I am truly amazed at what God has done in my life since that day in May 1971 back in Michigan when things had gotten so difficult that I had lost all hope. The only real choice for me was to turn everything in my life over to Him and let Him lead and control my life. My prayer for you, as you read through my journey, is that you will get a glimpse of how God can and wants to walk with you through even your most hopeless situation and bless you on the other side in ways beyond anything you can imagine. As you will see, He put me in places and situations where I would never have predicted or expected, but they turned out to be exactly where I needed to be for Him to use me and bless me and my family. It was nothing like the path I had planned for my life, but it turned out far better. Nothing stated in this autobiography is meant to brag or draw attention to anything I accomplished, but is simply presented to express a thankful heart and bring praise where it belongs, to God alone!
