My testimony begins with a little bit of History about a Supreme Court case that changed the face(s) of America. Of course my story has a section titled, Once Upon a Time. However, I didnt exactly meet a Prince or live happily ever after. I lived among the non-fruits of the spirit like debauchery, selfish ambition, immorality and discord. This lifestyle eventually brought me to my knees and the only way out was to look up. By giving my testimony at a local church I was able to experience spiritual healing and share my story with you.
