In regards to the creation of this ministry - realized through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit:

We were needing some direction in our lives, knowing that we had to have a purpose. During our nightly prayers together (my husband and I) - through tears, I begged the Lord for that direction - That we were open - we were ready - Here we are Lord - Send us.

The next night, I was restless and could not sleep. There was this tugging on my heart and in my mind... Normally - we are in bed and out like a light by 930-10pm.
I prayed for rest. But the Holy Spirit said,
"Nope - not until you get this right and understand what I am giving you."

So, I was up all night - taking notes. Fueled by Spirit - it just poured out. The concept, the name, what the name would stand for, all the way down to a vision of the logo and colors to use. Everything. All in one night. I texted my mom - and her first response was, "Why are you up?" (She's a night owl)

Once I had it all figured out, and the Spirit was done with me, I woke John up to show him, then dozed right off - at 3am.

After a long day at work, and an early bed time the next night, I was awakened at 3am, with a song in my heart. So, I was back up with the Holy Spirit - and we were jamming. This time, an anthem - words and music again pouring out of my hands and mouth and mind - but 100% not me at all.

I have complete faith in this thing that has been created. After all - it has been divinely inspired. There is no way - at all - I could have ever done this all on my own, in the span of 2 DAYS.

All we could do was be obedient. We asked for the Lord to send us, so here we go!

We haven't stopped since. Creating a website - again, something I have NEVER done - creating a signup form - to enroll kids - brochures designed - every day putting work into getting the word out - promoting - sending emails to anyone within the county and outside of the county, that I can think of - more ideas for social media posts (like this one).

But - lessons have been learned:

1) Ask and ye shall receive.

2) When He says Jump - then you JUMP.

And we have - with both feet. Eyes closed. Trusting in the Lord.
