breaking the hush

The beginning of ‘Breaking the hush’ for me, had to start with one man. Not this website or ministry, but actually breaking the hush in my own life. I was 20 and a senior in college when introduced to Pastor John through a mutual friend. The meeting was set up by my friend Nelz as a birthday present. It’s a long story and will be included in the book, but basically it was the sovereignty of God that put it all in order. Pastor John started meeting with me on a regular basis for mentorship. This was a new concept for me at the time but I realized that it was an answer to prayer. Around our third meeting, he had built up enough rapport with me that I was able to share with him my struggle with homosexuality and pornography. The freedom in being able to open up is something I will never forget! This is something that everyone dealing with my problem, taboo, should be able to experience. It opened up a path of healing and growth that would have stifled me otherwise. Don’t get me wrong, it hasn’t been all daisies and rainbows and I haven’t made all the right choices since, obviously, but without the help from this man setting me on the narrow way, I can only imagine where my soul would be headed! So today, I want to thank this man that I have learned from. Thank you for listening to the voice of the Lord way back then when He told you to meet with me and thank you for accepting and loving me even after knowing things in my heart that no other person did. Thank you for believing in God’s true, redemptive power for my life. It hasn’t been easy but it has all been worth it! I hope you have a wonderful birthday. I love you and miss you. Continue to do your part in breaking the hush!
