I was raised in a Christian home—always knowing the bible stories and about Jesus.
When I was 20 years old I decided to put my faith "on hold." I performed in a summer musical theater in Cape Cod. At the end of the summer, I realized that the Lord wanted me to sing for Him instead of the theater world.
Jump ahead 6 years. I was a pathetic, lonely single man. I thought that all I needed was to find a nice young woman to marry and then I would be taken care of. I kept trying to fill the whole in my heart with things other than God. Finally, one day in September of 2001, I got down on my knees, and asked the Lord to fill the loneliness in my heart. I surrendered all to Him.
Two weeks later I met my wife. We've now been married for four years, and recently the Lord reminded me again that I need to surrender all to Him. He's asked me to walk away from everything I've known. I am grateful to know that "My God shall supply all my need, according to HIS riches in glory!"
