Getting arrested was one of the best things that ever happened to me.

If I had to do it all over, and God said, ‘I’m going to give you a son with cancer,’ I’d do it all again—no question.

I am forever grateful for that extra invitation and for finally saying YES to walking in his light.

Then I heard a voice, not audible but very impressionable, say, "That was her purpose.”

Let’s pray that we, too, will be known for warmly welcoming all who enter Hope Community Church with curious and hungry hearts.

I never planned to play worship music for the church. It was an unexpected blessing.
