"I laugh about my story now and not only how funny God is but how patient. There were many times I firmly believed I knew what was in my best interest. Many times where I thought I had everything planned out. Thinking about it now I smile as I sit at my desk working to lead young people to know the Lord in their parishes and youth groups. My same diocese I doubted and came to know the Lord many years ago as a teenager. I learned that my life truly belongs to Him and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Fifteen year old Chenele would have not believed me but God has an amazing sense of humor."
