I could name so many reasons that I appreciate my pastor Josh Winn, but if I had to name just one it would be the amount of time he has taken out of his personal schedule to disciple me in the times I needed it the most. And, though we a now over 700 miles apart; he still takes the time to check in on me and encourage me. He’s been a friend, mentor, a teacher, a pastor, and coach to me and for that I am grateful! Pastor Appreciation ought to be celebrated year round; pour into thier lives as they pour into yours.

Last year was probably one of the toughest years I’ve been through in quite a while. In a four month time span, our beloved family dog passed away from cancer, my long-time job was eliminated and I was sent to a different division at the company, then my mother passed away suddenly, and I resigned at work. Life felt like it was spinning out of control and I could do nothing to stop it. However, through the grace of God, a lot of tears and questioning, plus a TON of prayer, I made it through the darkest moments. I am beyond grateful for WBGL and the consistent connection to prayer, worship music, and encouragement to find peace during the pain and confusion of life.
