Touched by Kindness, Led by Grace.


I’ll be honest, there are many days I feel incredibly insecure about my writing. I question my ability, my voice, and sometimes even the calling itself. Discouragement creeps in often, whispering doubts that make me wonder if I should even continue. But deep down, I have to hold onto this truth: God led me to write. And if what I share carries His words, then I must believe there’s a purpose in it all.

If that purpose brings Glory to Him and Blesses even one reader, then every sacrifice, every late night, every moment of frustration and self-doubt becomes worth it.


I’ve been M.I.A. lately, and I wanted to explain why. I just started a new job, and I’m in week two of learning an entirely new system, new software, new routines, new expectations. It’s been overwhelming, to say the least. By the time I get home, I’m physically and mentally drained. And as much as I want to check in on you; my amazing subscribers, friends, and extended family, I often find myself falling behind.

But please know this: not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers, and I carry your kindness and support with me always. You are deeply loved and faithfully prayed for.


I also want to take a moment to express sincere gratitude to Jolene, known to many as Chico’s Mom. She not only purchased a copy of The Latter Times of Being Crazy for Christ, but also took the time to read it and leave a heartfelt, uplifting review (Above). Her words reminded me of why I chose to share my story in the first place.


Everyone’s walk with Christ looks a little different, but no matter the path, the destination is the same: without Jesus, we are lost.

Her understanding of the message, her kindness, and her encouragement touched me in ways I can’t fully express. I’m humbled that God allowed this book to reach her heart, and I give Him all the glory.

If you’d like to read her full review and explore her blog, I highly recommend visiting her page. Her heart for faith, love, and community shines through everything she writes.


Thank you all again for your support, your prayers, and your grace. I may fall behind sometimes, but I’m still here, still writing, still believing, still praying.

Thank you again, Chico’s Mom. Your support means more than you know.

Romans 3:23“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
Matthew 19:26“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

You Are Loved.

    Chico’s Mom signaled you why it’s important to KEEP writing. That’s your gift, and it’s meant to be shared with the world. And you not only do it well but you also honor the One that gifted you. I admire you for that. I wish you could make a living out of your writing instead of feeling exhausted and not having enough time or energy for your passion. “But with God all things are possible.” And I believe things will turn for you! Sending you extra light and blessings, my friend; it’s always a delight to read from you 🙏✨

    Thank you for your transparency and vulnerability—it takes courage to share the struggles behind the scenes. Your words resonate so deeply, especially the reminder that if even one person is blessed by what you write, it’s all worth it. That kind of heart is what makes your writing so impactful.

    The images you shared are beautiful and full of meaning—they really add depth to your message and reflect the sincerity of your journey. You’re clearly walking this path with intention and faith, and it shows.

    So proud of you for stepping into a new season with your job, even when it’s overwhelming. Don’t lose heart—God is using you in more ways than you can see. Keep writing, keep believing, and thank you for continuing to pour into others, even in the midst of your own challenges.

    Hi Willie. Lovely to hear from you again. You have been in my thoughts. I understand and often walk that oath of doubt about writing, whether to continue, have also been MIA myself (wrote a poem about it) but the hesitancy and purpose creeps in and slams the brakes on our following our purpose. I know how hard it is but like you, I too feel, if it touches just one heart and makes a difference in one person’s life, as in mine, then it’s worth it and must be done for that one person will reach so many others, like links in a chain.

    Jolene’s wonderful review says it all too.

    Congrats on your new job, don’t be so hard on yourself, one step at a time, know we are all still here and most of us with important messages, hesitate the most because it’s real. Thinking of you. Love. Prayers and blessings to you

        Bless you for such kind words. Thank you Willie. We all have a gift, a purpose, maybe sometimes we fight with it, question it but if it never leaves us, drives us, comforts us, it’s meant to shared. It’s there for a reason and you’ve found your purpose, accepted it and use it well as God intended. He chose you for a reason. If we don’t follow our inner guidance, we are allowing our self will, our egos to rule us, which is like turning our backs on God and the gifts he gave us and the reason He chose us as His messengers. You will be blessed.

