Pastor Mike Lema

"your my hero, Cuz even tho you have lost alot of friends even your own brother you still keep trying." These were the last words my youth pastor (Mike Lema or PM) said to me before he left (pastoring to another town). This statement brought me to tears as he hug me and said them. I was so overwelmed by the fact that MY hero, the one i looked up to, was now telling me that i was HIS hero. I can't explain the amount of joy i felt in that moment, it was pure happyness. That whole night i was just thinking about that statement and just couldn't help but be naturally confused. I didnt understand how me, a kid who messed up so many times and was such a bad person, could be this amazing man of God's hero. I can't stress enough how much this statement had just overwhelmed me and made me think about my life and were it is heading. About what kind of man of God i really wanted to be. I don't want him to ever be disapointed in me, or take back that statement. So after all of this i made my self a promiss that i would do the best i can to make that statement true. PM saved my life; if i wouldn't have met him and actually started listening to God i would be so much different than i am now. I would either be dead or in alot of trouble with the law. Mike Lema is MY hero...and will alway be my hero :) He saved my life and gave me a new one.
