As I sit here with the fire going in the fireplace, and Christmas movies on the TV, I reflect on all that God has been doing. Over the last few months the Lord has been working in miraculous ways. Just a few short months ago I was faced with the possibility of a debilitating illness. All results pointed to the obvious, I had some kind of auto immune disease, but my eye specialist was almost certain it was MS. We prayed and believed, and my symptoms almost entirely cleared up, and all results began to show minimal nerve issues. God was glorified and my heart rejoiced in this time of healing.
Just a few weeks later I felt the Lord encouraging me to take on a new ministry to partner with. I was offered a place to serve in Bastrop, at a ministry called Hope House. This ministry is a recovery and transition home for women. This program has been open for almost two years, and the Lord is only beginning to show us just how incredible it is going to be. My normal shift will be three 24 hour days, which would allow me ample time with the ladies to share God's love and blessings with them. My first shift before Christmas was 12 days, and during that time I couldn't imagine my life any other way. I was riding in the car and one of the ladies looked at me and told me that I was being God's hands and feet. I had never thought of it that way. I do believe I am right where God would have for me to be. This New Years eve I will be serving at the Ronald McDonald House in Houston by serving a sit down meal to the house guests along with friends of mine. I know it will be a blessing and a joy to serve those going through such a difficult time. Soon I hope to continue ministering in other various ways, but right now my focus will be with Hope House. Many have asked how they can pray for Hope House and for my ministry with them. There are various things to pray for, but the most important one is for the ladies to feel the love of God and make positive changes in their lives. Second you can pray for God's provision for the Home and for the future ladies who will come to stay. Lastly, I ask you to pray how God would allow you to help. Your prayers are very important and vital to this work. If God lays it on your heart, would you consider donating to my ministry to allow me to continue to serve. You can click the donate now button on the menu above. I am trusting God to provide above and beyond what I could ask or think. I know He has called me to this, and He will provide in His time. My life is beyond incredible as God shows me His faithful love and support. I look forward to all that God is going to do in and through this ministry. I couldn't do what I do without all of you, thank you for standing with me in this amazing journey.
