3. Every Calling Has a Story
Every Calling has a Story… Danny Nicholson
As an adopted child, God rescued and allowed me to learn many lessons, experience opportunities of growth and understanding, and meet a wide variety of people to equip me to come full circle and pour my life history into a full and glorious future at Connie Maxwell. A future that gives vulnerable children and families a home just like God gave me on February 26, 1962.
The intersection of mine and Connie Maxwell’s history unfolded at a time when both our past experiences could construct the foundation of God’s future dreams for vulnerable children and families. The evolution of this strategic plan, “A Decade of Dreams,” reveals the perfect timing, divine orchestration, and providential content of a God who expresses His intimacy in ways unimaginable.
In fact, this is more than a strategic plan; this is a living, breathing testimony of God’s never-ending pursuit and love for you, me, and all vulnerable children who need a loving home.
Every calling does have a story. The following documentation unveils a life cycle of God weaving His eternal fabric through the timeline, evolution, and development of Connie Maxwell’s strategic plan. But more importantly, the testimony of so many surrendered and willing servants who have given their lives to continue the legacy of Dr. Jamison, Dr. Smith, and many others in restoring the faith, family, and future of vulnerable children and families.

1 John 4:9-10
9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
James 1:27
27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
Hebrews 12:1-2
12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
