I Was Raised Up

Yes, that's me two months after the horrific accident that left me with a traumatic
brain injury.  That is my victory picture...I looked like how I felt...
Happy and content in the Lord.  I was blooming where
I was planted, without even realizing it then.
 

One night in May 2004, on my way home from work at American Express, I had a near fatal accident on the Florida Turnpike.  Another careless, inconsiderate driver hit my car from behind, maneuvered away, and left me to die alone at night.  But I serve an awesome God, and through his goodness, he sent the Angels to rescue me.  

After that horrific roll over accident that left my car totaled and unrecognizable, I was able to walk away...yes, walk away from the accident without one outward scratch on my body, or a single broken bone.  Unfortunately, I suffered a traumatic brain injury and after one year of suffering from Post Concussive Syndrome, God provided healing.  

My daughter believes that it is a miracle, that prior to the accident I had hardly any clue about the computer, yet after I became healed, I am able to build websites without any instruction or formal training.  Yes, this is a gift from God and I intend to use it to uplift lives and bring substance to his children. 

So, in the audio  playing, (if you have your speakers on) you may be hearing 'You Raise Me Up', but it doesn't mean literally being risen up to heaven. This song is about the struggles we go through in life, when we feel like we've lost it all, and those around us who help bring us up to our feet.

It's about the special ones in our lives who can make us believe in ourselves, and give us a reason to live.  The ones who give us encouragement and the push to keep going when we are about to give up.  The loving, caring people who touch our lives and help us to remember to keep fighting until we achieve our God given destiny.


It's about a best friend, a mother, a father, a child, a grandfather, a sibling, a lover, a mentor, a creative business partner, who can help lift you up to heights you may never achieve on your own.  A service provider who can help you lift your business to higher heights and to deeper depths.  It's about you, reaching towards your true potential whether in business or in your personal life.  

It is about the dedicated, community oriented, caring members of our non-profit, voluntary organization, 
Family & Friends Connection, Inc.  who's motto is 'Work, Play and Live as One'

And it's about me!  Yes, I have been raised up with this unique gift as well a number of Spiritual Gifts...Are you ready to experience all the influence that you carry through your ideas and creative thinking?  Are you ready to get out of your comfort zone and try something different...for you, your family, and your business to reach another level? 

Are you ready to take your ministry to the unheard of corners of the Globe?  Are you ready to maximize your true potential?  Are you ready to increase your earning potential and maximize your stake in the world economy? What are you waiting for?


God is ready to help you...so step out in faith...Don't be afraid to dream BIG!  Reach for the stars.

Bloom Where You Are Planted.

Thanks to my beautiful daughter Lori-Ann, and her family for helping to raise me up, and showing me one more way, that I can help to affect positive change in the world, and improve lives and communities!
Begin to Bloom Where You Are  Planted.
