You're not alone—help is just a step away.

We saw God move in many ways. We had 16 students accept Jesus Christ as their lord and Savior for the very first time, four students rededicate their lives to Christ, 43 students went public with faith in baptism, and we had 42 students accept God’s call into ministry. We would like to thank LLR for its generosity. We believe that lives and eternities were changed at ENYC. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with LLR as we make it on earth as it is in heaven right here in the Permian Basin. Thank You!

17 students who were on scholarship either gave their lives to the Lord for the first time, responded to believers’ baptism, or took the next steps in their faith by choosing to serve. We thank God for the LLR Foundation and the passion you have to reach the STUDENTS AND FAMILIES with the gospel.

Even in the midst of the storm, There is hope.

March 28, 2019

If you asked me a year ago what I would be doing this time next year, my answer definitely wouldn’t have been correct. Of course not though, no one hopes or plans for this diagnosis. That’s why cancer is so hated because it comes in when you least expect it to and it turns your…

My experience in treatment

August 13, 2018

6 years of battling this and for 2 years everyone thought I was in recovery. I even had myself fooled for that matter. I knew I was acting in my eating disorder behaviors but I had every intention of being recovered so I truly believed I was in recovery. That’s the sad part of this,…

The Call To Healing & Freedom

August 1, 2018

“If you want a drastic change than it calls for drastic measures, something you may have to sacrifice for” Those were the words that directed my path to surrender and go to treatment for my eating disorder. The easiest but hardest decision I ever made. It was easy because of how much I knew I…

Chapter One- The Beginning Of Surrendering

December 6, 2017

I’ve dreamed of writing a book about my story ever since I started recovery. I always thought would be later in life when I was much older and much wiser. I’ve decided that the more I put off this goal for my life, the harder it will be to achieve it. So, why not start…

Have you ever felt trapped in your own mind? Like no mater what you do or who you talk to, those thoughts are always there. They don’t leave. They stay till they are heard and once they are heard, they yell. They yell to you give in. Once you give in, regret comes. This regret…

Redefining Beautiful

August 17, 2017

My mind and heart have been running on complete different speeds lately. They can’t seem to agree on anything. My mind always has ideas that my heart doesn’t seem ready for and my heart always feels emotions that my mind isn’t ready to think about. Frustrating, Right? Maybe that made zero sense to you and…

The hardest fight I’ve ever fought

May 11, 2017

A year ago, I wrote a blog titled “Road Through Recovery.” In that blog I focused on the importance of where our value and worth is found. Most of the blog I talked about the process of learning to love myself again. It was a positive blog. It was focused more on the positive side…

Brave hearts 

May 9, 2017

What does being brave mean to you? What do you define as “brave”? If I’m being honest I’ve never even thought about this but this week I’ve really started reflecting on being “brave”. I think we can all say that we want to be defined as brave. Whether we consider ourselves brave or not, we…

Guilty to forgiven 

February 26, 2017

Shame, guilt, un worthy, messy, unwanted, less, bitter, unloved, sinful. These are words that have haunted my mind the past 6 months. Words the devil has convinced me to believe. Words that hurt. Words that kill. Words that have kept me from living for Christ. Words that have kept me from my purpose. Words that…
