My Dear Family, Friends, & Supporters,
My first blog post in over 2 years!! Ahh crazy!
Anywho, I'll try to make this as short as possible, we've all got busy lives!
A verse that God has really pressed on my heart the past week is from Hebrews:
So that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain. -HEBREWS 6:18-19
These verses have really given me a peace and hope for myself and my growth in God. I'm really trying to seek refuge in the Lord and to remember that He is my anchor in my darkest of storms.
This week we're learning on God's Character and Nature. Dissecting the different characteristics of God and what that means to us personally. The big questions that keep coming up is, God where are you in the midst of this....? And also, what comes into our minds when we think of what God means to us? Colossians 1:15-17 says: He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
I'm really trying to focus on these words. To continue to remind myself of God's goodness and love for me. How He is my creator and savior, and what that really means to me!
So meaningful, so deep! But so good and true!
Prayer Requests:
- Considering on how quickly we all dove into our lessons and ministries all my DTS friends and I are very exhausted and really need physical and emotional rest.
- Needing continual prayer for Outreach finances for myself and others in my group.
- And a praise item! We had a girl from Columbia come and join us for DTS a week late. Having struggles with VISA and finances at the beginning, we raised the exact amount to pay for her plane ticket to San Fran and now she's here with us! Praise God! Her name is Sharon.
Love you all!
Talk soon,
B
P.S. I hate mice.
