Faith Over Fear

Imagine having everything and losing it all. What would you do? How would you react? Who would you turn to? This is a story of survival through the COVID-19 Pandemic and beyond. I was living alone on the island of Oahu, with very little contact from family and friends during the most gut-wrenching, psychological, and spiritual battle of my lifetime. I worked for the US Government and was facing termination over my non-compliance with what I considered a tyrannical and unconstitutional order of an untested vaccine by the President of the United States. My former life as a soldier and overseas contractor was long behind me, while a life of uncertainty lay ahead. My cry for help to a United States Senator went unanswered, as I was denied three times. I was torn and tested like nothing I had experienced in my half-century of living. The only thing that would pull me through was my faith, as I would need to be strong to survive what was ahead. This story is about what I did to survive in these uncertain times. I pray this story will bring new beginnings to the reader, as the experience made me a better man.
