My name is Chris; born in 1960 in beautiful Long Beach, California. I grew up in the suburbs of Huntington Beach, California. I have been married and had four children that have given me two grandchildren. My life has been anything but easy; growing up with and enduring through much racism and bullying in my youth.
I had wanted to grow up and be very successful in my life. I had dreams, goals, and a plan for my life. However, over the years i slowly learned that God had a completely different life plan laid out for me. It lead to an alteration of my hopes and dreams. Still, through all of my afflictions i remained steadfast and true in my belief in God. It is that love of God and my firm belief in Him that i truly believe has carried me to this point in my life.
I fought hard to live the life that i wanted so badly to live, but in the end i realized that God’s plan for me supersedes my ideas of what i want. So no matter how hard i fought against it at times i realized that faith in Him and perseverance through my hardships would carry me through to happiness, eventually.
