The meaning of life is to know and serve God. This may sound strange coming from me if you knew me in high school since I was a stoner /skater kinda guy. But what I quickly realized after losing my good friend and classmate Darren Dawson after our senior year was that I was lost and going no where. It was then that I really started searching for what it truly meant to be a Christian and not to just call myself one. After reading and studying the bible I began to understand the unbelievable gift Jesus had given me and once I began to truly live that out in my life my path was set. My life has not been easy by any stretch of the imagination: parents divorcing and remarrying, being initially rejected from medical school and working as a handyman to make ends meet, living in a 3rd world country for 2yrs while attending medical school, marrying an African woman that got me disowned from family, living in poverty for 5yrs in NYC, moving to Arkansas and on & on but in all that God has been faithful and blessed me beyond my wildest dreams. When I think back to those days with you it seems like a dream, who was Steve Ashodian, is it possible he did all those crazy things and survived? Thanks to God the answer is YES!! God Bless you and your family.
