I came to Stoney Point in August of 2006. The journey to this place of ministry was not an easy one but I am sure of this one that: That God placed me here! I am truly thankful for the leadership of God in my life and my only regret is that I haven't always followed God's will to the letter.
I was born November 30, 1977 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi at Forrest General Hospital. We have lived in Picayune, Hattiesburg, Bendale, and Ramsey Springs. My parents live in Ramsey Springs, in East Stone County, Mississippi to this day.
I remember well the first times I was convicted of sin. My grandfather, Eld. Curtis Nobles, was preaching a series of revival services at his home church, West Black Creek Baptist Church, just west of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. I am not sure now just which service in this morning and night revival that I begin to be convicted of the fact that I was a sinner. I had never done anything seriously wrong. Of course, I had been disobedient to my parents . Most definately, I had entertained thoughts that were sinful. I became convinced that without trusting Jesus as my Savior, I wouldn't be able to live in Heaven when my time on this earth should end.
The following week, our home church, Calvary Missionary Baptist Church, in the Big Level Community, about 7 miles east of Wiggins, Elder Bennett Lowery was preaching a week-long revival. On Tuesday evening, I was so convicted of my sin that upon arriving home and later going to bed, I asked God to save me. That night, I was given an assurance that I still have today some almost 21 years later.
I am thankful for Jesus who died to save me. I am thankful that He keeps me. I am thankful that He will take me to Heaven to live with Him in the last day. I plan to write more of my experiences and journey through ministry. Other times, I will write about Bible subjects. Other times, it may be just general ramblings.
