I have felt like I could never find my place in the<br />

world or work world. It went on for years and none<br />

of the jobs stuck. One night in our life group at church<br />

about seven months ago I couldn’t take it anymore.<br />

The Lord prompted me to be vulnerable and to share<br />

with the people in my life group my situation, so I did.<br />

The next morning, I had a call about a job and an<br />

interview lined up for the Mustard Seed.<br />

God opened that door immediately!<br />

It’s above what we needed to live on and not<br />

just as a job, but as a ministry as well.<br />

For the first time in my marriage with my wife Kim,<br />

I feel like I know the plan God has for my life.<br />

He has given me stability and an overwhelming peace!<br />

In 2016, I was going through a dark valley and I really<br />

needed someone to pour into me because I was pouring<br />

into girls in my churches youth group and at Brandon High<br />

School. I prayed about it for months because I needed<br />

a mentor and didn’t want to just pick one. I knew it had<br />

to be from God. Someone older and wiser who would<br />

encourage me, pour into me, and push me closer to Christ.<br />

God showed out, and I mean really showed out.<br />

He blessed me with Kim Martin. She’s one of the godliest,<br />

loving, supportive, encouraging ladies I’ve ever known and<br />

she pours into me every day. We’re coming up on two years<br />

of our mentor/mentee relationship. She has become my<br />

best friend, accountability partner, and my favorite person.<br />

She loves me like Jesus loves me and that’s something that<br />

goes beyond my wildest dreams for a mentor. She is the<br />

greatest mom, role model, mentor, and friend I could<br />

ever have. I’m so thankful that the Lord put us together.<br />
