2025 became the worst year of my life, but praise God for our Heavenly Father's character of grace, mercy, and long suffering. As Jonah 4:2 says: "...I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity". I believe that the devil didn't want GTD to turn 30... he wanted this ministry to die at the age of 29. I believe he was on a 5+ year campaign to dismantle me so that he could ultimately destroy this ministry. It almost worked. Almost. I was so exhausted, grieved, angry, & depressed that I had many moments when I didn't think I had anything left in the tank to run this ministry. I became a train wreck. But I serve a God that fixes train wrecks! God opened my eyes and woke me up. Like the Prodigal Son I "came to my senses". And from that point God started turning my survival into my revival! I'm thrilled to share that on January 1, 2026 GTD not only turned 30, but we are now actively working on the next 30 years of ministry. God is turning the devil's plans to decrease into God's plans to increase! Happy 30th Birthday GTD!! I can't wait to see what the enemy was trying to stop!!!
