Grace, mercy and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The school year is almost over! Summer is just a few weeks away! Things are so so good! I can’t help but praise God for all that He has done over the past month. He IS in control and knows exactly the perfect timing for all things.
Summer is finally here and it’s full! The Junior High youth Gathering, Senior High Youth Gathering, Alaska Mission Trip, and VBS are all around the corner. Its gonna be busy. It’s during times like this that it is so crucial to remember to rest. Summer is fun with all it’s activities but remember what really restores you…The Word. I want to share a few verses with you that would be wise to take into this summer.
Proverbs 13:25 says this,
“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.”
Psalm 120:105 says this,
“Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path.”
It’s all about Jesus. Remember He calls us to rest in Him. Enjoy the summer, enjoy the Word.
