Ever since I can remember, I have wanted to serve God.  I remember playing "nun" when I was seven years old with my mother's slip on my head, trying to force my little bother to be the altar boy.  When I grew up, I went to Bible College with dreams of saving the world.  While at Bible College, I and my best friend Christine would dream of the ways that the Lord would use us, and even came up with a name for the ministry we one day hoped to have- "In-Step Ministries".  After we graduated, Christine moved on to other things, and I, well, I fell away from the Lord.

“Leaders are measured by how much they sacrifice, not by how much they gain.  When the will of God cuts across the will of a person, somebody has to die.  Leaders are meant to be losers-losers of ourselves and losers of our rights.  The best way to find out whether you really have a servant’s heart is to see what your reaction is when somebody treats you like one.”
