Author Testimony:
My mother named me Montré, French for "to show"...Montré Bible.
She said that she wanted me "to show people the Word of
God". I have a very vivid memory. If I can testify about
anything in my short few years it should be how God hears us
when we pray and how He's ever present and also how it seems
the devil has attempted to get me out of here. Ever since I
can remember I've had an awareness of Him and the spiritual
world. I remember seriously praying at the age of four asking
the angels to protect me from the monsters. it's funny because
I can't remember who taught me to do that. That's why I take
children so seriously if they tell me something or if they
think they see something. Something happens to us as adults
that makes us blind I think.
Before I was aware of his love I knew God as a relative that
is always spoken of but never seen. Like, Aunt Maggie who ya
mama talks about but you haven't seen her. You take your mama's
word that she exists and that she loves you. Well God was no
different to me. It hadn't dawned on me of his Deity My mother
tells me how I almost died as a baby, because i ate my grandmothers
medication thinking it was candy. That was a scary time for
my parents. I also severely burned my hands as a child but
...to this day i can't tell which hand it is. It's funny too
how, I use my hands for everything from writing to art. My
father was very abusive when I was younger but somehow we managed
to get out that situation. As I began to lose faith in Easter
bunny, Santa Clause, and even my own father --who was unheard
of after a divorce when I seven. I didn't know too much to
believe in. I went through depression as a teen, wanting to
kill my dad, myself, or just plain ol' give up. We were poor
back then so I rarely asked my mom for things knowing she couldn't
buy it.
We moved back to Michigan with grandfather, and I hated it
because all I knew was loss. I remember praying for a bike
because I heard a sermon about faith. I told God the exact
style, color, and everything. I didn't tell anybody but when
we moved back to Texas this lady bought me a bike because she
knew my mom couldn't get me anything...and it was the same
exact bike I pictured in my head. That's when I knew God could
hear me and he was paying attention. My life with God developed
and healed me of many of my hurts.
I could tell you a thousand stories of how God literally became
the father I never had, how he stepped in and began teaching
me, and guiding me into manhood. Religion has never been a
stronghold for me because I didn't learn about him like that.
Church was just a means of expressing that love for him. It's
crazy how every time I prayed something happened. In my adult
life I fell in love with the Lord and asked for something different
from life that what everyone else has, I wanted to know more,
I needed to experience him, I asked him to reveal his mysteries
to me and grant me favor that's where I am at today.
