God will give you anything as long as you understand that He is the primary and not the secondary. TD Jakes

Walking In God’s Favor: And, of course, it is very good if a man has received wealth from the Lord and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and to accept your lot in life—that is indeed a gift from God. The person who does that will not need to look back with sorrow on his past, for God gives him joy. Ecclesiastes 5:19 TLB

Embrace Your Faith

You must choose to walk in God’s favor. God will not force Himself on you. He has given you a free will. We believe God values your independent thoughts and creativity.

A relationship with God will not happen by accident. You must be willing to surrender your heart to God on a continual basis. God finds favor with you when you trust Him and have faith in Him regardless of your life’s circumstances. God loves you and wants the best for your life.

Finding Your Voice & Caring For Your Soul

Whatever God does for you is for your good and His glory. You don’t really understand how intimately God wants to abide in you. I clearly remember a God moment when I was 19 years old serving in the U.S. Military. I sensed that God’s best for me was more than the military even though I really enjoyed my six-years of military service.

One the best things that happened to me during my military service is I met and married Ardella on the Island of Guam. The military also afforded me the opportunity to travel to over 15 foreign countries and 4 continents. As I traveled thousand of miles around the world, my desire to move closer to God increased.

Maximum Empowerment

Upon surrendering my heart to God, I gave Him total reign over my life. I willingly volunteered to serve Him for the rest of my life. I happily share my journey with meaningful others how faith has made a difference in my financial life.

Today, Ardella and I are thankful for the love, peace, joy, goodness, abundance, and protection He provides for us. I am also thankful that God is patiently growing my character as a leader, husband, father, grandfather, and businessman.
