Fun Facts About Rob

🎶 What is your favorite worship song (and why)?

Jesus, Lover of my Soul …… I would sing this song every day, throughout the day, after God Divinely freed me from my alcohol and drug abuse on June 7, 2001

Jesus, lover of my soul
Jesus, (Lord) I will never let You go
And You’ve taken me
You’ve taken me from the miry clay
Yes, You have
You’ve set my feet upon the rock (and now I know)
And now I know

💬 Why do you love helping others? 

Walking through life with others brings me so much joy… especially when the glimmer of hope turns back on and they start to thrive in their recovery.

🔥 What is a challenge you have faced and how did God help you through it?

During one my darkest times, when the greatest mistake of my life unfolded, God helped me turn that into the great opportunity to truly seek him..resulting in me, for the first time, understanding who I am in Christ. A truth I will never let slip away again.

Mountains, weather, camping, hiking, community, and being able to witness all 4 seasons (sometimes within 24 hours!).

🐾 Are you a dog or cat person (and why)?

Totally a dog person. Grew up with Labradors. My parents bred Labs. My Labrador Jake was my best friend, who helped me walk through many tough seasons in my life. Jake actually save my life (well, God used Jake to save me from a suicide attempt the night before I found sobriety.) Now we have Sam (cavoodle) and Max (labradoodle).
Cats make me sneeze.

Fun Facts About Amy

🎶 What is your favorite worship song (and why)?

Open the Eyes of My Heart Lord

This was the first song I heard when I was broken that made me look up. When I looked up, I saw the truth.

The truth: Jesus was there waiting for me to Open the Eyes of My Heart. From there, my new life began as a seeker of truth.

💬 Why do you love helping others? 

I was called into a life of serving God’s sick children and we are all his children. I get the honor of witnessing God do his work with the hopeless. Getting to watch the light come on in someone’s eyes and hope returning is awe inspiring.

🔥 What is a challenge you have faced and how did God help you through it?

SURVIVING BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS

When I surrendered and gave God my brokeness that I was carrying into every relationship the miracle happened. The miracle was God showing me that he loved me in the broken state I was in. He taught me that if I put my relationship with him first I experience the greatest of loves, all else pales in comparison. Then He healed my heart and taught me how to respect myself.

📖 What is your favorite Bible verse?

John 5:1-15

5 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda[a] and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades.
3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed.
[4] [b] 5 One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
7 “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”
8 Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” 9 At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath,
10 and so the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.”
11 But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ”
12 So they asked him, “Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?”
13 The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.
14 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.”
15 The man went away and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.
