About R|S
"You are my Refuge & Strength"
In the middle of one of the hardest years of my life, a year where my faith was tested, a year where doubt, depression, and thoughts of throwing in the towel became a common theme in my head, I found myself sitting on my bed telling God "I've got nothing left to give." In that moment, I decided to grab my bible and began reading Psalm 18. "I love you, Lord, my STRENGTH. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock in whom I take REFUGE,"
As I continued to read all of Psalm 18, I was quickly reminded that we serve a big God who wants to be the source of our strength. When it feels like, "4. The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me," God wants our response to be like David's... "6. In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help." You see, I wasn't living dependent on God. I was choosing to live my life relying on my own strength. Nothing seemed to be going right which led to me working harder and harder, trying to move things forward but finding myself unable to do so. I began believing the thought's that ran through my head, "failure, incapable, poor leader, worthless" and the list goes on. This thinking opened the door to stress, anxiety, depression and many more negative thoughts. But, through His Word, I was reminded that not only is He the source of my strength, He is also my refuge when needing a safe place to turn for peace and comfort.
It was in that moment I chose to lean on God as my refuge and strength and not look back. The more I would share my story with friends and family, the more a dream began to spring up within me to create a unique way to share the Gospel and the impact that Jesus has had on my life. Over a short period of time R|S was launched and the dream became a reality.
