Sometimes the dark
of this world
can feel overwhelming.

Sometimes
the sorrow,
the sadness,
the hurt,
the loss,
the devastation,
the destruction,
the turmoil
and the tension
feels too much.

Sometimes
no matter how
hard we look,
all we can see
is the heartache.

This morning
as I sat
by my window
in the moments
just before dawn -
darkness still
overtaking
all I could see,
I shared with God
all the hurt
weighing down
my heart.

As I poured out
and prayed about
one hurt
after another,
one tragedy
after another,
one person
after another,
the weight of
all of it
still felt so
incredibly heavy.

Until
I felt God say,
"Listen, sweet girl.
The birds are still singing."

With everything
they had,
and for all
to hear
they were
chirping their songs
into the pre-dawn
darkness.

"I know this world
feels heavy.

I know this world
is filled with darkness.

I know the hurt
and the heartaches
are too much to bear.

But like the birds,
just keep singing.

Never forget
I am the Light
of the world.

No matter how dark
this world may be,
it will never overtake
the Light.

Sing out
and sing loud
because I have
overcome the world.

Sing out
and sing loud
because the world
needs to hear
the melody of hope,
the song of peace,
the heartlifting truth of praise.

I know it's dark,
but the birds
are still singing.

Sing with them,
sweet girl.

Just keep singing.”❤

~Stacy L. Sanchez

"I have told you all this
so that you may have
peace in me.
Here on earth
you will have many
trials and sorrows.
But take heart,
because I have
overcome the world."
~John 16:33

"The light shines
in the darkness,
and the darkness
can never extinguish it."
~John 1:5

One day, I told God,
“I’m done.”

Done trying to hold everything together.
Done pretending I was strong enough on my own.
Done carrying expectations I could no longer meet, answers I didn’t have, and burdens that were never meant to be mine. “I’m done” wasn’t a statement of defeat—it was a confession of exhaustion. A quiet surrender spoken at the end of my strength.

He replied,
“Good. Now I can begin.”

Because God does His deepest work where self-reliance ends. He waits patiently for the moment we stop striving, stop controlling, stop insisting on our own way. Not because He wants us to fail, but because He knows that true transformation cannot grow in a clenched fist. It begins with open hands.

When I said I was done, I wasn’t walking away—I was finally letting go. And in that release, space was made for grace. God did not shame my weakness or dismiss my weariness. He met it. He stepped into the rubble of my resolve and began rebuilding from a foundation of trust rather than effort.

God’s beginning often looks nothing like ours. It doesn’t arrive with instant clarity or immediate relief. Sometimes it starts quietly—with rest, with healing, with unlearning old patterns and relearning how to depend on Him. Sometimes His first work is not changing the situation, but changing the heart within it.

There is freedom in reaching the end of yourself. Not because the journey is over, but because it no longer rests on your strength alone. God does not ask you to be enough. He asks you to be willing. Willing to trust. Willing to follow. Willing to let Him lead where you can no longer go by yourself.

So if you are at that place—where all you can say is “I’m done”—take heart. You may not be at the end. You may be standing at the very beginning of what God has been waiting to do all along.

The Truth About Moving Forward

I never would have believed this could be my life. Sitting here, getting a pedicure and manicure, and actually allowing myself to experience things I once never thought I deserved.

I never would have believed this could be my life. Sitting here, present, grounded, and actually allowing myself to experience things I once never thought I deserved.

There was a time when my world looked very different. Addiction stripped everything down to survival. When you’re living on the streets, your nervous system is constantly in fight-or-flight. There’s no space for rest or reflection…only staying alive.

I made a lot of mistakes in my life. Real ones. The kind you don’t get to undo. Every choice has consequences, and I live with that. There are things I can’t take back, and people I lost…people I loved deeply…who no longer speak to me. Some relationships were damaged beyond repair, and that grief stays with you.

Guilt is one of the hardest parts of recovery. Not just getting clean, but learning how to live with what you did while you were sick. Addiction doesn’t erase responsibility. It explains behavior, but it doesn’t excuse the harm. Sitting with that truth takes strength most people never see.

Recovery has meant learning how to try new things instead of reaching for drugs. Simple things. Healthy things. Taking up hobbies. Showing up consistently. Letting myself feel boredom, joy, discomfort, and peace…all the emotions I used to run from. Learning how to live a full day without escaping it.

There are days when the shame tries to pull me backward, reminding me of who I used to be. But the truth is, you can’t change the past…no matter how much you wish you could. All you can do is take responsibility, learn from it, and keep moving forward. One honest step at a time.

And through all of this, I’ve come to understand the power of God. His grace carried me when I couldn’t carry myself. Forgiveness…from Him, and slowly learning to forgive myself..has been part of my healing. Not everything can be fixed, but faith reminds me that redemption is real, even when consequences remain.

Today, I’m clean. And sometimes it still overwhelms me…not because life is perfect, but because I’m finally here for it. I’m learning who I am without substances, without numbing, without running. And that’s both terrifying and beautiful.

This is why I do the work I do now. Because I know what it feels like to be written off. I know what it feels like to lose everything. And I also know how powerful it is when someone believes in you while you’re still learning how to believe in yourself.

If you’re struggling, I want you to hear this…your past does not disqualify you from a meaningful future. You are allowed to grow beyond your worst moments. Healing doesn’t erase consequences…but it gives purpose to survival.

And if no one has told you this yet…I’m proud of you for still being here. Keep going. Even when it’s heavy. Even when it hurts. One day, you’ll look back and realize that staying was the bravest thing you ever did.

Love, Bobby 🙏🏻

We are humbled by the outpouring of love and support today at our final church service and the retirement of Pastor Larry.
The ministries, relationships and faith nurtured here for the past twenty years will live on in this community that we love.
We serve an almighty God and He has blessed us abundantly! Although this chapter is closing our remaining resources will bless other Kingdom causes.
The church is not the brick and mortar, but a community of believers. We are the church and we will continue! 🙏🏼
