Thanks, it's been a tough journey. That land that you see me with that bull. My sister and I still own that land. It is not a farm. In Texas, if you own 5 or more acres you do not pay taxes on your land if you grow hay or raise chickens, put a horse or cattle on it even if that land is located in the city of Fort Worth!
My last house in Texas before I left to South America in November of 2016 just before Trump won the election was tent. I kicked the cattle out of the barn to put up a tent. It was unusually hot that year with summer conditions extending into November. I used pizza boxes and Kroger plastic bags to take a crap in every morning and would trade stocks using the free wifi at Starbucks, Chic - Fil - A or church where I would volunteer to change lightbulbs and things like that. I would shave at Starbucks in the restroom or the restroom at the park! I would ride my bicycle that was given to me by an elder at my church and get a bath once a week at church just before service! I returned to South America where I had been for a few years and spending exactly 1 year in Medellin, Colombia in 2012 living the craziest of lives. Sex with more women in 1 year than my whole life combined and partied like crazy I was angry with God for everything He had put me thru before I moved to Medellin!
But because as Proverbs 3:12 tells us, "God disciplines those that He loves as a father who delights in his son". God brought me back to Texas to live in those conditions! I asked God one day, it was a Thursday, "why are you doing this to my life?" and He said, "because this is how I'm going to make you an evangelist" and I told God, "if this is true, I am going to fast for 2 days without food and I want you to tell my pastor next Wednesday at the all day prayer meeting at church what you just told me. The next Wednesday came and I asked my pastor at the all day prayer meeting, "would you pray and ask God to give you a prophetic word for me?" My pastor closed his eyes for a minute and then looked at me and said, "I just get one word, evangelism!"
