How I met Jesus
i lived in California at the time I was on top of the world, cocky, arrogant, and worked out for 3 and a half hrs a day surfing, lifting, running, I was an ex wrestler captain, I was in 20 fights in 4 yrs, then went out with a girl into white wicca witch craft (Amy) and things got crazy when I left her for new girl (Wendy) whose now my wife, she insinuated she would do things to old boy friends while I was with her if they did her wrong......... , but it would fall back on her 7 times she said. I broke my surf board, hurt my stomach, and hurt my foot so I couldn’t lift, run, or surf, then I thought Amy put a spell on Wendy after some things that happened (I saw a spell at Amy’s house I shouldn’t of seen with some of the writing saying I grind my mind into the heart of Wendy) I thought Wendy cheated on me, so after all the sports injuries the girl I loved taken (luckily I was wrong with that part) my world had fallen apart I thought Amy had the devil against me.
i ran full speed for God, found him, his peace beyond comprehension and was radically and powerfully saved! wow did my life, world, and everything change. unbelievable life altering transformation. I couldn't get the bible out of my hand, i wanted to move in and live at church everyday cause of his presence and peace I felt there, I bible studied every day at work, went to studies at night and church on Sunday's things were indescribably awesome!!!!!! i married my beautiful wife and before i did i wanted to go out with a bang retiring from triathlons so i planned and completed a full iron man (2.4mi swim-112 mi bike in hills-26.2 mi run) with only 12 weeks of training as I never ran more than 6 miles 12 weeks before the race. I did this through Jesus who gave me strength phil4:13 (we can do anything thru him). i was never a big student, but I started going to college was getting A's and B's was delivered from a 17yr w**d addiction and other things, God was at work in my life and I wanted all to know him. I prayed I wouldn’t get in anymore fights and haven’t been in one in 33yrs all by Gods power, grace, and miraculousness. A yr later in Isaiah 45:7 I read God controls the light and the dark, the good times and the bad times, I the lord do all these things, so I realized even if Amy had any control God allowed it meaning he is ultimately in control and I lost fear of her and satan from that point on. The tremendous confidence I had in myself I felt God wanted me to put in him.
I now follow him, want him, have him, and want everything to do with him. I love my family (my wife and kids are beyond ridiculously awesome and a massive blessing) my church, Christ community church, i love telling everyone in the world about him, and love and look fwd to the future! I do something, bible study or church or preaching related daily and try and serve when and where I can. I also was called to go to bible college while fasting for 10 days and have most recently felt hes calling me to seminary. please pray for continued strength and direction.
