Back in Blue Earth, MN

I get it’s been way too long since I posted. I went through many towns and saw many things, and Midland, SD is where I will call home after my contract is up at the end of June. I have already started rooting myself there.

I started with working out a partnership with Laurie Cox, at the Stroppel Hotel, I’m not an investor, I’m not a “worker”, I am on the board of The Besides the Healing Waters Charter for transitional housing and healing in Midland, SD. I talked with Laurie over the last couple of weeks and she understands I will be nomadic this year, she gets I will come and go, and she gets I have another business to build. She is a powerhouse of information, knowledge about 501c3’s, and she is expansive with her vision.

I prayed last year everyday I was in my truck for work. This was the blessing of this type of job. I’ll say it again, it was a prayer box, it was a prayer closet, it was where all the dreams, visions, and thoughts started and planted. It where I saw the vision of going home to take care of my mom, it’s where I saw a change for someone in my world 4 years out; which was confirmed in a huge way by the end of Jan. 2021, it’s where I processed out everything I was receiving from God. This process got me to a place of peace, happiness, and knowing what my next steps were.

Then one day there is was, the peak, at that moment, of what I would eventually do or provide, or be a part of: I eventually will have a working farm, refuge, support center for transitional or nomadic people. Men and women, abused, recovering, looking for spiritual healing, and other transitional situations. I saw it, I smelled it, I could taste the food I would provide there, I saw people on the land, tending to it, the smiles, the struggles that others need to heal from or release, the Bible classes and “churching” I would be doing with many others; including family members.

This was what I saw a year ago, this is what I pin point directed my path to, and in God’s time, God’s will, His way….I will build the knowledge, practice, and dedication to providing this one day. I will come under Laurie and Wallace’s wings and learn, be of service, live there, and immerse myself into the Stroppel Hotel Business, the Besides the Healing Waters Charter and Transitional Housing, and into the small town of Midland, South Dakota.

I have no idea where I’ll go from here, and stay tuned, for I am on a path that I can only explain as a God given path. I could have never made this life up, even if I tried.

I am a woman of God, mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and a Life Coach. I recently started this path and completed my certification in September of 2020. Since then I have been living a life I love within four major quadrants of my life; Health, Vocari (vocation), Time/Money/Freedom, and Relationships; All of these being worked on daily in small action items and tons of prayer. I spent some time between October of 2020 to March of 2021 in my hometown of Champaign, IL and witnessed God's word and work on the healing of my mother after a very invasive procedure. This led me to Midland, SD and found The Stroppel Hotel and Hot Baths where God, Healing, and overall family wellness is starting to kick off for many others to come. In collaboration with the hotel, Christian Life Coaching, and Sustainable Home Life there will be services and support with healing and structures for families of any background. Follow me for more to come!
