Listen, we (I) am always complaining about things gone wrong, but rarely do we (I) acknowledge when things gone wrong actually go right. I want to throw some positivity out there today. Last week....

The details don't even matter really. But, this morning I woke up to a bit of a crisis. I had no idea what to do or how to make things right or how to afford to even find out. As I spiraled into panic I said, "Wait. We have a church family. Surely there is someone who could help with this kind of thing." So I called my church mama who talked to her hubby who called a friend who had someone to my house later this same day who fixed my crisis. No bill. No shame. No questions. Just help…

On October 16 & 17, 2021, we hosted our first full weekend of worship gatherings. Saturday evening services are creating more time and space for those who are finding the Father, a family, and a fulfilling future at Cornerstone. And it's been just over six months since we launched our Here & Now Campaign, so we celebrated by revealing the exterior design plans for our new building! Our Cornerstone Family had an incredible time of worship together, praising God for who he is, what he has done, and what he is going to do! He is the Waymaker, Miracle-worker, Promise-keeper -- and he is on the move!

This past year, Clara was diagnosed with autism. Then I lost one of my best friends in an awful accident. On top of starting a new job (which I love! But working in HR, in a hospital, in a pandemic- when things are just weird...it is not for the faint of heart! ) and then I was going just a little crazy from being an extrovert who suddenly was home all the time…

Heart was thing I was missing, because for most of my life mine was broken. I hated myself, was taught that there was something fundamentally wrong with me, intentionally or not. I struggled with self-loathing and depression for two decades. It wasn’t until we had been going to Cornerstone for a little while, maybe six months, that I began to see real victory on those fronts.

When I was in elementary school my parents got divorced. It was really hard because I was so young. I didn’t understand what was going on.
After their divorce, I would go to church on Sunday mornings out of obligation, not because I wanted to.

Even though these have been some of the hardest times that I have ever been through, I am thankful for them. Without God, my children, and Cornerstone Church I'm not sure I would have made it.

It's been a few weeks since the launch of our “Here & Now” campaign, and we’re still running off the high that God provided during our Commitment and First Fruits weekends! We saw God move in our church in a mighty way as we prayed, believed, and committed to partner with Him for a miracle in our midst. And Church, God is already moving and working—and he’s doing it through us. Did you know that right now we have well over 100 families, couples, or individuals who have already given to our campaign? And that the total amount of donations already in hand is over $100,000? How amazing is that?! We are well on our way to seeing our new building come into realization. God is working miracles in the here and now, and He’s just getting started! As we’ve said and as we believe—the best isn’t yet to come...it’s here and now!

As I look back on the past eight years, God continues to amaze me with his grace and mercy. All glory be to God! I see where God's hand was on me even before I knew Him. In Acts 1, Jesus tells us we will receive the power of the Holy Spirit and witness to the ends of the earth.
