Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

What’s Your Story….Share so we can come together to help those who are experiencing challenges in their lives realize they are not alone in a very uncertain time in their life.

I want to share my story of how I came to create FMJ when my entire life changed in 2013, but really changed in 2017.

I used to be that person who would hear these stories and walk away with doubt in my mind until it happened to me. That is why I would like to share it with you. In the hopes that I can help someone else who is going through their valley or dark time in their life please know, it is not meant to end you, it is meant to “refine” you. I hope my story can give you strength.

In 2017 everything I knew to be "normal" for me changed abruptly. After two extensive spinal surgeries containing 21 screws and 20" total inches of titanium rods my entire life from the way I knew it was drasically changed. Coming to terms with accepting what you thought would always be you are forced to change was harder than my physical recovery (in which the two are more connected than we think). Once we accept the change and find that happiness again (that comes from accepting it) you will physically heal much faster.

In my downtime of literally 6 years I was urged in the Spirit to make good use of my time. What else can you do when you literally cannot walk? What you can do is make yourself useful.

I spent alot of time talking to God and if it were not for him, I would have given up ALONG time ago. If you ever question the validity of a devine intercessor please don't. God "ISRAEL"!!!!

Coming to the end of who you thought you were, is one of the hardest things you will ever experience. Finding the strength to embrace it and make those changes when you have lost everything is a must to continue in life or get “left behind”. If in anyway, I can HELP anyone who is struggling to believe in who God made you to be, I will have done part of my job since my "new life" was created in 2017. God will never let you down, JUST BELIEVE AND ACT on what he puts in your head and heart! Lets all make the world a better place.

Don't take things so seriously, because none of us get out alive but some of us get to "come back" and share our stories to help those understand how not to give up. God does have a good sense of humor, please remember that. Below is a list of organizations who are dear to my heart and journey. If you feel so inclined, please donate to their causes or share.
