Equipping others with the resources in our community and mentoring them into a life pleasing to God. Using the resources in our community to provide guidance and training of the life skills that they may need. Hand in Hand will always seek God’s guidance as we assist the “least of these.”

“When You Pray-God Listens. When You Listen-God Talks. When You Believe-God Works.”

There are a lot of people who only pray as a last resort. Nothing else under our power has worked, so we “take a chance” on God. God wants us to have faith in Him first, not as a last resort. Some of us may not be at that point in our faith yet, so start small, one little prayer, then listen to God and wait for the results. A prayer journal is an excellent way to see the power of God and how He answers prayer. If you write down your prayers, you can go back and see how God responds. God answers prayers in different ways. Sometimes the answer is “yes,” and the result happens immediately. Other times the answer is “not right now,” and we must wait for the right time, so it fits into God’s plan. We should remember that God’s plan is much bigger than ours. He has existed forever and is much more patient than us. God’s answer could be, “that wouldn’t be good for you at this time.”
As we grow in our walk with God, He wants us to have faith in His answers. God wants us to see the power of prayer. God wants us to have “big” faith, yet He tells us we can move mountains with faith the size of a mustard seed. In Matthew 17:20, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Jesus had just removed a demon from a boy, and the disciples asked Jesus, “Why couldn’t we cast out the demon?” The answer is they didn’t have faith.
Start building your faith by reading the Bible, having relationships with other believers, and finding the truth. All of this will produce the integrity of your faith to a size much larger than a “mustard seed.”
Begin small by saying a prayer right now. Have a conversation with your creator. If you are mad at Him, tell Him you are mad. He can take it. If you are confused, ask Him to give you clarity. If you are troubled, ask Him for direction. Then, take the time to listen. Find others to pray with you.
A mustard seed is a very tiny seed. When planted, it grows more massive than all other herbs. If you are feeling small, plant God in you and let Him grow.

“Be Still and Know That I Am God.”
Psalms 46:10

During this time of “unknown,” we can still know who God is. I have a lot of questions about the “Coronavirus” and how it will affect our future. I don’t know what to do next and feel stuck waiting for good news that things are getting better. We all thought the world was coming to an end on 9-11, but people came together to help others, and relationships were mended, and communities were rebuilt. Some people are doing things for others, but most of us are being asked to practice “social distancing.”
I saw a post on Facebook this morning that had a different perspective on the virus. It goes like this: “What if...the virus is here to help us? To reset. To remember what is truly important. Reconnecting with family and community. Remembering the importance of prayer, reducing travel so that the environment, the skies, the air, and our lungs all get a break. Parts of China are seeing blue sky and clouds for the first time in forever with the factories being shut down. Working from home rather than commuting to work gives us less pollution, more personal time. We get the opportunity to reconnect with family as there is more time at home. An invitation to turn inwards -- a deep meditation -- rather than the usual extroverted going out to self-soothe. To reconnect with myself I have to ask what is really important to me? A reset economically. The working poor. The lack of healthcare access for over 30 million in the US. The need for paid sick leave. How hard does one need to work to live and have a life outside of work? And, washing our hands -- how did that become a “new” thing that we needed to remember. But, yes, we did. The presence of Grace AND GOD for all. There is a shift underway in our society -- what if it is favorable for us? What if this virus is an ally in our evolution? In our remembrance of what it means to be connected, humane, living a simpler life, to be less impactful/ more kind to our environment. An offering from my heart this morning. Offered as another perspective. Another way of relating to this virus, this unfolding, this evolution. It was time for a change. We all knew that. And, change has arrived. What if...”
God has provided us with time to be still and know who He is. Take advantage of this time and get to know your family again. Really know them. Find out what is really important. Work on those relationships. God wants your attention and a relationship with Him. That also gives us time to reflect on our integrity. In a time of a natural disaster, integrity becomes essential again. It is times like these that force us to look for the truth. Sifting through mounds of information leads us to search for the truth and w**d out the lies. We can find the truth if we start by being still and knowing who God is. We don’t have to wait on a virus to bring us to God. He is waiting for you right now.
God, Relationships, Integrity, and Truth. GETCHASOME!

“Broken Crayons Still Color.”

Have you ever felt so broken that you didn’t think you could make a difference? The good news is that this is not true. God allows us to go through things so we can grow and help someone else because of our experience. Experiencing brokenness and understanding it makes your crayons of life brighter. We are all drawing a picture with our lives, and it would be a drab picture without color. Use your experiences to show someone how to overcome them. Let your life be the HOPE that someone needs as they struggle with their brokenness. Another word for brokenness is sin. God allows us to go through the pain of sin so that we repent and change. God will allow you to feel the sorrow until there is nothing left but for us to cry out to Him. In 2 Corinthians 7:9-10, Paul is talking about a forthright letter he had sent to the church of Corinth. It says, “yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.” Allow your sins to bring you to repentance so you can use your story to help others.
Most of us think we are so broken that we can’t possibly recover in God’s eyes. We feel worthless and unusable. I want you to know that the more problematic your story has been, the greater the story of your redemption will be. God has forgiven murderers, adulterers, and even those who have yelled at God and called Him names. Yell at God if you need to. He can take it, and He will be glad to hear from you.
Put some color in your crayons and draw a beautiful picture of your life as a story of forgiveness, grace, mercy, and redemption. Someone is waiting to see your artwork.
Allow God to guide you in the rebuilding of broken relationships. He is waiting to be the strength behind your integrity, and He is waiting to show you the truth of His love for you. God wants to redeem you and your story. Get out your broken crayons and start drawing today.
GETCHASOME!

Gracie is not paying attention in class today. No wonder she never phases up.

Today at Hand in Hand WRC we gathered for a women’s potluck and my heart is overflowing.

There was laughter on the porch, stories around the table, full plates, full hearts and a little extra sparkle for each woman from some handmade pieces.

God rescued each one of us from the horrors of active addiction. He didn’t just save us from something. He saved us for something. Today was a glimpse of that.

Full tummies. Full hearts.

Looking around at these women, I see strength. I see redemption. I see courage. I see leaders. This group of girls can change the world, and I am so incredibly blessed to walk alongside them.

So thankful Miss Allison was able to join us today. What a gift.

Recovery is real. Miracles are real. And sisterhood is powerful.

All glory to God for the life we get to live today.

With so much love and gratitude
❤️ Annie
