Hello everybody!

I’m so grateful for your interest in my life and my ministry! 

I’m aiming to update my blog more often. 

Fundraising seems to be ramping back up. Whether it’s my motivation or just people’s willingness to respond, I don’t know! 

I heard someone say about 2021 that it’s not that we get “free” from all the negative things that Covid-19 brought, but that 2021 is more like “fresh hope”. 

I’ve gained fresh hope for life and for ministry this week. Although, it is easy to do things (connect, create, encourage) when you are feeling good, I want to express how difficult the last month has been for me. The one greatest thing about the journey through the swamp of my mind  is that I felt, knew and understood that my core connection with God, what I base my identity in and what I base my hope in, never wavered. In that I was able to go down to the depths and I was always secure. It’s the first time I’ve ever truly understood the perspective of David, Job, Paul and many others that have spoken out of distraught-full situations. 

2021 brings the reality of this trip. The people I will meet, the families, cultures, and atmospheres I may or may not be welcomed into, and the love for others I will get the opportunity to give in so many ways. I am already meeting, reconnecting, and loving others as I prepare to launch in August. More and more I get to practice ministry is life and life is ministry. My eyes are opening to the opportunities I have now to love the people around me where I am and in the unique ways God has intimately created me to. 

God bless you in 2021 - I love you!
