Normally it takes 4 or 5, but It was my last semester after 13 years at Montclair State, and I had to drop all of my classes because I was hit with an atomic bomb that left complete devastation in every area of my life.   

I thought it was over after ten years, but it got worse, it got so bad I checked out of my existence.  Nineteen years later the LORD checked me back in, a totally different person.  Sometimes when I hear myself speaking I don't even recognize myself.  I'm a stranger to my own being because I was stripped down to nothing no job, no family and no friends, just the Trinity.  I was in a spiritual wilderness, and the only thing that kept me sane was creating songs to help survive emotionally. Nineteen years of my life a blur when the LORD checked me back into my life. Years of complete devastation, 10 years preparing a child to die, in a blink of an eyes three generations, a wife, her mother and her daughters domestic violence murder suicide, attacked by a dog in the hospital for two weeks, a professional, personal, financial and spiritual meltdown. This is not even half of what I been through. The good thing is that's the past and now I'm living how it was all connected to my Purpose.

I have been checked back into my life by the Trinity with ordered steps, gifts, talents and emotionally free talking about emotional recovery!y.
