GERALD HASAN D. CHILDRESS, FOUNDER
About ME
I didn't always appear as I do today. I didn't always think & have the perspective that I have today either.
I grew up being taught the ways of a street hustle from my father & mother from the early age of 9yrs old. A street hustling, drug addict & alcoholic father, & crack addicted mother.
Life became very serious for me at a very young age, like so many of you. Moving from school to school, in & out of juvenile detention, living with one stranger after the next, homeless shelters, & then to county jails & prisons.
With over 15 criminal convictions, & 18 plus years of my life spent in some level of judicial incarceration.
I am now here!
Married to a beautiful, God-fearing, intelligent woman, & 10 beautiful children, & 6 grandchildren; Using all that I've been blessed to learn, know & understand in my 48 years, to help others find the exit from a maze & Life of results that's filled with nothing but disappointments, heartaches, set-backs & pain, & into a Life full of everything you've dreamed of, longed for, & desired but didn't believe was ever truly for you.
There is Life After Death
I desired Death when I was just 20. I didn't want nor like anything about my Life, but just imagine had I completely gave-up that year, I wouldn't be here to receive all the Blessings, the experiences, & all the I've been able to receive & give, birth from all of those years of heartache & pain. Can you imagine that?
So don't give up! Your break-through is just one day away! One Day Away!
Gratitude is What Changed My Life
Gratitude, was honestly my changing point.
I was standing, looking at myself in the mirror in the Harris County jail, when tears started running down my cheeks in an uncontrollable way. Because it was at that moment I realized, yet with all that I'd already been through, all that I didn't have, all of the fun experiences I hadn't experienced, that I had still been so ungrateful to God because I was still blessed to still have all of ME! My health, my mind, my body, yes indeed I was immensely Blessed!
It was that moment my Life had started in a different direction. Because at that moment I was not only Blessed, but Blessed & Immensely Grateful for it!
