Hard times are useful for a handful of things. From a Biblical perspective, our weaknesses and struggles are an opportunity for God to be glorified. 2 Corinthians 12:10 says “That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” On a smaller and more personal scale, a difficult season of life is an opportunity for those in the community to step up and serve.

I was also excited to be a part of an organization that could offer premium quality care to our local community… I’m so happy that this opportunity was offered to me and it’s been a blessing to serve so many fabulous people. ‍
