Thank you, Mom and Dad, for choosing love and for dreaming big 60 years ago in the face of those who couldn’t see, and didn’t believe.
Thank you for taking giant steps of faith to venture far and wide believing that if we just stayed together life would be good. You have always exemplified perseverance. Even when it looked like there was no way, God was faithful. Thank you for walking through the way that He made.
Thanks for choosing life and commitment and hope for the future because by your example your children, grandchildren, and now great grandchildren are choosing these values too.
Because I know you well, I know you never thought you were doing anything grand, but history tells a different story. Somewhere in heaven Hebrews 11 continues to be written. I feel sure a line has already been written, “Now by faith, Gary & Patricia Milford served God and…”
Thank you for being you and you. You’re a true story of how love and commitment and stubborn grit by faith in Jesus can overcome every hardship. You are SO LOVED!
Here’s to many more years of watching God at work, weeping with joy, whispering gratitude and telling of God’s goodness for the generations!
I am an avid follower of Jesus. I have been since my early twenties when I met Him personally and received dramatic healing in my body and mind. After many years of marriage and raising sons into the teen years, I was challenged to explore the duplicity of my spoken faith followed up by fearful actions.
I received the challenge presented by both of my sons. They love me and so they dared to confront me with the truth. Chips off my proverbial block! I determined then {more than a decade ago} to overcome fear with faith that was more than words.
In my late 40's I made a decision to leave the desert wandering behind and set out to pursue the abundant life Jesus promised His disciples. I am a tentmaker {actually a reupholsterer} by day, which helps to support the call God has on my life to serve Him in my community. I thoroughly enjoy my work. Repairing and restoring throw-away furniture is a fulfilling creative outlet. More so, my Cheer House Repair and Restore business opens the door for me to interact with my community.
My passion is to walk so closely to Jesus that others want to know Him too. I love to introduce women to Him as we walk, talk, and work together hand in hand through everyday life. Nothing thrills me more than to watch someone fall so in love with Jesus through His word and conversation; learning to trust His heart and receive His great love!
I have been married to my dear man for over 30 rollercoaster years. We're simply thrilled that our latter days are more joyful and purposeful than our first. Together we have two - grown young men on their own journeys. Additionally, we share our home with 3 lively rescue pups.
I look forward to having you join me on this journey of faith...
Bold feet, humble heart
