I Want to Walk on the Water

Before you read the full story, I wanted to share this piece of my heart face-to-face. This journey has changed me in ways I’m still learning to explain. But through every wave, God has remained faithful. 🎥 Watch the short video here . On Thursday, January 22, 2026, I flew home from a business trip to Dallas. By 11 PM, I was finally back in Thomasville, Georgia, exhausted but grateful to be home. Less than 24 hours later, my life changed forever. On Friday afternoon, after what I thought would be a somewhat routine echocardiogram, I was admitted directly into the hospital. I can still hear the cardiologist’s words,  “You are at risk for sudden cardiac death.”  Nothing prepares you for hearing words like that. Nothing. I went from living a normal life… to suddenly being monitored in a cardiac unit wondering what next. I left the hospital on January 27th with seven medications, a LifeVest, and a completely different life than the one I had walked in with just days before...

The drought may last longer than we wanted. The waiting may stretch our faith. The fires may leave marks behind. But eventually, God sends rain. And before the rain ever appeared, Elijah said: ...

We pray, seek God, read His Word, and try to stay faithful—yet inwardly it can feel like we are standing still. But what if you are not stuck at all?  What if God is working in ways you cannot yet see?

That means faith is not wasted. Trust is not empty. God uses every season to bring us deeper into Him.
