Walking Away From Yesterday Devin Avery Gotay

Does an operation table change our perspective on life? Well the operation table in my life did. I am one of 10 in my family and have been raised in the church since the age of 10. My years growing up we're an adventure but the fear of the Lord never left my side. I lived my life as most young men an woman did, who were eager to explore the world. I made plenty mistakes along the way but thought nothing of it. As a young man I began to forget about God, at least the things I knew were wrong. Until I was diagnosed with a heart conditioned that stopped a boxing career only God knew was not for me. No matter how good or athletic I thought I was, God will always know best. This condition has ever since been bitter sweet. Bitter because the moments of reoccurring symptoms are filled with tremendous concern and worry, but sweet as a reminder that it is important to serve the one and only true God for no time is promised to any of us. I will always thank the Lord for this has allowed me to understand the importance of Walking Away From Yesterday. The sin we willingly commit daily must be cut from our hearts so we can see the importance in serving the Lord. My mission since then is to minister in music and writing, and share what the Lord God has done in my life. I desire to decrease while he increases, and share his Word for he is the only way to salvation. My goal is to share and minister with all youth and adults from all over the world that God is first. I wish to see every youth as faithful servants to Jesus Christ for tomorrow is not promised but eternity in heaven is promised for all those who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior!
