  THE BREAKTHROUGH

  As a teenager, I was suicidal, drowning in PTSD from relentless bullying. Then, one day, a Hawk Nelson song found me exactly where I was. It gave me something to hold onto. The Lord used a song to literally save my life, and now I get to create music to do the same for others. When Jason Dunn, Hawk Nelson’s lead singer, agreed to sing on my song, “This One’s For You,” it was such a full-circle moment. That song, like many others I’ve written, is for anyone who's been in that dark place. My heart is to be a voice for… Read More

  Children Overcoming Obstacles

  MY TEENAGE JOURNEY TO JESUS

  When I was a kid, I always felt like something was missing in my life. I grew up in a Christian household, believed in God, and knew about Jesus, but I was unsure about my future. Things were tough—I was homeschooled and didn’t have any friends growing up. At just 9 years old, I fell into depression. At 13, I attended a youth group for the first time, thinking it would end my loneliness. I was happy to go, but I was more focused on making friends than the service. Sadly, I ended up being bullied and even had someone try… Read More

  Hospital Overcoming Obstacles Prayer

  WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

  I was at the store when I got an urgent phone call from my wife, Blessie. It was July 12, 2024, and she was seven months pregnant, but there was a problem. She was bleeding. I rushed home and took her straight to the hospital. They took her right to labor and delivery. The doctors and nurses took over six hours checking her and trying to decide if they should do a C-section. When my daughter was born, she was incredibly pale and had no heartbeat. “We’re sorry for your loss,” they told us. My wife responded, “Keep trying.” With every… Read More

  Loss Of Loved One Overcoming Obstacles

  A WOMAN OF PROFOUND STRENGTH

  Not long ago, I had the family I longed for when I married my husband. When I found out I was not able to have children, I felt my world was shattered. I was wrong. I adopted a child who was five months old, and then another at three years old. I had my family and did everything families would do. Then, the unexpected happened and my world started to shatter. My husband got sick. With two children eight and under, I had to pull it together and find strength. I told my girls, “Daddy is sick and needs to have a kidney… Read More

  DEALING WITH LIFE’S ROUGH WATERS

  For as long as I can remember, the ocean has been my refuge; I found solace watching the waves; they were my only escape from a tumultuous childhood. I was the eighth of nine children born into poverty in a beachside town in Costa Rica. My neighborhood was nicknamed “little hell.” My mother walked out on my family when I was four, dramatically changing the course of my life. I still vividly remember the moment she loaded her suitcase into a taxi and rode off, leaving me confused and crying in the dusty street. My father turned to alcohol to deal with… Read More

  Overcoming Obstacles

  FULLY SURRENDERING

  Growing up in a physically and mentally abusive home, I often asked myself, "What's wrong with me? Why was I born? How can I be better?" These questions lingered into adulthood. From a young age, I recognized that my mama was hurting from the abuse she endured. At nine, I learned that the man I thought was my father was actually my adoptive dad. I craved acceptance and sought love in all the wrong places, but I didn’t know how to love myself. At 21, I married the man I thought I would be with forever, hoping for a "normal" life… Read More
