Reflexiones en Mi Primer Aniversario de Bodas

En Diciembre del 2004 mi vida cambiaría para siempre con el diagnóstico de cáncer de la madre de mis hijos. En Diciembre del 2005 sería el comienzo de mi propia muerte y del reflejo real de la condición putrefacta de mi corazón cuando la vi morir. No tan solo que he conocido de forma íntima la pérdida de una esposa, también conozco el dolor devastador del divorcio.

 

¡Para mi, era mi final! El telón de una vida con potencial de grandes cosas caía y anunciaba mi despedida en deshonrosa del escenario que conocemos como…la vida. Sí, mi vida, una vida que ha sido manchada con tragedia, una vida de muchas faltas, muchos errores y enormes montes de pecado. Hoy estoy en pie, no por quien soy, mas porque Dios me ha perdonado y no tan solo perdonado, mas también restaurado.

Hoy celebro un año de casado con mi querida esposa Rayette y mientras medito en este día, mi mente se llena de estos pensamientos: Rayette ha sido el regalo que no me merezco, la expresión de la misericordia de Dios. Soy un hombre bendecido, soy un hombre feliz, lleno de esperanza y de muchas fuerzas. Rayette es un nuevo comenzar y un regreso maravilloso a los caminos que Dios me ordenó caminar. Gracias Dios por Rayette y gracias Rayette por aceptarme aún en mi peor momento.

An independent thinker with a profound call to see the orthodoxy of the church and passion for Christ manifesting together. Angel was born in Brooklyn, New York in April of 1968, he was raised on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico where he earned his B.S. degree in Sociology with a minor in Education from the Inter American University in San Germán in 1991. That same year he moved to Jacksonville, Florida. After working construction jobs for a year and learning the English language, his first job working with foster-care children in the capacity of youth care worker was with Jacksonville Youth Sanctuary in September of 1992. With JYS he was promoted several times as group home supervisor, legal caseworker, and program director. While in Jacksonville, Angel studied a couple of martial arts styles. After earning his black belt, he became the founder of Good Fight Ministries as he used martial arts as an instrument to preach the gospel. In 2004 Angel was selected Martial Arts Instructor of the Year for the State of Florida and in 2005 Angel was inducted in the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame where he also received the Christian Spirit Award. In July of 2005 Angel accepted his call to pastor a bilingual church in Winton, NC where he served for a couple of years. Five months later he lost his first wife to cancer in December of that same year. This initiated a deep valley of suffering in his life, a mountain of costly mistakes and the embracing of lifestyles of sin that are well documented through this blog. In August of 2012 Angel moved to Fairbanks Alaska with his wife Rayette Casiano and six children who are now adults. In Alaska, Angel continued his social work-related career and his ministry of preaching, teaching and writing. Angel is the author of two books, Hope for the divorcee: Forgiving and Moving Forward and 7 Banderas de Esperanza: La Bendición de Yokdzonot. In January 8th of 2020 Angel and his wife moved to Arizona.
