My Story.

It started on a summer evening 3 years ago. A dear friend and I spent the night having heart to heart conversations over iced mochas. I don’t remember what exactly we talked about but it was during that conversation I felt the nagging tug on my heart.  “You were made for more” I thought I was happy where I was-I had a good job, had fun with friends and generally loved my life.  Then it hit-maybe I was to content.  In Ephesians Paul writes “God is able to do immeasurably MORE than we could ask or imagine.”  That night, before my head hit the pillow, I naively started praying that verse-never imagining the journey God would take me on. 

The next months were a hard journey of loosing a job I loved, tears, saying goodbye to friends who were more like sisters, and moving back to my hometown.  

I thought that God would answer my prayers right away.  That as soon as I moved back home the perfect job and life would be there waiting.  God's timing isn't our own--and I'm so thankful for that.   God took his time teaching me, giving me grace and loving on me during the next few years.  He filled my soul with His grace and love and taught that I'm uniquely and wonderfully made to glorify and serve Him.  In the waiting period I realized that what I did didn't matter-what mattered is LOVING GOD and SERVING OTHERS.  

I've been abundantly blessed with an out-of-the-box, faith filled and abundant life.  In the past 2 years since moving back home God has blessed me with a church community that is authentic, precious time to spend with family, friends that stick closer than a brother and a job that is the perfect use of my gifts, talents and skills. 

God’s promises are true.  He WILL provide immeasurably more than you can ask or imagine.  Remain deeply rooted in Him and trust that he will use you in BIG, AMAZING ways!
