That said, since last June lots has happened. I have moved in with a wonderfully gracious family who has been a tremendous blessing. The reason I have moved in with them is because in August I was offered the opportunity to become Ozone Ministries Springdale Director position. It is a follow-up ministry program to Camp War Eagle that is a Christian Summer Camp. Honestly it's hard to describe or explain the blessing & providence of the Lord that I have witnessed through this opportunity. Sometimes in the moment I can't see what He is doing, but when I look back I am overwhelmed by His hand of goodness over every part of the journey. I don't deserve it but by His love, grace and mercy He allows me to be His ambassador in these kids lives, and that's what I am going to do.
So now as I am about 6 months into this new season, and it's been a crazy experience of challenge, learning, growth, expectations fulfilled, expectations let down, barriers encountered, and heart revealed. I am so thankful for all of it. The Lord continues to reveal my shortcomings and weaknesses, all the while reminding me that no matter what it is, my seemingly obvious strengths or my apparent weaknesses, without Him it's in vain.
As Jesus says in John 15:4-5
Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
In His gifts that are my strengths, He humbles me. In my weaknesses, He is enough.
The funny thing is, regardless of which it is, He has made my heart His home and I want nothing without Him, which is the greatest blessing & gift of all.
In Him I find purpose. In Him I find hope. In Him I find full satisfaction.
My prayer for you is that you will realize the truth that He is worth your entire heart...every room. Once we get that (and everyday I still have to fight the battle), we truly will find what we were created & purposed for...FULL ABUNDANT LIFE BY, THROUGH & FOR HIM.

May I simply just say what a relief to uncover somebody who genuinely knows what
they are discussing on the internet. You actually know how
to bring a problem to light and make it important.
A lot more people have to look at this and understand this side of your
story. I was surprised that you aren't more popular since you definitely have the gift.
