One of the hardest prayers we can pray is, “Lord, use this pain to make me more like Jesus.”

Most of us want to know Christ in the joy of answered prayer and the power of resurrection. But there is another kind of fellowship with Him that is discovered through suffering.

Paul wrote that he wanted to know Christ, the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings.

That does not mean we should go looking for trouble. Life will bring enough of that on its own. But when suffering comes, we have a choice. We can allow it to make us bitter, or we can surrender it to God and allow Him to make us better.

Think about the character Jesus displayed while He suffered. He was patient, forgiving, loving, prayerful, courageous, and compassionate. Even while enduring the cross, He cared for others and trusted the Father.

That is the kind of heart God wants to develop in us.

Pain can expose what is inside us, but it can also create room for the Holy Spirit to change us. God can use hardship to soften our hearts toward people who are hurting. He can use our wounds to give us compassion. He can turn the place where we once cried into the place where we help someone else find hope.

Your suffering does not have to be meaningless. Place it in the hands of Jesus and ask Him to redeem it.
Lord, make me patient in this season. Help me forgive when I have been wounded. Teach me to love when it is difficult. Give me courage when I am afraid. Let the way I walk through this trial point someone else toward You.

I told him “Let’s meet early- just you and me. Before the chaos. Before the noise. Before the house wakes up. Coffee, Quiet & Connection.

— I sat down, Messy bun. Pajamas. Bible open. Coffee warm in my hands. “Okay im here” I whispered.

And I felt him say “I’ve been here. I’m glad you came”.

Then I heard the sound. Tiny feet. One sleepy toddler with bed head whispering “Can I snuggle you?” — I looked up and said “Just a minute Jesus..”

But one snuggle turned into breakfast…. A spill… a missing shoe.. The day had started and I said “im sorry I’ll come back.”— He gently responded “ I’ll be right here.”

I turned on worship music in the car. Whispered prayers over snacks. Held back tears in the Laundry room over frustration.
And I heard him say “This counts too”.

“I don’t need your perfect morning, I want your heart — right where it is. In the car, in the chaos, in the middle of motherhood. “

At 9pm when the house was quiet i said “Did I miss it??” And He said “Never. I’ve been here all day. Right here, still with you, still for you.

Because Thats who HE is. Not keeping score, Not giving up. Just faithfully showing up. He doesn’t need my performance, he just needs my presence. ❣️

Videos from our graduation weekend 🙌 🎓👩‍🎓✨️🙌

05/21/2026

This weekend we celebrated a huge accomplishment as a couple and family! It’s been a little over a year of studying, writing papers and many late nights and so many sacrifices, but it has all been worth it. God stretched us with lots of spiritual, mental and emotional growth! Never thought we would be having major surgery and battling cancer in the middle of this! Our favorite part is the new friendships we made that we will always cherish.

Jesse and Tamara have officially completed the Church of God Ministerial Internship Program, and have been commissioned as ordained ministers this weekend. For years we have answered God’s call to the mission field as a family. Now we join our church family! None of this could have been done without the support of our family and friends, our dental family, Frontline Missions and our teacher Dr Combs.
We are so excited to see how God continues to use us in Missions and local outreaches and for the lives we will impact for His Kingdom. All glory is to our God who calls us and backs us as we celebrate this victory, graduating as Ordained Ministers of the Council Church of God✨️ We love you all and can't wait celebrate this incredible milestone with you! ❤️
Many thanks and lots of love to Pastor Tamaras sister, Terralyn, for joining us in Tennessee for the commissioning and graduation!
