New York Times Best Selling Author & Lead Pastor of National Community Church in Washington D.C., Pastor Mark Batterson, says it best in most of his books - "Show me the size of your dream and I'll show you the size of your God."
Well...the size of Dr. Ingham & Candace's faith in 2020 may have only been the size of a mustard seed when they began running after dreams that were destined to fail without divine intervention, but it was enough to pull them through the last four years of building Full Scope EyeCare into the Modern Practice with a Hometown Feel God had in store for them & The Clutch. Now, was it an easy - breezy, luxurious four years building Full Scope? π€£π€£π€£ Absolutely not. Was it an awesome and insane journey with all the highs and lows God could put a team and a couple through in order to keep them humble, strong, and chisel them out to be better versions of themselves? π You better believe it!
Interesting Story: In December 2024, Dr. Ingham bought the hot air balloon Chirstmas blow up decoration you may have seen on our Downtown Ortonville Christmas Float this year. He bought something that's not your typical Christmas symbol, which made Candace's job tough when it came to wrapping a Christmas-y theme around it. It took her awhile, but she picked out the lyrics in the song, "Winter Wonderland" to become the mantra for going into their 5th year at Full Scope & opening their new medspa, MedSpa Raphael. The lyrics go, πΆ "To Face Unafraid, The Plans That We've Made"πΆ, which coordinated beautifully with the hot air balloon symbolism of "Hope to Foundations", "Adventure in the Journey", "Imagination", "Love", "Creating A Storybook Life", "Ascension & Moving Forward", "Guidance Towards Our Higher Purpose & Perspectives" and "Freedom and Transcendence." So, in this past Chirstmas in the Village Parade, they walked in a winter wonderland, showcasing that they do not dream unless divine intervention is necessary for achievement. And, with faith maturing into a fully-grown mustard tree and excitment in their hearts, they and The Clutch will face unafraid the plans that they've made, riding into their 5th year celebrating all that has been achieved by the team in such a short window of time and what is to soon be added to their journey together so they can continue to serve in the best ways their gifts allow.
We are so thankful for hindsight being 20/20 and seeing how God guided us through those first four years. We are also beyond grateful for all our patients and partners who have been on this journey with us, and have chosen us time and again to care for them and do business with us. We could not have made it without any of you. π₯° Cheers to going into our 5th year of caring for you & our community, and we hope you have a safe, blessed, and healthy New Year!
