Your messages has inspired me that no matter what your past is, continue to grow and move forward. My past has truly made me the strong woman I am today. I do thank God for all my trials and test because it lets me know that I can endure whatever that comes my way. From losing my mother, losing homes, vehicles, the support from loved ones, losing jobs and having to go back to work at fast foods even though I didn’t want to, but I had to swallow my pride and do what I had to do for me and my family. This is coming from a woman with 2 degrees, however, I know that degrees don’t make me at all but all the hard work I had to endure to get them. Blood, sweat, tears, praying and reading.. my many weary days and nights wondering when is my next breakthrough. I had to stay encouraged and pressed.
Your messages helped bring back light and motivation to stay in the race, stand and fight regardless and that it’s not over until God says it’s over. So, today. I have to say and I say in humbleness, never boastful but only in God that I will boast.. everything that was lost, stolen, and broken. God is restoring. Got a job in my field that doubled my salary, and it’s weekly pay. love has been restored, hearts have been mended. I have joy, peace and a sound mind most importantly… yes, I still have ways to go because everything is a process. This is part of my testimony and my story is still being written. I’m growing stronger every day and I am on my grind, working towards getting everything back what the enemy took from me. I truly thank you for your kind words and I truly thank God first and foremost for His grace, mercy, and blessings. God bless you and your family more exceedingly and abundantly above all that you could ever ask for! If I made any errors, please excuse them.
Arkevious,
Your messages inspire me daily… but the one I love the most is “when you feel like giving up, think about why you started” often times in this thing called life it’s easy to give up… but when I see you continuing to strive to do better and make a difference in the lives of the youth, it just lets me know that no matter whose support you or how long it takes to get there KEEP GOING. 
Man, you help me because I’m walking also in God’s calling and you are just a confirmation that I’m not walking alone and that little voice that says you have no other choice but to help and lead. Thank you, my brother, and let’s do this.
Your Past is not your Future. Thank you, Mr. Arkevious Armstrong, for keeping it real. What an inspirational and empowering workshop.
