The Founder's Heart
Grace and Greetings Beloved,
When I think of how amazed I am by God’s grace, truly, my joy overflows! However, every now and then we enter into a season where unmerited favor is abundant. Since starting H.O.M.E. a year ago, we’ve experienced highs and lows, heard heart-wrenching stories, endured challenges, and learned to appreciate the sacrifices that come with being a servant. But, more importantly, I have witnessed the gracious spirit of what it really means to have a ‘Heart like His.’
When this ministry began we knew the road would not be easy. My husband and I worked before sunrise and well into the late wee hours. We dodged raindrops, chilly winds and sweltering heat—vowing never to complain. During that time God sent a true Angel into our lives. She not only caught the vision, but exemplifies just as much passion and love, as we do, for the labor set before us. She too has worked well into the night to help bear our heavy load. In fact, often, while we were asleep, she was awake burning the midnight oil creating flyers, designing banners, crafting invitations, posting to social media, securing sponsors, preparing for events and the list goes on.
You see, like seasons’ change, every now and then God sends into our lives one who is extraordinarily worthy of being called an “every now and then.” Carolyn Tolbert has been a rare jewel sent divinely into our lives, joined our mission, rolled up her sleeves and served tirelessly—all with joy and laughter. Leotis and I are so deeply grateful that God chose her to be our sister and friend. And we are honored to announce that Carolyn Tolbert has officially accepted the role as Partner with this organization.
Carolyn, we love you—we appreciate you—we welcome you H.O.M.E.!
