You shall teach them to your sons, talking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road and when you lie down and when you rise up. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your sons may be multiplied on the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens remain above the earth.… Deuteronomy 11:19-21
Do you know the song Oceans by Hillsong United? When I was at the Pursuit 31 conference this past October, we sang this song twice a day & the words really soaked in!
“Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior”
This has been my prayer for my life. . .that I will be obedient to do whatever it is that God is asking me to do. Little did I know back in October that God would be handing me keys to a house a couple months later. . .and taking a HUGE leap of faith. . .where I am having to trust “without borders”.
Some of you have been following this journey. For those of you who haven’t, you can read a bit more more here. We were given keys on January 6th to a home that will be specifically for Delight. When the home is completed remodeled, this home will sleep six girls and three leaders with potential growth in the future.
During the first ever Delight Intensive (smaller retreat with a specific focus) the end March, we all visited the Delight House and wrote verses on the walls of the house! Seeing girls from all over the country (FL, SC, MO, CA, OR) writing on the walls and sharing in the excitement, made me realize that this is just the beginning of something bigger than I can humanly imagine.
We are currently in a holding pattern. With the busyness of the Intensive, the upcoming retreat the end of April, homeschooling my boys, the excitement of my oldest getting married, and real life, I have not had any time to look into fundraising. The next step in fixing up the house will be putting up sheetrock. I am daily learning to trust as humanly I would love nothing more than to see this house have its first intensive held there this coming November with Dawn Davis teaching about marketing and branding! But that is my human dream and it would truly be a miracle for this to happen!
Last night I read a quote “Our role is obedience. God’s role is results.” When I remember that this is His and His timing is always perfect, it allows me to take a deep breath and know that He already has everything perfectly planned. That He cares about the Delight girls even more than I do. . . .and that He has a beautiful plan for this home.
Please join me in praying about the future of Delight. . .Specifically for God to powerfully provide the funds and labor to move forward with this project. Thanks for being part of this exciting adventure!
Delight your heart in Jesus!

this just makes my heart so full and happy. God has so much in store for this house and I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen with it.
This makes my heart all sorts of happy.
So much overflowing joy seeing these words on the wall and the smiles of these ladies. So absolutely eager to see where the Lord takes this. <3 <3
