6Have you ever had so much disappointment in life that you wondered why you were ever born? Have you ever questioned why God would allow so much pain, disappointment, and heartache to come into your life? Well, I have and I did. This story gives a glimpse into my deep despair, how I blamed God for it, and how despite my stubbornness and pride, God's mercy and grace touched my life - and since that day I have never been the same! Wherever you may be in your life's journey, I hope that as you read this book you will be encouraged and drawn by the love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness of God Most High through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ! Born in Los Angeles, California. Most of my early childhood was spent in San Diego, California. My teenage and young adult life was spent mostly in Compton, California and surrounding areas of Los Angeles County. I have returned to, and currently reside in, San Diego. Retired from the State of California after 33+ years. For some time now I have felt compelled to share my testimony in writing, which has resulted in this book. I am very active in my local church where I am a licensed minister and lead our outreach ministry. My passion is sharing the gospel of the One and Only Savior, Jesus Christ and seeing souls transformed by faith in His name!
