I always say, “It takes community to do recovery.”

Truth is — it takes community to do life.

And I’m so grateful for mine. 🙌

Before my recent back surgery, I’d been praying that through it all I’d grow stronger — mentally, physically, and spiritually. Everything we go through has purpose… and I want the full benefit of it. 💪

At our FWC board meeting the other night, Pastor Bryce opened in prayer — as he always does. When he prayed for me, he said something that hit deep:

“God, I thank You that after this surgery, Tim is not just returning to normal — he’s returning to better. He’s going to be so much better!”

That word grabbed hold of my spirit. It’s exactly what I’ve been believing and declaring — and that night, God confirmed it.

Here’s what I’m reminded of:

Without prayer, there’s no hope.

Without prayer, there’s no power.

Prayer is the foundation of all success.

We pray because we believe. 🙏

Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint.”

Strength for Every Part of Us

🧠 Mental strength: Hope anchors the mind in peace.

💪 Physical strength: God renews endurance.

🕊️ Spiritual strength: His power lifts us higher.

I’m not coming back the same — I’m coming back better.
