1st let's set the stage:

Very very bad 2nd marriage, working 16-18 hr days, 1st exwife taking me to court just about every other month.

then let's add some other legal issues to the fire.

I finally said " I quit " ..I drove a 1977 beautiful fird f150 over a 200ft cliff, at the bottom is a irrigation canal ( aprox. 20ft deep and 50 yrs wide..come right from a dam) Folded the truck in 1/2. I remember being on the passenger floor and hearing a voice saying "are you ready to try life through me" the next thing I remember is being on the other side of the canal dry as a bone and paramedics asking me how I got there. I said " ok if your who you say you are then take care of all this B.S. I'm going through" and HE did literally all of it ( including the drugs and 18 hr work days)

I excepted Christ as my savior was baptized in a hottub in Feb 1999 with 3ft of snow on the ground.

My 1st ex got custody of our 2 kids ( she knew that would rip me apart..my kids where/ are everything to me) the Lord told me to sign the documents and HE would restore my kids again...Lord started my maintenance and remodeling business and did it flourish..1 day He told me to close it up( naaa thst wasn't Him) ..1 by 1 all my contracts disappeared..i found myself living in a camper, supplies coming from a food bank ( i volunteered at) He taught me that He supplies everything and can also take it away.

Fast forward 5 yrs I meet a lady on a Christian Bible study ( which mysteriously disappeared- no trace of it on the internet) the Lord tells me I'm to marry her ( Lord hello, 2 bad bad marriages..HE answered " you made those from the flesh, I'm making this one )through faith i moved from Idaho to NC having only talked to my bride on the phone .....thank you Lord ..this May we will be celebrating19 yrs. through a prison ministry, my daughter and I reconnected, (she search my name) I now have 5 kids ..4 whom all call me dad and we have a great relationship. My biological son wants nothing to do with me because of lies told to him growing up.

I pray he will one day have the scales removed from his eyes.

Thank you Lord you love this mess of a man that you reached into the pit of muck and pulled me out.

I ask myself regularly " what does He see in this wrech that He lives so much"

I vowed I would be His bond servant for life

Prayers and blessings to you all
