Hey everyone, I want to share something really special with you. It's my story shortened and somewhat crazy, but I promise it's worth reading.
So, back in 1989, I know that is a long time ago before I was even born, there was this prophecy. Yeah, it's like something out of a movie, right? Anyway, this prophet guy tells my mom that she will have a baby. But get this – doctors had told her she couldn't have kids anymore. It was like a real-life miracle waiting to happen.
Fast forward to when I was born, and things got pretty scary. I got super sick with a fever of 100+. I even died for a few seconds on the way to the hospital. But thanks to a few prayers, I made it through. Then, when the doctors tried to give me a blood transfusion, something happened: I started to have seizures, which meant my body started to reject the blood; it turns out I have this rare blood type. Talk about luck, right?
Life was pretty chill after that; I grew up in a Christian home and in a Romanian community for a while but then came the teenage years. My family moved to Arizona when I was around 15-16, but I stayed in Michigan to finish high school. It was tough being away from my family; soon after they left, I kinda got mixed up with some sketchy stuff. I was into cars and loved to Modify and make them go fast. I also "raced" them down Woodward Ave, "In Mexico, of course 😉😉" lol only true car people will know that reference, and this guy I knew saw potential in me – so he got me into stealing cars. I know it's not my brightest moment.
Anyway, one night, things got really scary. We were dropping off a stolen car, and these guys showed up with guns. I was scared, but something inside me just wouldn't back down. Long story short, the gun was pointed at my head, and it jammed a few times. Yes, he pulled the trigger. That would have been the 3rd time I would have died, but I walked away. That was an actual wake-up call from God!
After that, I started getting more into my faith, and I wanted to understand who God was. So I began to go back to church, praying my heart out and reading the bible, and on December 11, 2006, I got saved! Soon after, I graduated high school and moved to Arizona, leaving behind my whole life, which I had built with friends and cousins.
But life in Arizona was still tough. I got mixed up with drinking, sex, fighting literal demons, and some other stuff I'm not proud of. But through it all, I felt God nudging me back onto the right path; soon after a nasty breakup, I could not take it anymore, so I dropped to my knees and cried to God to take it all back, and my literal words were "I tried everything without you God, but I now see that it is impossible. Father please take every burden and heartache away and I surrender it all to you Lord", like a light switch I felt a weight lift off of me and I got saved for the 2nd time and my fire started to burn again for God.
Then, in 2021, everything changed. I felt God pulling me back to Michigan, so I left AZ to start a fresh chapter in MI. And get this: After a year of living in MI, I met this amazing, God-fearing, beautiful girl named Naomi, the love of my life. It was like God was saying, "See, I told you everything would work out," because she was everything I prayed for in a Godly woman.
Now, Naomi and I are happily married, and we now are starting this company "Christ Forged Co." It's all about discipleship and faith, embodying the essence of walking in the footsteps of Christ, just like I'm doing now.
So yeah, that's my shorten story. It's been a wild ride, but it looks like my ride has yet to finish. If you ever want to chat more about it, hit me up because there is a lot more to my story!
Thank you for reading this, and may God Truly Bless You!
