About Me
Origins
I am God's very good idea. And when He was ready to share me with the world, He appointed the womb of a woman I've yet to meet. At birth, I was swaddled and cuddled and placed trustingly in the arms of the woman appointed to be my mother, Pat Sinclair McCalla. At the age of 8 years old, in a packed arena under the booming voice of the late Billy Graham, I returned to the One who gave me my start. At 8 years old I became a daughter of God. It happened in an instant and yet I am still growing up into a lived experience of this solid reality of adoption into God's family. It's been quite a journey and I am happily sharing what I learn as I go.
Purpose
I'm made for my Father's delight. Everything about me-spirit, soul and body-is made to bring Him honor. I live to honor my Dad and He is most honored when I show up in this world unashamedly bearing (working out) the proof that I am His, exercising "love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control." (Galatians 5:22 - 23, AMP). And while I am called to be this in all situations and with all people, He has made my heart particularly tender towards caregivers and children. So I happily co-labor with Him to bring relief, where, when and how I can, through building, encouraging and educating caregivers and children.
Method
I am reminded that my first call is to be delighted in by my Father. Intimacy is the great call. It is in that intimacy that the builder is built; the encourager is encouraged; and the educator is educated.
