A few weeks ago I was feeling discouraged about the state of our Highland House church plant. We had asked people to step up and take responsibility. They had for a while, but then it seemed that some of them were falling back on their commitments. We had also recently seen a drop off in attendance. It was then that God reminded me to remember those whose lives He had changed through Highland House. As I thought about a teen who life was completely turned around, about a mom who five years ago was addicted to drugs who now owns a house and makes sure that her kids are busy in sports and other extra curricular activities, about another mom who is seeking God's direction in every step she takes, and about a woman who truly understands the meaning of God's grace and mercy in her life, I remembered that Highland House is God's church and that he is responsible for changing lives.

At that time God also reminded me that he cares about people, and that is where my focus should be. As I have asked Him to help me to see the people of Chester with His eyes, he has brought many people across my path and has given me a new heart and passion to build relationships with them.
