Giggy Memoir of A Witness

Preface

This memoir is about a Black male, who grew up on the Northend, a neighborhood located Northeast of Downtown Detroit, Michigan. When he got older, he moved to the city of Highland Park located in the middle of Detroit just minutes from his old neighborhood with his grandparents. Idolizing his father, enough to become a professional basketball player and a pimp leads this young man through an identity crisis. 

After graduating from high school, he struggles to make it to the next level of basketball...never giving up. While attending three different colleges, he encounters the prejudices of being a Black in a predominantly white college. After he completed college and received his Associate Degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management from Northwood Institute Business College and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management from Grand Valley State University a few years later, he falls into the trends of society to sell and use drugs, causing him to overdose on the drug crack cocaine. When near death, he made a vow to God never to use or sell the drug cocaine again.

While trying to rehabilitate his life, he promotes strippers and prostitution until he decides to retire from that type of life-style to search for the reason and purpose of his life. He discovers that his purpose in life is to study the word of God and to tell someone about the goodness of God’s grace.  Presently, today there is not one day that goes by that he does not think about the Lord Jesus Christ because he is a witness to life on the streets and a time to come. Every day is a battle to overcome the deceitful tricks of Satan, causing daily trials and tribulations. He learned that he would always be victorious against Satan as long as he kept the faith in Jesus Christ, read the word of God as often as possible, and kept the full armor of God on at all times. The full armor of God is the clothing that one would wear for battle. The helmet is for salvation, to be saved from sin; the breastplate is for righteousness; the sword is the spirit of God’s word, which will devour any and everything; and the shield is for the faith to defend against any evil. Wearing this armor will fill our body with the truth and prepare our feet for the gospel of peace. Read Ephesians 6: 11–17 to understand why the full armor of God is needed. We must understand that we do not battle against flesh and blood, but against principalities (jurisdiction of a prince), powers (sorcery’s of the false prophet), rulers of darkness of this world (Satan and the false prophets), and spiritual wickedness in high places (witchcraft).
