Ashes to Beauty
The Transformation that has taken place in my life is like a rare jewel. I will never ceased to be amazed by His goodness and grace. Above I was doing “time” for getting high at school. Below I am preparing to marry the most amazing man on the planet and together we would begin a journey that has been revolutionary.
The mission: most of you may remember a post a while back regarding the apt complex my husband purchased. Several months later we are embracing a call to make the community livable again. I cannot describe how blessed we are to get to be a part of this project. We have named it The Tapestry Project. A desire to weave together the resources in our city. I have a sketch book full of the dreams for this community development project that are being compelled by the Love of God.
Each one of these apartments are being filled by those in need. We are engaging the community through outreaches and resource mobilization. Our desire is to love the neighbors, mobilize resources that they may need, push out the drug dealers, push back the gangs that destroy young lives, feed the hungry, create accountability, reach the latch key kids, establish leadership within the community church, offer temporary and permanent solutions to the problems that these families face. Remove the gentleman’s club:) Bottom line: Push back darkness and Advance His kingdom.
I love you Amy!
