What is your role at HOPE, in your own words?
Part organizer, part encourager, part connector, but full time champion of the wonderful people who are HOPE and who serve our community.
What’s your favorite verse/passage of scripture and why?
“I see that the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and my tongue shouts his praises! My body rests in hope… You have shown me the way of life, and you will fill me with the joy of your presence.” Acts 2: 25-28
It’s so tough to pick just one passage of scripture but these verses feel so true when I reflect on the way God has always been with me and when I stop and focus on that gift I am truly filled with the joy of his presence.
