I know that this particular section is to talk about my worthiness and my accolades, and so forth and so on. About a year and a half ago, I had a minor stroke. My equilibrium, my motor functions, my speech, and my ability to process and obtain information was depleted.
Even if I had a thought in my head, my ability to speak was so damaged to the point where I couldn’t formulate the words. So many failed attempts to be the man I once was, time after time, I thought my bettering in the particular situation was improving; however, it only sent me toward a path of more pain and heartache. I was truly lost, and struggling to make it through my day to day. But God!!! Although things got bad, to worst, to rock bottom, I never lost faith in God. Slowly but surely I began to regain a little piece of myself back day by day. It was only through the power of Jesus Christ that I am here today, with a strengthened faith, a hunger for success, and a new found purpose. I even found my wife and through my recovery she believed in me. My son and beautiful family were right by my side . So these books, theater creations, and movies, are not a virtue of me but it is testament of the God in me.
