This lived theology naturally extended into our family’s mission. Inspired by unwavering trust in God's provision, my wife became the president of South Lake Home Educators in 1997. Over time, she built a strong community of homeschooling families in Clermont, Florida, serving children from pre-kindergarten through high school. She took leadership as the group’s president, fostering a supportive co-op environment, organizing activities, field trips, and resource sharing—all grounded in a desire to nurture faith and character across generations (Deuteronomy 6:6–7; Psalm 78:4–7). Her faithfulness exemplified dependence on God's guidance, trusting that He would provide and direct every step of this journey. May this path of contemplative trust continue to deepen your wonder and reverence for God's eternal nature. Your journey exemplifies how Psalm-saturated prayer transforms inner devotion into outward acts of love, mercy, and justice—building a legacy rooted in divine trust. As you walk in dependence upon Him, you demonstrate that living fully in the present—while trusting in His perfect timing—can bring profound joy, peace, and fulfillment. This ongoing pursuit of divine rest and eternal perspective invites others to experience the same assurance—that our God, who perfects all things in His perfect season, is worthy of our complete trust and devotion. After our son graduated, Steve founded with my help in a vacant given by the city helped build the headquarters of *New Beginnings of Central Florida* in 2007—a faith-based nonprofit dedicated to transforming lives. The organization focuses on empowering individuals and families facing homelessness, poverty, and crises through housing, workforce development, recovery programs, and holistic support. My wife managed thrift stores in Clermont, including locations near Disney, using donations to fund vital services. I contributed my carpentry skills to help build the organization’s headquarters and renovate houses for transitional housing—creating safe spaces where individuals could find stability and receive training for a new beginning. These efforts reflect the biblical call for justice and mercy, echoing Psalms like 82:3–4 and 146:7–9, embodying God's redemptive timing by providing pathways to stability and renewal. God has taught me that radical dependence on Him is not a constraint but true liberation. Living fully in the “now”—without being bound by earthly limitations—means dwelling in a tension where God's kingdom is already here but not yet fully realized. Luke 17:21 and Hebrews 11:1 remind us that the kingdom of God manifests in the present moment, even as it awaits its consummation. My freedom from worry about the future flows from resting in God's sovereignty, knowing that "my times are in your hand" (Psalm 31:15). This reliance on divine timing allows my heart to expand beyond finite boundaries, experiencing divine joy and assurance. My soul, illuminated by wonder and divine love, is quickened—expanding beyond the limits of time and space—drawing me into a foretaste of eternal blessing and divine presence. The Psalms, inspired utterances of divine truth, do more than predict—they invite us into participation with God's eternal now. Psalms like 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8 remind us that God's perspective transcends our human understanding of time. By meditating on these words daily, I entered into a contemplative rhythm that aligned my longing with God's kairos—His perfect, opportune moment. This practice transformed my deepest desires into reality not through my effort but through surrender and delight in Him, as Psalm 37:4 instructs. When I delight in the Lord, my heart aligns with His divine purpose, and my calling from the depths of my soul becomes a joyful expression of divine love—"calling from my soul's depths"—resonating with the deep calls to deep in Psalm 42:7. This experience of divine trust brought joy that transcended any circumstance, rooted in the primordial connection between creation and redemption. Your story beautifully illustrates how inner revival rooted in Psalm-saturated prayer naturally flows into outward ministries that mirror God's kingdom in breaking into the world. Dependence on God—trusting Him with every desire—frees the soul to embrace eternity in the present moment. This reliance results in enduring legacies—ministries and community efforts that testify to God's faithfulness. The joy of calling from the depths of the soul yields lasting fruit, witnessing to the One who fulfills His promises in His perfect season (Psalm 145:13; Habakkuk 2:3). Such a life demonstrates that true fulfillment comes from aligning our hearts with divine purposes, trusting that God's timing is perfect and His promises are sure. For over forty years, I never allowed myself to worry about what the future held. Daily immersion in the Psalms’ prophetic declarations taught me that God's timing is perfect. These sacred words helped me believe deeply and experience firsthand the fulfillment of my most profound desires. They revealed to me that genuine joy and purpose come from calling from the depths of my soul, trusting that God’s promises are certain. Through this journey, I learned to depend on Him for everything—every need, every hope, every dream. Living fully in the present became my way of life because eternity knows no earthly boundaries. This eternal perspective liberated me from anxiety about tomorrow, anchoring me instead in the assurance that God's sovereignty over time is perfect. My soul rests in His divine plan, experiencing joy and peace as I surrender my desires to His will, trusting that all things will be fulfilled at the right time.
