I was able to meet with a gentleman yesterday for lunch who is leading a biblical counseling ministry and a Celebrate Recovery ministry in his church in a neighboring town. He actually has been working with the counseling ministry about the same amount of time as I have. It was nice to meet him and find someone I can work with close by as the ministries continue. He seemed pleased with this too. The thing I am always amazed with is finding each and every one of us has a story–a past. His story is very different from my own, but it is one he has struggled with for most of his years. He is now able to use his story through God’s Work with others needing his help. I should expect this by now, but each time I am simply amazed with what God does through His kids.

This morning I just want to thank God for His endless mercy and grace He bestows on each one of us. What a gracious and loving Father we get to serve!
