The House That Built Me...

Visited my childhood home and church yesterday. These two places are not just landmarks of my youth, they shaped & molded the woman I am today.

It was here that I learned to lead with love. To embrace diversity and not fear people’s brokenness or messy lives. Here, I understood deep need, sacrifice and suffering - and the beauty of mercy, selflessness and God’s grace. In these places, I am reminded that the Lord heals the broken-hearted and brings freedom to the redeemed. He is the author of all things and is crafting a beautiful story for each one of us - if we loosen our grip and hand Him the pen. 

It’s good to go home. It’s good to remember. Lead with love. Embrace diversity. Don’t fear the messy. Accept grace. Relinquish control. Trust the creator. Share your story.
