I must confess that most of my life I measured everything by success in my personal and business life. That lead to many defeats and few victories because I was very hard on myself. Over the last few years, I have slowly come to understand that you cannot “outwork” every problem. I have come to understand that alone I am weak. I know now that with Him I can be strong and find peace.
We first were members of Trinity from’93-’99. We were invited by “The” Betty Crane. This church accepted and showered us with love. We grew spiritually and personally. In 1998 our daughter Sarah was born and baptized in this church. Trinity changed the whole trajectory of our lives.
We retired and came back to Trinity in 2021 as Covid ended. Again, we were accepted. I had envisioned a quiet retirement and maybe eventually teaching a Sunday School. The Lord had other plans. I was asked to help Betty Crane as a co Lay Leader to fill an unexpected opening. That moment changed everything, I finally understood that God was calling me to help. All He asked me to do was love and encourage this church. But it was the amazing people of Trinity who loved me and encouraged me. You have shown me that “Loving One Another To Christ” are not just words but a covenant. It permeates everything we do at this wonderful church. You have given me a purpose and a peace I have never known.
Today I measure my life by whether I showed love, encouragement, and humility to others thereby showing the love of Jesus.
