My purpose in life is bigger than my pay check, it's bigger than my house, my car, the stuff that I have, vacations, popularity, prestige and even fame.
My greatest joy comes from serving the needs of children, teenagers, young adults, families and communities who have needs that are bigger than anyone else knows, kids who are hurting, who lack self-pride, self worth, self-confidence, who need Godly advice & counseling and even hope.
After 23 years, I continue to see, feel and hear the presence of the lord saying, "I gave you a purpose now continue to abide in it."
Below is an email from a kid that I recently took some extra time to work with because I could feel his/her dispare from always losing, not being picked, getting cut and lacking hope in world of sports.

Dear Coach Deon,
Thank you for all of the time you put in to helping me get ready for
tryouts. I made the team and I know I couldn't have done it without you and God.
Thank you for praying for me and I will figure out if I made A or B
team Monday.
