I spend many mornings roaming the room in quiet prayer.
Having a space upstairs covered in windows gives me a birds eye view of the town I love. The town HE loves.
For years I wanted to run away to a big city. I did... only for God to bring us right back.
It took 6 months of feeling sorry for myself, before everything changed.
I was sitting outside enjoying a cup of coffee at baristas on Broadway in early fall 2019. I looked up and realized that this home I’ve always known was starting to look different.
Instead of replaying the feelings of being “annoyed and stuck” I for the first time saw hope and possibility. Endless possibilities. I told the Lord I wanted in on the action.
It was in that same timeframe that job offers popped back up in the city we loved. We could go back, or we could stay. Going would bring us back to the comfort of the city. Staying meant we would pursue the endless possibilities in Cape Girardeau.
God knows I’ll pick the best adventure every time. Our little hometown is our big adventure.
Finding a way for people who know the Lord, and people who don’t , and those who feel in the fringes to find healing and to reconnect inside of community is our hope.
Believing that our community is worth being well known for its creative expressions and providing resources for creatives is a passion. I want nothing more in life than for people to believe they are loved by God, and capable of pursing the God seeds inside of them. It truly wakes me up in the morning.
Since there’s not an exact manual on how to do all of that. I come and pray. Praying that all he has for you today you would uncover. Praying that you would feel boldness and courage to say yes to what’s in front of you. Praying that you would see alllllll the beauty in your life.
And if there’s anything else I can pray for leave it in the comments below!
We bless you. 🧡🧡🧡
