TRAPPED IN THE PIT

GOD IS WORKING FOR YOU

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is trust God when you can't see what He's doing.
When the doors keep closing.
When the prayers seem unanswered.
When the relationships fall apart.
When the money gets tight.
When the depression won't lift.
When the tears fall and nobody knows.
When you feel forgotten.
When life feels unfair.

That's when faith is tested.

Many of us want God to show us the entire staircase before we take the first step. But God doesn't work that way. He asks us to trust Him in the darkness just as much as we trust Him in the light.
Some of the greatest things God has done in my life happened when I thought He was silent.

While I was frustrated, He was preparing me.
While I was waiting, He was positioning me.
While I was hurting, He was healing me.
While I was losing things, He was teaching me what truly mattered.

I spent 7,122 days in prison wondering how God could ever use my life. Looking back now, I realize He was working the entire time.
Every setback had a purpose.
Every delay had a purpose.
Every disappointment had a purpose.
Every painful lesson had a purpose.
What looked like punishment became preparation.

What looked like isolation became transformation.
What looked like the end became the beginning.
Some of you reading this are in a pit right now.

Maybe it's financial.
Maybe it's emotional.
Maybe it's spiritual.
Maybe it's a prison cell.
Maybe it's a prison of the mind.
Wherever you are, I want you to know this:
God has not forgotten you.
The pit is not your destination.
The struggle is not your identity.
The setback is not your story.
The delay is not your denial.
God is still breaking chains.
God is still healing wounds.
God is still opening doors.
God is still restoring lives.
God is still preparing purpose.
And even when you cannot see His hand, you can trust His heart.

Keep praying.
Keep believing.
Keep growing.
Keep climbing.
Because one day you will look back and realize that God was working on your behalf the entire time.
You may be in the pit, but you are not forgotten.
Your story is not over. Your purpose is still waiting.

Hello everyone, we would like to take a moment to acknowledge and express our sincerest apologies for the recent lack of updates regarding the current state of the kitchen and the expansions that have taken place over the past couple of months. The Lord has graciously expanded the Kitchen with another trailer to utilize as a clothes distribution facility, and has also provided us with the opportunity to construct raised bed planters to cultivate and utilize our own vegetables for meal service. We have been excited and grateful to serve approximately 70 to 80 meals per day, five days a week, thanks to the dedication of our wonderful volunteers and sowers who make it all possible. At this time, the Soup kitchen is in need of a few essential items that we would like to bring to your attention. Firstly, we value your continued prayers and ask that you pray for us to persist in our mission to fulfill God's calling. Secondly, we are in need of Ham, Hamburger meat, and bottled water. Thirdly, we would like to bring to your attention the opportunity to partner with us financially and volunteer your time to aid us in building the Kingdom and our community. Thank you sincerely for everything you do to support us. P.s Here's some pictures and videos of the recent developments at the Kitchen.