        You are loved too my friend. Blessings to you always. 🙏 ❤️

    Congrats on the job, Willie! I have the same issue when it comes to writing! I sometimes think the worst of the attacks of doubt, fear, etc is because it is going to make an impact, not so people will see me but see Christ. There have been more writing opportunities that I let pass me by out of fear more than I want to admit or think about. Your heart for the Lord Willie is authentic and sincere. You share your life with others rather than telling folks how they should be living for Jesus. I am so thankful for the encouragement that you have received. The Lord knows what His people need when they need it. May you continue to keep in step with the Spirit so that you may continue to encourage others and be encouraged yourself. You are loved!

      Mandy, your words truly touched my heart, nearly brought me to tears. Thank you for such a heartfelt message. I wholeheartedly agree: the attacks of fear and doubt often come strongest when what we’re doing carries eternal weight, not for our glory, but so others may see Christ in us.

      What I do is for the glory of God alone, not for my own praise. I am simply a humble servant, honored to lift up the name of Jesus through my words. He deserves it all.

      Your encouragement means more than you know. May we both continue to walk boldly in step with the Spirit.

    Willie, I question my faith all the time. I look back with shame and gratefulness on my life journey knowing that even when we were playing in hell, Jesus stood tall behind us, patiently waiting for us to quit searching the dark and look into his light. And when I accepted him, he showed me that telling some of those dark stories not only helped me by releasing them but might help others , so it becomes a win, win.

    MIA? Moving in Advancement, where’s the harm in that brother?

      Sharing those stories isn’t weakness; it’s warfare. You’re helping others while letting the enemy know he doesn’t hold the pen anymore.

      And MIA? Man, I’m just taking laps with the Lord, still advancing, even if it’s in the slow lane. Hoping to get back to the rhythm of things very soon.

    You are going through a period of adaptation to your new job and it is natural that there will be times when you are unable to see the blog or write on it. However, your ability to write and touch hearts is true and I encourage you to continue. You have no idea what happened. I spent weeks with your phrase in my mind “How much time have you set aside for God?”… I don’t know if you used those exact words, but that is the meaning. This inspired me to prioritize my moments with God and it has been incredible. Thank you for being the means through which God’s voice spoke deeply to my conscience. Everything will get better, it is just a phase of adaptation! Hugs Catarina

        Ich habe momentan Urlaub, bin zu Hause, genieße den Garten und versuche mich zu regenerieren.

        Bei meinem Job, der ein guter Job ist, hat sich herausgestellt, das bei den Arbeitskollegen viel hintenrum (Falschheit) läuft und der Chef nicht wirklich fähig ist, das zu durchschauen, es ist der Hund drin, wie man bei uns so schön sagt.

Meine Zukunft Gott übergeben, er wird es richten, mir Gelegenheiten zukommen lassen etc…..also bei diesen Gedanken, wird mir sehr warm ums Herz und ein Freiheitsgefühl sondergleichen kommt auf.

        Wir in Österreich haben ein starkes finanzielles soziales Netz durch den Staat, wenn Gott nicht schnell genug ist, bin ich durch den Staat finanziell abgesichert.

        Das waren eigentlich Gedanken an mich aber vielleicht sind sie hier bei dir gut aufgehoben.

        Vielen Dank für deine Freundlichkeit und deinen Redeplatz hier am Blog.

        Alles Liebe Tula

        Vielen Dank lieber Willie für deine fühlenden Gedanken. Ja ich habe zur Zeit ein großartiges Gottvertrauen, momentan sehe ich die freie Zeit als Geschenk an und genieße sie sehr.
        Der Somme ist bei uns einfach nur wunderbar, ich habe viel Gelegenheit in unseren wunderbaren Seen zu baden und unseren Gemüsegarten zu hegen und pflegen.
        Ja alle Zeit hat vor und Nachteile und ich weiß, das auf uns alle die perfekte Zukunft wartet. Jedenfalls habe ich momentan sehr viel Vertrauen. 😊🌸💗☕
        Ich wünsche Dir und deiner Familie auch alles alles Gute und ein baldiges Paradies für uns alle. 🌞

    Thrilled , excited and happy for you about your new job opportunity, Brother Willie! Trust the process for God has already gone before you to prepare the blessing.

    Regarding your writing, the doubts are natural, but that is not God’s voice! We must seek the peace and acceptance found only when we keep our eyes on Him and not the world. You can always take back what the enemy tries to steal! God bless the special gifts He bestowed upon you and your continued journey!💛🙏🙏🙏

      Dear Sister Bev, Your words truly touched me. Thank you for always being such a light in my life. Your encouragement, your faith, and your unwavering support remind me that I’m not walking this road alone. You help me see more clearly that God is always ahead of me, preparing the way, even when I feel uncertain.

      You’re right, those doubts aren’t from Him. Thank you for helping me hear the difference. I pray God continues to Bless you richly for the love and kindness you pour into others. I’m so grateful for you.

      God Bless You, today and always…

    I see that you are developing your creativeness and therefore you put these questions to yourself. You are going to polish your art, you see something you do not yet possibly understand. Though your art is excellent we people want to develop and make it even better. I do not see that you doubt, I see that you are moving on. Very interesting to see what God has planned to give you because He gives also to us through you. Something good and interesting is coming to you👍I thank God for this😊

    It is yet another plan of God to sharpen your story and build resilience.

    Your message here is never taken for granted and you wouldn’t be human if doubt didn’t creep in once or twice.

    But rest assured, the grace he has provided is sufficient to perfect all that concerns you.
    Take your time and settle in, come back when you feel ready for us.

    Hello dear friend, your writing is perfect and the way you interact with people carries the love of Christ. Do not doubt what God inspires you to do, keep writing because the Bible says: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord and not for men… Colossians 3:23. I like to think about this and I continue to follow the Lord’s orders. May God bless you. keep writing

    Oh Willie! Your writing touches so many, that is obvious here by all the comments. It is obvious too, that GOD is speaking through you. Yes, HE called you to write and sometimes when we are spent, we have to rely on HIM even more to find the words. HE is so very faithful this way…….don’t despair. I can attest that HE has always answered me when I am looking at a blank page. Or Tuesday comes and I wake up and think oh no, I got nothing to post! Sure enough sitting in my devotional time HE shows up. I so trust in this process and I pray you will too. And know……..today……..YOU ARE LOVED!

I’m Willie

Hello and Welcome to my Website.
My name is William Torres, but my family and friends call me Willie. It is a pleasure to be here with you today, and I am excited to share my faith journey with you.

My journey has been amazing and fulfilling as a new Christian. I have seen God work in my life in ways I never could have imagined. I have grown closer to my faith and have seen Him work in my life and the lives of those around me. I am truly blessed to call myself a Christian, and I am excited to continue to grow in my faith.

I believe that I have come a long way in life. Over the years, I have worked hard to become a better man, husband to Frances Torres, and father to our children. I have strived to be a good friend and companion to those I have been fortunate to build relationships with. I have learned to appreciate the small moments of joy and fulfillment that come with every human connection.

I began writing stories that I believe were inspired by the Holy Spirit. These stories are my testimonies about the different trials I have gone through, and how the Lord has helped me to overcome them. Through this process, I’ve discovered that I can forgive those I once vowed to never forgive, and in turn, my relationships with them have been restored. They are now a huge blessing and a special part of my life.

I hope that through my writing I can be a source of encouragement to other people in their faith and relationship with the Lord. I pray that those who read my words will be blessed by the Lord and find strength and comfort in His Word.

To be honest, I have had to come to terms with the fact that I am not perfect, but it is in this place of acceptance that I am able to truly worship a God who is. His infinite love brings me joy, strength, and peace, and I am thankful for the privilege of being able to serve Him.

I have also started a Social Media Ministry on Facebook, which I invite you to visit here. Being Crazy For Christ is a platform where I share my journey of faith, and I am also on YouTube – Willie Torres Jr. and I am excited to see all that God will do through it.

This is my hope, and I’m so thankful for it. I’m thankful for the love of Jesus, and I’m thankful for the chance to grow in Him together with you.

You Are Loved

Willie Torres Jr.
