Strings of Sorrow Followed by Rhythms of Grace
Over the years, I have noticed that in the hardest seasons I’ve faced, there has been a deep understanding of the power that having a heart of worship plays in finding the strength to keep going.

This step can change the course of one’s life from victim to victor, from oppressed to overcomer.

My mom was a single mom of five kids, and money was always tight. My father did not contribute to the financial side of things because his […]
“But God”
Celebrating 10 years of retreats has brought me on a journey of all that the Lord has done in that time and even before it all started. I remember many years ago laying in a hospital bed with a broken neck and back and truly feeling life as I knew it was over. It was […]
A Look Back at Our 2023 October Retreats
