I first want to start by saying I am nothing without God my Lord and savior. I give him all the glory. He has been so good and merciful to me and my household. He has given me favor through out my life. And given me a beautiful, kind, and loving wife, along with encouraging parents and a very loving sister. I love you all very much without you I don’t know where I would be. God has truly blessed me! Along my travels he has placed certain individuals to encourage and support me, Without divine intervention I know life would be different in a not so good way. God knew who to send and how to send them at key moments in my life. Over the years he has stretched me and allowed me to fall time and time again due to my disobedience and stubborn ways. Just like a true father does when he is teaching his children. I know that I have a long way to go, but I’m grateful I’m not where I used to be. I now live my life to serve him and others. Through this business that he has blessed me and my wife with I can do so. We dedicate it to him from the name to who we hire is for his glory. We based the name off of 2 Corinthians 5:17 If anyone be in Christ he is a new creation old things have passed away all things have become new. The help we hire we bring God to them in a lead by example way. We know that we may be the only bible someone might read.
I have not always been a Christian, but did always believe there was a God. Over the years I prayed and got tattoos and put crosses in my houses. I showed up on holidays and when I was hurting to Church. I would read the Bible occasionally. I went as far as the one time when I was searching to memorize scripture and ask myself tough questions (soul-searching). I didn’t take long for the enemy in my flesh to rule in rain in my life once again. Not until I was at a point in my life that I was broken. I cried out and he showed up in a mighty way! Well, he has always been there, but now I was face-to-face with him. He placed a gentleman in my life to train and raise me up. We had a lot of tough moments the pain was severe, but as time went on God open my eyes and the scales were removed. I will call this time my Boot Camp for Christ. I was isolated for years. All I did was study, memorize scripture, fast and worship. During these times is when I got baptized. I prayed for a God-fearing wife. I had never been married and always wanted to, but I lived by the world‘s ways and their standard was just to live together with no commitment. Let me say this he gave me a wife that is more precious than gold. Without her I would not be the man I am today. Now I would love to say we wrote often into the sunset and lived happily ever after, but remember the enemy is here to seek, kill, and destroy. If you believe in God then you must believe in the enemy. Over the next 10+ years we have had a lot of ups and downs. I went as far as to walk away from God completely, but remember he who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus. Today I try to be a willing vessel and serve his people and work on emptying myself as Paul did by dying daily. We must crucify the flesh cause living in the world is full of temptations and distractions that don’t matter when we sit before the judge. So through the sanctification process, praying and studying the word of God and listening to Godly council, we can know what his will is for our lives. And remember that when we are weak, he is strong. His yoke is easy and his burden is light. He has more invested in us than we doing in him. We know it’s more then going to church on a Sunday and listening to Christian music or doing a devotion. He wants a relationship with us. Scripture says that own judgment day many will say, Lord Lord did we not prophesy in your name, cast out demons in your name, and perform miracles in your name, and he will say depart from me I never knew you.
In closing remember the days are short! I want to be told on that day well done my good and faithful servant. If there’s anything we can do to help please feel free to email, call or text. We always have time for fellowship and speak about our God.
May the grace of our Lord be upon your spirit.
We love you, from the NLP Family
