Sometimes it takes faith!!

In February I looked in the mirror and did not like what I saw. I had become obese. I weighed 375 pounds with blood pressure of 160/110 and a AIG level of 6.4. (Diabetic is 6.5.) Something had to change. I was at a church where I was dying on the vine with persecution on every front. I started as a chaplain with a hospice company. I wanted my life to change. Finally after attack after attack from so called Christians I left the church as pastor. Then church members lied and made calls to my employer and I was released from my job. I was at rock bottom. We had to move out of the pastorate with only my 2 weeks vacation pay. It is real hard for not to be bitter over these events but thanks to my Faith, I am not.

 Now here we are now. I lost 45 pounds, my AIG level is 5.4 and I am on my way to being better at 48 than I was when I was 21. It all started with faith to make a change. I am an Advocare advisor and I am planting a Church called Impact Church with a focus on reaching the lost without being tied to deacon boards (which are unbiblical) or other man made traditions that have kept the Church from completing its mission. Simply preach the Gospel and love people and make disciples! It is called the Book of ACTS. Well pray for me as I enter this new season in my life and pray we make an Impact!!
