Thanks to a powerful sermon entitled “YOU WERE BORN FOR THIS” by my Pastor Mikeal Lovejoy, on January 21, 2021, the trajectory of my life’s course was changed. At the age of 53, and after years of contemplating when I would enter retirement from a profession to which I had devoted my life, I decided on March 4, 2021, when I hit send on an email to then Georgia DJJ Commissioner Tyrone Oliver. My life was changed in that emotionally draining moment in time. I understand my life’s calling, and as difficult as it seems sometimes, it is “MY REASONABLE SERVICE”. The Lord called me to serve, and THAT I plan to do.
