even when I lost sight of Him.

Later, I moved to Syracuse, NY, to help plant a church. I served in many roles and eventually became an ordained pastor. Yet the pressures of ministry became overwhelming. Burned out, divorced, and disillusioned, I walked away — not just from ministry, but slowly from God Himself. Nearly twenty years passed in a wilderness of silence.

But God wasn’t finished with me.

In October 2023, while seeking ways to prepare for retirement, I began writing books. What started as a practical effort quickly turned into something more. God led me to turn my photography into a devotional. His breath entered my spirit again:

“This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life” (Ezekiel 37:5, NASB).

The dry bones rattled. Life returned. I, who once avoided people, began pursuing them — to share His love. The Holy Spirit became my guide once more.

After this awakening, and a few false starts, I joined Freedom Worship Center in West Boylston, MA — a place of healing, worship, and restoration. There, the Lord renewed my vision and reconnected me to the Body. It was a season of refreshing, rebuilding, and preparation.

In May 2025, God stirred my heart again — not to leave the Church, but to go — I did not know where, but I believed God, and He led/leads me. I stepped away from formal membership but not from spiritual covering. One of the faithful brothers from Freedom Worship Center — a man who shares the same vision and heart for God’s Kingdom — agreed to walk alongside me. Though informal, his prayers, encouragement, and accountability have been a true gift.

While I may not belong to a single home church, I am not without fellowship, covering, or community. God has provided exactly what is needed for this season — brothers who walk by the Spirit, not by titles.

Today, I pray, seek the Lord, and attend houses as He leads — following His Spirit and making myself available to serve wherever I am sent. He speaks; I obey. They are seeds of truth — but I am only responsible for listening to the Lord and sowing His Word; the increase belongs to Him.

Encounters on the Journey

As I have traveled from house to house and church to church, I have seen firsthand that God orders our steps.

It’s not random. It’s not chance. It is the Sovereign hand of the Father, placing us exactly where we need to be at the perfect time.

I have walked into churches where the Word being preached was exactly the confirmation I needed for what the Lord had been whispering to my heart that week. I have met believers I had never seen before, who spoke words of encouragement that only the Holy Spirit could have orchestrated.

I have prayed quietly at altars and been met by the unmistakable presence of God — His peace washing over me without a word being said.

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way” (Psalm 37:23, NKJV).

And just as often, He opened doors for me to speak truth into the lives of others — sometimes through a simple conversation, other times through a quiet word of encouragement or prayer. These moments were never about my plans but about being available to the Lord, sowing His Word into hearts only He could prepare.

Some encounters were short — a handshake, a smile, a Scripture whispered in season. Others lingered longer, unfolding into deeper conversations about God’s love, hope, and restoration. I have learned that every moment surrendered to God can become a divine appointment.

Sometimes, the Lord sent me to simply listen, to observe, to pray silently in the back pew for a pastor or a people who didn’t even know I was there. Other times, He used me to water seeds He had already planted.

He is the Master of perfect timing, and when we surrender our steps to Him, He proves again and again that He knows exactly where we need to be.

God has protected me — through accidents, illnesses, and every season of lack and uncertainty. He has brought peace to my chaos:

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7, NASB).

When I lacked everything, He supplied:

“And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19, NASB).

When I felt too weak to continue, He strengthened me:

“My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9, AMP).

When my heart was broken, He healed it:

“I will restore health to you and heal your wounds” (Jeremiah 30:17, AMP).

Relationships once lost are being restored. Hope once dead is alive again.

I stand as a witness to this truth:

God’s promises are unshakable.

When He says, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5, NASB), He fulfills it.

When He says, “I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20, NASB), He means it.

When He declares, “I will fight for you” (Exodus 14:14, NASB), He shows up in power.

So I say to you — trust Him.

Let my life be living proof:

He is the covenant-keeping God, the promise-keeping King, and the Savior who never fails.

If He could breathe new life into me, He can do it for you.

He is faithful, and His love endures forever.
