Kids Deacon

 

 

 

WHO are you?

My name is Nichole Moore and I am married to an amazing man named Cassidy Moore.  We have been married 15 years. In that time, we have had the privilege of having three kids.   They are all just like their father, silly and loud, with amazing hearts.

WHAT do you do?

Four years ago, our youngest entered kindergarten.  I had been waiting for this time since we had two toddlers and a baby in our house.  I honestly thought I would be so content and enjoy every minute of it.  What I didn't expect was the question of "Well, now what?" that quickly started consuming my thoughts.  God had chosen me to be a mom, and now I was wandering around aimlessly while my kids were being taught and mentored by the school down the road. It was that, along with some other things, that led us to make some changes.  I am now able to co-teach my kids, alongside the incredible staff at Grace Prep Academy.  My days are spent helping my kids with school and preparing them for the road ahead.  Just recently, I have been able to come alongside our church leadership to serve as the Kids Deacon.

WHERE did you come from?

I am originally from Houston. However, I spent some of my teen years in Louisiana as well.  Cassidy and I met in College Station, married, then lived in Florida for three years.  Once we moved back to Texas, we settled in Mansfield and have been here for a little over 10 years.  

WHEN were you saved?

By the grace of God, I was raised in a christian home.  I was baptized at the age of six.  It was easy for me to understand that I needed and wanted a savior.  It wasn't until college that I realized that Jesus was not Lord of my life.  I had gladly accepted his death as payment for my sins, but hadn't surrendered my life to him.   I had been playing the part, but it wasn't sincere.  When I was 22, that all changed.  I wasn't perfect by any means, but for the first time, I was living for him and not for myself. 

HOW has the gospel impacted you recently?

The Gospel is constantly refining me.  I am so thankful that, through the Holy Spirit, God reveals things in my life that don't match up with what his word teaches.  It is a bittersweet feeling...it is hard to see the ugliness that I possess inside of me, but such a relief knowing that Christ has already died for that sin.  He knew each and every one that I would struggle with, and still willingly went to the cross.  

WHY are you at The Fields?

Cassidy and I initially came because Bryan and Joy Sloan asked us to.  Bryan had a heart for discipleship, and Mansfield was were God was leading him.  We lived in Mansfield, so it made it easy for us to come alongside and help.  I now know that God had a plan all along, like he always does.  I needed to see what church could look like.  I needed to be involved, not sitting back while others made it all happen.  I needed to have a better understanding of what discipleship looks like.  I am so thankful that God put all of this into motion and that we have had the privilege of watching him work through The Fields Church.  I can't wait to see what he continues to do in our lives, in our community, and through his ministry here.
