One of the tag lines a minister use when they preach is lets keep it real.  My story begans when I fell to the decetive words of my silibings laughing at me because I was so strange. From my youth I have always had a deep love for Christ Jesus. Every time  I thought someone would pass going to church I wanted to go with them to  meet Jesus. This did not go well with my brothers and sisters.

It made my mother afraid that at such a young age all I wanted to do is know about God.. So in time I wanted to be the worlds normal to fit in with my sibilings. Not knowing just how unique I was. Time passed when I was old enough, big enough  and foolish enough I truned my back on God looking to be" normal" and "happy". I can't explain  the darkness, shame, pain, and  hopeleness sorrounded me.  I stayed away from some things but  did enough to know that my soul was feeling the  pains of hell.

I faught to get to God but I did not know which road to take, every road was  running into itself; when I had set my mind to give up and give in. Then God found me when I realized that He is GOD. See for me  to live unto God is life no matter how strange and driffent  it may seem or who laughs, mocks or makes fun.

To live a life full of darkness is a foolish life. On the night I planed to give up God caught me in the midist of my fall. HALLELUJAH! My life has never been the same. I'm not here to say rose petals have carpted my ever step, No. That would be a lie. But Jesus Christ has been there through thick and thin.

There has never been a faced trail where I would say why did I take your hand Lord. But there has been many times I asked why did I ever walk away. And for this I'm greatful. To everone I meet I encourage you don't be ashamed of  Jesus Christ. Because  HE is not ashamed of you. Today I'm married and co-pastor with my husband Bishop Dr. Allen L. Butler at Universal Church of Deliverance. A member of American Assication of Christian Counslors, an artist with Tate Music Group and filming for Live from Midtown: Atlanta. I'm humbled by God's grace and mercy.
