Life Interrupted

What if you awoke one morning ready to begin your day like every other day, but instead of hopping out of bed you fell to the floor with half of your body acting as if it were paralyzed. This book recounts my harrowing adventure that began on March 7, 2013, when at the age of 25 I suffered a hemorrhagic stroke due to a birth defect. Never would I have imagined that death would stare me in the face at such a young age. Death has been and is a familiar and constant reality in the life of my family because my dad is a funeral director. I thought I had my future figured out, the plans had been drafted. I was in the midst of working on a master's degree, but all of that changed in a single day. My dreams have been transformed, but my principles remain grounded, my faith in God remains vibrant, and my ambition remains intact. I shall persevere against this unforeseen circumstance and develop into the man God has called me to be. God spared me from a premature death for a reason. I am here and I have a destiny to fulfill. This true story shares with you not only the miraculous events of that Thursday in March, but the subsequent recovery time, which I am still in the midst of. As you read my story I hope you are inspired and encouraged. I hope you might see God's faithfulness, His goodness and His ability to perform miracles today through my testimony. I am a young stroke survivor and I may have had my Life Interrupted, but I am also a redeemed son of the Most High God. I share my story with you to glorify the name of Jesus Christ.
