There is no way to describe the brutality of 2022. A stroke that nearly ended my life, being out of our building for 7 months due to a roof problem. (Soon to reopen in weeks) and the overall feeling of hopelessness. After the stroke, I just thought that I would get back to 110% and I tried to go that hard again only to be set back by immense struggles and often times a lack of will to go on. It was a crushing year of self doubt, equilibrium problems, and random moments of intense brain fog. It’s hard when you don’t feel like your old self. However, Everything is being reborn in 2023 and I can’t wait for the reopening of our building and for the progressive stamina that I feel returning like Sampson who was getting stronger and stronger day by day. A beautiful future awaits in 2023 with obvious good things ahead on the calendar full of amazing predictable shining moments. In retrospect, God was moving in 2022 and the @ladreamcenter kept housing and serving with greater fervor and helping more people. The amount of people in our housing programs surged at crazy levels. But there was a test of all of our teams heart and will. The greatest moments are often when we take every single blow being pressed against the ropes and we make it to the corner and allow God to repair us to get back out and fight. It’s amazing how many punches we can take and still survive another round. Momentum is interesting and it usually rebounds stronger after fierce testing. Survival is advancing! It sets the stage to the next platform and altitude that only the greatest battles produce. There’s no such things as going backwards when you’ve committed yourself to the finish line from the start. Thanks for loving me and for keeping the @ladreamcenter moving forward through all your prayers and support. I hate this picture as it looks like I got in a Waffle House brawl. Ha!
