From Buckhorn to the World

A prayer spoken during a bitter Wisconsin winter led Naomi to the Appalachian hollers of Buckhorn, Kentucky. There, God gave her more than a nursing position—He gave her a calling, a wise mentor, and a spirit of compassionate service that shaped the rest of her life. What place, person, or unexpected circumstance has God used to shape yours?

Bloom Where You Are Planted.

Encouraging & challenging people to be “rooted”, “grounded” and “grow” and so bloom” where they are “planted” in their neighborhood, world and career…using their Passion”,” Abilities”,” Gifts”, “Strengths” and prior “Experiences” God has gifted them with and thereby bringing glory and honor to the LORD. 1st Corinthians 10:31 You are wonderfully made, a masterpiece of God’s loving design. Every part of you—your body, mind, and soul—was crafted with divine intention. Your uniqueness is not random; it is a purposeful gift that equips you to fulfill your role in God’s creation. In a world filled with diversity and challenges, your individuality serves as an essential note in the symphony of humanity.
