One of My Greatest Experiences with God: It was when my son was born. The second day we were at the hospital, Julianna was taking a nap, and I was chillin’ with Alek. I remember just staring at him for most of the day. That night, as I was getting ready for bed, I closed my eyes and kept seeing his face, as if I had been staring at a lightbulb all day. When I woke up, I thought about what I had experienced the night before, and I heard the Lord say to me, “Johnny, if there were ever a time that I would choose to close My eyes and rest, I still would not be able to escape your face, because I look at you that much.” I was very thankful to know that I am always on God’s mind.

Most People Don’t Know This About Me: I don’t let people know that I actually know what I’m doing.
