Starting Over with Mike Strange-CMAW080

What You'll Hear: Saved by the blood of Christ at the age of 10 after an invitation from a neighbor First job mowing grass, but on a regular basis was at a small "His and Hers" grocery store down the street After high school, completed the 2 years electronics course at the Danville Community College and got a job right away at Sentry Cash Register Community colleges are a great way to avoid a lot of debt and be close to home Worked for the same company for 32 years and became a part owner in the business after the first 11 years Ambition was to grow and get to the top Don't waste your money, be cautious during times of abundance and prepare for things that might come Treat all of your employees the way you would want to be treated 6 years ago, the economy started to decline and there was competition from many other areas.  Held on 3 years longer than should have.  "I just didn't want to give up" "As I suffered, my family suffered" "The cycle I had set for myself was everything was going to be bigger and better "I had not given God credit for any of my success" "Shamefully, I realized I would take God off a shelf in times of need and despair, but I wouldn't rejoice with Him in the victories of each and every day" Break 1: 19:33 "In that final "I" moment, I asked God a lot of questions... I realized I had to have total surrender" In that season his wife and Mike first visited Union church in Danville "It's amazing how God can work in a person's life and how that things can change your perspective on what's important and what's not" "I was pretty worried, I was 51 years old, unemployed and basically knew how to do one thing" "I praise God in my storms...If I had continued to be successful, I would have continued to give myself the credit, and I might not even be in church" [email protected]
