Matthew 25:40

Jesus has a way of conveying a beauty that can hardly be described by words. It’s a beauty that seeps from the cracks of these broken lives we lead. When we share an intimate relationship with our Beloved, we can catch glimpses of the world through His Eyes. The images we see can grip our hearts and change our souls. The suppressed image we create in our minds of our God is revolutionized; we realize how much more we have to know of Him. When we see His magnificence in the raw, grueling circumstances of those who lead the loneliest of lives, we are transformed. We grow. The very fiber of our being becomes more intertwined with The Creator of the Universe and the architect of our souls. After moving to St. Simons Island in July of 2006, I was deeply moved by experiences surrounding the Lord’s beauty being revealed in the “trenches”. I took the hand of my Savior in anticipation and was lead down a road that He had paved for me in order to teach me and refine my faith. I have worked in the field of shattered lives, broken spirits, and profound heartache. Although the Lord has opened my eyes to the terror of satan’s destruction, He has furthermore revealed His own brilliant splendor. I moved to St. Simons with a simple hope of using my social work skills obtained through a bachelor’s degree at Auburn University, and God has exceeded meeting my desire to serve the weak and abandoned of the world by a vast margin. I burn with a longing to share the deeds and heart of our gracious God. His extraordinary presence is reaching the most ordinary of little towns such as ours on the coast of Georgia. He is adding chapters to the love story that started at the cross. From here forth I will share what He has revealed in the pages I have read so far…..
