"I am
truly blessed. It is an honor to help people
when their burdens are too heavy. It is a
humbling and inspiring thing to walk the
difficult paths with people and be a part of
experiencing growth and comfort. Each day I
thank God for my role and ask that I be used
as an instrument of His love in helping.
There are times in our lives when all people
hurt and all people need assistance
refocusing and repairing. I am just very,
very awed to have the opportunity to do that
as a job."
