My God Story

I’m glad that I have eternal life and a growing relationship with God. He has given me a new lease on life and helps me to face any fears plus strength to keep on.

In 2018, while at a beach near Galveston, Texas, I had a heart attack and was transferred by ambulance to the hospital where I had emergency heart surgery. One of the arteries to my heart had become blocked and the medical team was able to help open it back up. However, they informed me that the fix was probably temporary and encouraged me to travel back to my doctor in Charlotte, NC for follow up. My wife was driving and we made it as far as Montgomery, AL before I had another heart attack. I was in much pain and we stopped at Montgomery’s Baptist hospital. I joined the doctor who evaluated me in praying to Jesus for mercy and healing. Before they wheeled me on a gurney into surgery they gave my wife the opportunity to kiss me. In my mind, I wondered if it might be the last kiss we shared. Thankfully, I made it through the surgery and the doctor put in a stent to help save my life.

I am so grateful for God’s grace and that He has given me more time on earth to enjoy with my family and friends. I also have the opportunity to serve Jesus and share His good news with others. I know without a doubt that God is always with me and at the end of my life on earth I look forward to spending eternity in heaven with him!
