I met a man in jail that nobody would talk to, his breath smelled bad, and he wasn’t the best person to look at; Nonetheless, God drew me to him. He was a good man who had never been to prison before. This man knew that I was getting out of jail, the day before my 30th birthday to be exact, and was asking God for direction; He had to be an angel or something! He gave me a name and phone number of a contact of his that would help me when I got out. Then, I followed his instructions which opened the door to the rest of my life. The crazy thing about this is that I knew absolutely nothing about being a barber, but I was putting God first. I know his instructions were leading me to become a Barber. When I sat down to take my Barber Licensing exam, I only trusted God’s voice, knowing that I put in the work and honored all that God has asked me to do. Next thing you know, I received my Barber’s license and I’m pretty good! I remember one time I woke up about 4am and I had a vision of how to make a hair unit aka “man weave”. The next day I made one solely by following God’s instructions from the dream and this dramatically increased my finances. I began to meditate on doing a “perfect haircut” and then I received another dream on how to make that happen. I truly was trusting and relying on Him. The moral part of my story is that you have to trust your relationship with God. Everyone’s experience is different, but God has never let me down and he won’t let you down either. You must know that if God is with you, who can be against you? God was with me and will continue to direct my path. Another instance of putting God first, attracted my wife to find me, Taryn. She saw the haircut of another child and asked their mother who cut her son’s hair. Then she checked out my Instagram and called me to cut her two son’s hair. I didn’t know how good I was at cutting hair. My wife was the person who kept saying that I was “the best barber she had ever seen.” She also shot the first video of me cutting hair. My wife truly helped to motivate me to grow deeper and strive for more. I trust in God and will continue to put Him first. God has positioned me to teach other people how to change their thoughts, speak life over their situation and to trust God knowing that nothing is impossible for you. KEYS TO SUCCESS:
