I have not posted anything is what feels like forever. Life is moving at such a fast pace and so
many exciting things are happening. God
is truly moving in my life and I have never been more aware of His presence. He is moving and He is here!!!
This Sunday is the official launch of the church plant that
I became a part of six months ago. I
have been given the amazing privilege alongside my best friend and the love of
my life not to mention my children to be a part of something that will grow God’s
kingdom. I also have a family. I finally have a church family and it is something
that I have not known in a very long time.
My children have a family. They
are witnessing firsthand what it truly means to be part of a church family. Together
we are watching God create something amazing out of a group of ordinary people
each with their own story to tell. My kids
have witnessed God move in the life of their mom and have witnessed firsthand
God using their mom to share His love with those who do not know Him. God is blessing me with the unbelievable opportunity
of living out my faith with my children.

I spent years as a stay at home mom. I always knew there was more for me but I was
part of a group that told me that if I worked outside of the home, I was
neglecting my mission field (my children).
I became depressed and knew something in my life was missing. I have now discovered that I was missing the
opportunity to share God with other people.
I was missing the opportunity to share my faith. Over the past year, I
have had the opportunity to work and I have loved every moment. I love my job. I love the people I work with but most of all I LOVE the opportunity
I have daily to share my faith with those I encounter every day. To me, there is no greater example for my children
than to see their mom live out her faith in front of them. It is incredible. God has blessed my work and opened many doors
for me. It is such an exciting time in
my life. I just cannot explain the joy.
All this time He has been preparing me for this very moment
in my life. He knew the hard road I
would travel and the pain I would endure but He has used every second of it all
to prepare me and to grow my faith in Him so that I could be my best for Him. After years of heartache and
abuse, God has taken the ashes of my life and turned them into something
beautiful and I cannot get over it. I know this mountaintop will not last forever
and eventually there will be trials again, but how thankful am I that God’s
hand is upon my life right now?!?!?! He has
chosen ME and He is using me in a way that brings Him glory!!! I am so undeserving but so extraordinarily thankful!
