Darren, I am so thankful you've chosen to share your amazing story with us. I enjoyed this chapter very much. I found it so interesting to read about your early experiences as a cook, and that perhaps explains why you're so good at cooking now. You haven't yet told us (unless I missed it) how you came to be so good on the guitar, but I know you are. I hope that will come up soon. I like the scriptures you quote to prove your points and support your faith. These are excellent scriptures. Do you read your Bible daily?
Not sure why there are so many different fonts, but maybe it has to do with the computer or chrome book or something that you type on. It would be nice to have a consistency, just for appearance sake.
Here are a few editing issues... very small, that you may want to fix:
***I was (would also be? or was exposed?) also be exposed to what was to be some of the most valuable advice that I ever considered.
***than the other, (use period instead of comma here) I fugured (figured) they were pulling my leg, pun intended.
***blessed me abundantly, lead, (led) protected, and guided me
Your stories are wonderfully inspiring. Keep up the great work. Your family must be VERY proud of you! I certainly feel blessed to know you. Hugs, MM

The different fonts is from copy and paste scripture. I was hoping it would help emphasize. Thanks for your review, I have so much to say that I am going have to call you. Darren

I was on my way to work, feeling down. I opened the browser on my phone, and found a message from an angel; the answer to an unconscious prayer that cheered as and lit my path . . .

I do hope ;;you expand on some of the happenings and add the personal touch for those of us who really want the interaction with someone who has been there.

I attended some Full Gospel Businessmen's Meetings back in the eighties. They were so inspiring and wisdom poured forth from these meetings. Your journey is an interesting one, you found God's way.

Comment from crybry67
I know what you mean on the miracles, big and small. And I know what it's like to feel His peace when you're finally face to face. Your words bring that to the reader, and I know your testimony will lead hearts to Jesus.
I noticed a few typos,
separating to beat the egg whites,
I've also been exposed
bear false witness
No t in sandwiches
Again, this is an excellent read. To God be the glory!
Blessings... Christy

Comment from lyenochka
Wonderful testimony, Darren! Thanks for sharing about your life and how you came to faith. In terms of writing, I think I would focus more on the what led to your decision. It starts as an autobiography and a list of first jobs which was great but I feel like need to know more of the spiritual journey and what was said in the meeting to take that big step. But it could be that you simply responded to the Spirit. Praise God.
Minor points:
seperating = separating
bare false witness = bear false witness

Comment from Bucketlist
What a great autobiographical section up to " the loss of innocence ". I especially liked Romans 8.28 as one your quotes. You have chosen a unselfish path in life, and I applaud you for that..I feel your brotherly love in your reviews.

Thank-you so much for reading. I feel guilty that I have not had the time to do any more reviewing myself. I cried then, and I am crying now, as I am suffering from severe depression. But they are also tears of joy for your kindness.

Don't worry. I know you would read them if you could.

thank you for sharing your testimony with us. It is always an honor to hear how one came to accept Christ in their lives. I remember my 'call' vividly. You did a great job in setting the scene and depicting your life.
