The beginning of the year is always a great time to look
personally at the journey that we've walked and the places we’ve come from. It’s a
time to understand again how good God is to us, and how even the difficult
times were used by Him.
My journey in ministry and in starting The Brook certainly
falls into that category. Three years after starting our church, there was great
difficulty personally and there were challenges in the church. The
brokenness within and the overwhelming nature of my life at the time motivated
me to get help and see a counselor— something all of us should do when needed.
