==Christian Testimony==
Carey, grew up listening to The Sounds of His Dad singing: Johnny Cash / I Walk the Line, Hank Williams / I Saw The Light,Elvis, Kitty Wells / Honky Tonk Angels and Hymns after Church on Sundays.
At the age of 16, Carey gigged week-ends in Hotels, House Parties and Wedding Halls: covering 50's, Punk,
British, Country and Rock 'n' Blues Artists.
A Highschool Dropout, He moved to Toronto to pursue a music carreer fully equipt with an Electric Guitar and an old stereo for a amplifier.
While in Toronto He frequented bars with Live bands and Jammed with Music people who had placed Newspapaer adds.
After several years , with no substantial leads and minimum wagwe wage jobs , He moved back home, discouraged.
The Second, was a Break Out of Denial.
He had an Alcohol Addiction and had dabbled and drifted away from His roots, into secularism, other philosophys and religions that left His Heart empty and hardenedhard.
He Wrestled with Depression, Anxiety and Failure; then finally listened to His Mother; Who prayed someday He'd meet People Who could Mentor Positive Changes in His Life.
So, He Decided to lighten His load and Sold His Truck and Gear and Called Alcoholics Annonymous.
He Agressivly Attended many Meetings ... { 90 meetings in 90 Days / for approx 6 years }
during which He was able to Get Back on His Feet. He completed his Highschool diploma in an alternative school with 5 english courses and wrote some poetry which He sent out to several universities; after some encouragement from a teacher.
The Third Big Break happened in a Little Country Chapel one Spring Night, May 1990. While singing Hymns to Jesus with a small group of People.
He had sang Hymns before , but these people really seemed to know who they were singing to. with With nothing to lose He continued to hangout and
a half hour or so later, He Found Himself; Surrounded with an Incredibly, Awesome Peace.
This was where He found out that,
He knows That The Lord has given Him Some Amazing New Friends.
He knows that The Lord is first in His life because without his presence; He would not even have this new sence of Hope, Healing and Dignity He's been given.
He knows that talking with people is good, just talking with someone can dismantle the smallest or Largest issues; especailly if they've been where You have been.HE knows that the Lord can take situations a step further through his His Healing Power.
Free to Fly's Raw, Spontaneous Sound is New Extention of Carey's Personality.
Talk to Him even if it seems alien to You, Tell Him everything, say it out loud, He will listen ... then take time to be aware of the ways that He answers.
Find a Home,
Find a Christian Church where You feel the power The Power of Love when You leave where You don't feel rejected at the door, where Or hit with a blast of Oppression. Where You can meet the Lord and You know that something supernatural has happened and that The Lord has talked to You.Be more aware of how this happens ... it may be sublte or powerful but God does try to communicate to us. He wants to cover us with his Love. Where You can pray with others who know Him and You can read the Bible together.The Bible is a Sacred Book that when read , especially in The Lord's Presence ... You will hear God's voice ... Mabe not audibly but In your Heart.
He is waiting for You, today !
Don't wait, do it Now !
