John 6:9 "Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?"
Little is Much when God is in it!
My training through freedom, Flo Hubbs “Little is Much”
In 1993 when my same sex relationship of 9 years ended, and the church closed, I cried out to God to show me his real love. In 94 while sitting in the back row of A Missionary Church, I began to ask God to search my heart & create in me a clean heart.
After sitting in the back row for a year allowing God to work on my heart .I responded to the request to help with the Pioneer Club program. I started out as one of the leaders. From 1994-2000 I served as the Pioneer Club Director. For three seasons I was the VBS Director. In 2004 I began volunteering with Youth For Christ. Sharing the Gospel of Jesus to kids who often look at life with no hope. God continues to show his love, and mercy as I led in sharing the love of Jesus with some of these kids.
Stepping into a different ministry is also about trusting God with the plans of the future.
I was thinking of Jabez 1 Ch 4:10 “Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, ‘Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request. I had been praying this prayer in 2003. I think back to 2004 when I first felt led by God to stand up and share what He has done in my life. How he delivered me from a 14-year walk of a gay lifestyle. I remember telling a friend that I thought I was to tell Peoria that change is possible, but I was not sure how to do that. I began getting involved in other prayer circles; knowing that my small group was good, but more people praying would be better. Shortly afterwards the Pastor was speaking on sexual sins. I went to him and told him’ God wants me to stand up and share my testimony. ” Six months later he had me share my testimony again, at the time we were airing on WPEO AM. In sharing how change is possible through God’s love, a few parents who have adult children struggling with same sex attractions had contacted me.
I had a small part in the conference for Related Leaders with the speakers from Focus on the Family ‘ Melissa Fryrear & Mike Haley’: Homosexuality and the Church: How Should the Church Respond?” March 12, 2005 at Riverside Community Church. I had shared my testimony with the Associate Pastor of the First United Methodist Church. When I told her I had contacted the speakers from Focus on the Family, but didn’t have the resources to put the training together. She was working with Riverside Community Church on a leaders training, and they contacted Melissa Fryrear & Mike Haley. Riverside Community Church called me to see if I would share my story with the Peoria Journal Star. Michael Miller interviewed me prior to the Related Leader Conference.
In November I had the opportunity to join several hundred others in the prayerful rally at Springfield to also ask our senators to support “ Marriage, One Man & One Woman”
