Me, Jesus and the Rollercoaster: My Astounding Stories of How Jesus Christ Changed My Life.
()
About this ebook
Jesus has been my inspiration my entire life. I’m not saying life has been perfect, and after you read my book, you will come to understand that as a young person, I was given several gifts of spirit by God. But it took me years to understand what and why things were happening to me and why I am able to see things and know things about others without being told about their situation. It was later that I found out they were gifts of the spirit.
I hope you enjoy reading my book, and I pray that God ministers to you throughout my experiences and that your faith will grow even more after reading my stories. I had to understand that you have to go through the bad times in order to appreciate the good ones.

MY LIFE
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer, my God is my rock, in whom, I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.
The cords of death entangled me; to torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.
In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help.
From his temple, he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.
The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry.
Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it.
He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.
He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.
He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him the dark rain clouds of the sky.
Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Highest resounded.
He shot his arrows and scattered the enemies, great bolts of lightning and routed them.
The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at your rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of breath from your nostrils.
He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.
He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.
They confronted me in day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support.
He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.
Psalms 18: 1 – 19
-JESUS OF NAZARETH
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Life is funny when you think you have it all planned out, and there is no one that could ever take away your love, direction, faith or joy; think twice, because it could happen. When life seems like its slipping away and your joy and faith starts fading if you are not paying attention the enemy will take everything right before your eyes and you won’t even realize it until it’s gone. Always be on your guard knowing his whole purpose is to steel, kill and destroy everything you ever loved.
I hope and pray that my story gives you answers or even a heads up for whatever is happening in your life today. I hope it helps you to become a more positive and a stronger person than I ever was and know that you can face anything no matter what happens, because you deserve everything that God has promised you according to his word. You are a precious stone that is worth more than diamonds and gold and Jesus wants to bless you with everything that he holds in his kingdom; after all, he designed heaven just for you, so just because you live here on this earth it does not mean you have to settle for it.
So get up! Grab the bull by the horns, take back what rightfully belongs to you, your faith, your hope, your dreams and run with it. The Lord said in his own words. You shall go and do greater things than me in my name.
If that’s a lie, he told it. Do you think he lied? Absolutely not! He said it and his word does not go void, never forget that he is the…. King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Amen.
CHAPTER 1
My Mom’s Confession
M y Momma, where do I begin? How do I begin? The very essence of her beauty was captivating. The spirit of her life was so beautiful and the love for her children meant more to her than her own life, but after my conversation with her I was not sure how to feel at the moment.
One particular evening I invited my parents over for dinner we had a great time and my momma knew how to make me laugh and see things in a different perspective. Later that evening as my parents started to walk out the back door to go home my mom stopped me at the doorway and said something that I will never forget as long as I live. At the age of Forty-Two Years old and hearing this for the first time was shocking, but she felt it was time to get this off her chest and tell me anyway. She first started off, saying; I want you to understand something out of all my children you are my blessed one.
With much surprise and a little bit of confusion in my mind all I could think of was WOW! What brought that on? Well she said; I have to tell you something and I know you are going to be upset with me, but you have to listen to the whole story, because what the Lord told me is going to change everything on how I felt about you before you were born. I said; You have my attention, Mom. After hearing what she had to say, I felt like I was so alone in this world, talk about a bombshell on someone, silence was so golden you could hear a pin drop. My mom could only imagine what was going on in my mind, because the look on my face was enough to bring instant tears to her eyes. Now keep in mind, when momma and dad first got married and after four years of trying to have a child my parents, were told by three surgeons that my mom would never give birth, because she was born with an infantile uterus that never grew and after several years of praying and believing God made all things possible. This was a woman that every time she heard she was pregnant she jumped for joy and thanked the Lord God Almighty for a baby because having one was a miracle.
As she began telling me, what she has held in for so many years, I guess you might say I was just as surprised to hear her say them. Momma said; you see honey, when I found out that I was pregnant again for the seventh time I was so disappointed and I just didn’t want to have another baby while saying this she began crying, knowing in her heart that to have a child was a blessing in disguise. And in her plain words
I didn’t want you" matter of fact I thought I was done and I dreaded the thought of being pregnant again and all I could think of was our financial situation we were in, it made me dread having you even more at that moment my heart sunk. How do I handle this? My mom never wanted me! As my eyes faced the floor, I was on unfamiliar grounds and it
