My Growth Story

Experienced. Certified. Supportive.

24 YEARS AGO 

I remember feeling so lost and unfulfilled in my life. It seemed like no matter what I did, I just couldn't shake the feeling of being stuck.  But then, something amazing happened. My pastor's wife hosted an 8-week seminar called Inside/Out, and it changed everything for me. During those eight weeks, our group delved into the intricacies of temperament analysis and explored the relationship shortfalls that had been holding us back. What are the stones that are thwarting our spiritual growth? Looking back on that transformation journey, I am filled with a sense of elation and joy.  I remember feeling a deep thirst for knowledge and understanding of the Holy Bible. I wanted to gain wisdom in decision-making and be guided by the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit. So, I started taking every class my local church offered, eager to learn as much as possible. Through my studies, I gained a deeper understanding of scripture and learned how to apply the teachings in my daily life. I learned to trust God's plan for my life, and that has made all the difference.

 

EVERY DAY I WAKE UP SEEKING TO CULTIVATE

A DEEPER RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD    ​​​ 

Today, I start each day and end each day with prayer and study, and I am constantly seeking new ways to deepen my relationship with Jesus and to serve others. By sharing my experiences and knowledge, I can help others to find their own path toward spiritual growth and personal fulfillment.  My transformation journey continues to shape my life in profound ways. Through my studies, I have come to understand more fully the sacrifices that Jesus made for all of us, and I strive to model His behavior and principles in my own life. To me, prioritizing servitude and humility means acknowledging that God has given me the spiritual gifts I need to serve others and support the body of Christ. I understand that life can be tough, but I've discovered that I can find the strength and perseverance I need to keep going by getting closer to God during these trying times. I no longer feel defeated by life's obstacles because I trust that God is in control!  I know for those that love God all things work together for the good, Romans 8:28 ESV.
