What a blessing it is that you now have the facilities to write this powerful testimony with God's grace. I will vigilantly keep you in thought and prayer, Michael, as you gain strength and power over any challenges you may face. God grant you peace and knowledge that you can and will overcome, with patience and understanding of where you've been. Anyone may say that you are "a piece of work" and yes, you are, as God is molding and creating a renewed life in you. God bless you and yours, and please, take care of yourself.❤️🙏
What an inspiration you are Michael. God has an amazing plan for you and, by telling your truth, it’s sure to help other people who are struggling and hurting. All things in your life have led you to now and great things are in store. God bless you and your beautiful Mother.
Michael, As long as we have known you, one thing was clear - we knew you were a very, very, special person. Our time together at Culver was just the beginning of a very long friendship with you and your mom and dad. When we were made aware in April of your health circumstances, although it seemed like the situation was dire at that moment, we had all of the faith that you would pull through. Not only because of your inherent strength as a person, but we also knew you had so much more left to give. Thank you for sharing your story. There are people in this world that need someone strong like yourself to give them the voice they don't have. Addition, no matter what kind, robs a person of their true self. You have been given the amazing opportunity to help those in need - and there are many who need love, support, guidance and someone they can look to for help. You were so fortunate to have such an amazing network of family, friends and fans to lift you up. But so many don't. You can now be that person. We love you, are so proud of you, and hope that you will come visit Dennis and I (Los Angeles), Kean (Los Angeles), Connor (London) or Kyle (New York). We would love to give you that hug and high-five in person, that we've been sending from a distance. Continue the fight and always know that there are people out there who love you.
Michael, it takes a lot to admit our failures. We are only human & we do make mistakes. Trust me, I've made a ton of bad mistakes. But the thing is, we do have God on our side. I've all but died myself 5 times but only one was my fault. The devil only works on the ones he knows he doesn't have & he works extremely hard on our weaknesses. If we live through it God has brought us back for a reason. We may not know why but he does & that's all that matters. Just keep him closer than you ever have every minute of every day & rebuke Satan every time you feel him coming. Rebuke him in the name of Jesus Christ & he has to go away. God is your strength! He loves you & will fight for you! Love you Bunn, I've always prayed for you since we talked the night of the Christmas party the night you got with your sweetheart Allison! We all are proud of how far you've come & praying for you & if you need anything let any of us know & we'll be there. Looking forward to seeing you again in Winston-Salem! Joel & Karen Sattenfield
So amazing you get to write the last entry! Through all your hard work you have come so far! Looking forward to what God has in store for you!! It was great seeing you yesterday.
Michael, I am so very proud of you and all that you have accomplished on this road to recovery! You are amazing and have accomplished much with the help of the Lord. Many prayers have been answered as we read your story and see the heartwarming pictures. My heart is overflowing with joy at you being able to walk out of Wake Med and return home. Please know that you, your mom and family are in my prayers as you continue your recovery! God has great plans for you!
