In San Antonio, I joined the Resurrection Baptist Church under the leadership of Ray D. Brown, Sr. where I was a member of both the choir and the ensemble. After 3 years I moved to Atlanta, GA and united with The Destiny Metropolitan Church under the leadership of Dr. Bryan E. Crute. Little did I know that my personal destiny would later lead me back once again to San Antonio, TX.

 In 2005 I united with the Joshua House of Worship under the leadership of Pastor Melford S. Keyes. During an intense focus within a “Forty Days of Purpose” campaign I submitted to my destiny and call into the Ministry. I know in my heart that I first received this call at the age of six but it wasn’t realized until thirty eight years later.  I preached my initial sermon in May of 2006. Since stepping out in faith, God has shown me favor time and time again; much more than I could ever deserve. My desire is to worship and serve Him to the best of my ability.  In February of 2008 when I was officially ordained into the gospel ministry at the Joshua House of Worship. Serving God in ministry allows me to give back; It has always been my personal desire to help save someone else. I have survived abuse of every kind from physical, mental, emotional and verbal. I can’t count the times I’ve been beaten; loosing self-esteem, teeth, hope, and almost sanity. I thank God for the day when n I decided “NO MORE.” I finally realized God had equipped me with everything I needed to get out. And I want to help equip many others in similar situations to do the same. I want to show other women with similar stories that there is life after abuse, violence and every lie that the enemy would have them to believe about themselves.

 Today I am busily committed to serving God and telling my story. I currently serve as the Minister of Pastoral Support, Director for the Joshua Generation Youth Choir, a member of the Praise and Worship Team, J-VOW Choir, and the Choral Ensemble.  I am a theology student at The Baptist University of The Americas. I am the mother of three daughters, and one son. I’ve had both a daughter and a son who preceded me in death. I am also blessed with three grandchildren.

The Purpose of “If Carol Can

 

TO EMPOWER, EQUIP, AND MOTIVATE all women who have ever been the victim of  violence, low self-esteem and abuse whether at the hands of someone else or self inflicted. My goal is to challenge you to compare what the world has to say about you and what God says. Allow me to help you weed through what you have been told by others and even what you have thought about yourself.  Give me the opportunity to shed light through the Word of God and my personal testimony.

My goal is to expose the lie and reveal the truth. It’s time to break the silence on why so many of us as women stay in abusive relationships. I want you to get INFORMED so that you can be TRANSFORMED. I am living proof that there can be and there is life after abuse. You are not what happened to you. I want to challenge you and speak life to you for all the times fear has held you down.  Rise up and step out in faith today. Right here – right now, let’s stand

together on the only solid foundation ….IF CAROL CAN, SO CAN YOU!

I am called by name by my Lord, and Chosen to Lead by Example

I am a Nourisher by Nature, I Love Passionately, and I Fight Hard

I am a Woman of God, Shaped for Ministry, and Destined for Greatness

My Vision has Endless Possibilities and ALL my Goals I will obtain.

I am a Motivator, Encourager, Visionary, a Minister, Mother, Counselor,

Friend, Encourager, and Teacher, I am the Head and not the tail,

I am persistent; I have Incredible Strength, and an Undying Faith

My Ability is Second to none, and Failure is Not an Option,

I refuse to accept Defeat so I cannot loose

I will Reach the unreachable and accept nothing less than Success.

Whatever I touch will prosper and can’t is not in my vocabulary.

I am True to my Friends, and Loyal to my God.

I look to the Future and learn from my Past.

What I did is not who I am. I have the strength God gave me to do the Impossible.

God is Perfecting that Perfect work that He began in me.

My scars motivate me, my gifts will make room for me, and my talents will be

Multiplied and my Vision will never die. I stand firm in who God called me to be,

I am like that tree planted by still waters; I will not be moved,

I will keep my eyes on the prize, as I press toward the mark

Knowing I am destined to accomplish that, which He called me to do,

I will not be distracted or Disconnected from my vision

I walk, talk, live, move and breath in the authority God has given me!

I am more than a conquer, I am an over comer!

I march to the beat of a different drummer.

I live for an audience of one, My Father in Heaven, and

His Approval, is the ONLY Approval, I’ll ever need!
