I myself would not be where I am now if it wasn’t for the love of God and God’s power to take a life and transform it beyond recognition. I would also like to thank all the people that make up ‘Today’s Community Church.’ There I met a God who was relevant to my life and loved me with more love than I thought possible. I found people who believed in me. People who taught me that I was here to win. People who accepted me just as I was, whilst seeing my potential and the person I could become. I found somewhere that valued my gifts, that released me to serve God and others, that taught me life is for living well. I met people that I am honored to share my life with.
