We're In

“The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:8. These are the words of truth Moses spoke to Joshua before he became the new leader of the Israelites. These are also the words that God continues to speak lovingly to my heart as I am on this new journey. Along this path there have been and still are many unknowns in my life, which can be hard and tempting to worry about, but I am finding that in the times where there are lots of unknowns in my life, I am reminded all the more of the known truths of God. I can look back on this journey so far and see how God has been with me every step and extravagantly blessed me, not just with circumstances, but with the people in my life.
                Along this path, God has brought people just at the right time into my life that are walking beside me, partnering with me in this ministry, and encouraging me in so many ways.  The words, “We’re In,” are still echoing in my mind since a wonderfully encouraging sister-in-Christ, and I presented a challenge for my home church family to take this journey with me, through prayer and financially. Since that time many absolutely incredible people have said, “We’re In,” even if they don’t have a lot to give financially, their support, encouragement, and willingness to help have been priceless.  I know that I cannot do all of this on my own, but thankfully God promises I never have to!
Psalm 73:23, "Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand."
Matthew 28:20b, "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
