I'm like, sure, dude. Yeah, whatever, whatever you need. Roger that. So we go over there and then we're switching and then we spend that whole day, I'm helping him teach. And then the next morning, second day of the course, he said, hey, I want you to run the first scenario. And then I want you to follow me with the students and kind of help guide them a little bit if they get stuck.

I'm like, yeah, cool. Phenomenal course. So we're at the end of the course. And the students, I'm in the back sitting down as a student. And there's 12 students. I'm like the 13th. And these students are given the pros and cons of the course, kind of like closing statements, right? About every student is thanking Kyle, but thanking me for my knowledge. Every one.

I started feeling some self-worth again. I started feeling like maybe I'm worthy. Maybe I shouldn't die. Maybe there's a purpose for me here. Because what really drawn me into Kyle was as he started his course out is we're going to talk about God and if you don't like it, you can get out. I was like, dude, that's how I feel too. But like, it's hard to, I'm in a bad spot right now, right? So...

But the last students, like, yeah, Blake, thank you for everything. Thanks for your knowledge. Kyle's like, hey, man, you didn't know this was a job interview, did you? I'm like, I got my own training company. What are you talking about job interview? I started my own training company. We're competitors. No, not really.

But, you know, I'm like, in my mind, I'm like, man, I got my own training company. I'm not going to come work for you. What are you talking about? And then we started talking at the end of that, and then, I saved my life. I've been with him ever since. And that was the end of May. October 22nd, 2023, I was rebaptized. Because God gave me a second chance.

He put the right people on my path to save my life. And I will spend the rest of my life honoring him. And that's what I'm gonna do because he gave me another opportunity, which I feel like I didn't deserve. He took something that the devil meant for evil and he turned it to good. And he did it to save me. And had I met Kyle any sooner, I don't think we would have clicked the way we did.

I don't think Kyle was, Kyle had just gotten back from his treatment. that He needed to receive me into His life. Timing is everything. And I don't believe, the day that I grabbed a gun and my phone went off, I don't believe in coincidences anymore. I believe in God's timing. I believe He is the power.
