Well, Well, Well, Just like that January is over. Time is marching on. Team meetings for these upcoming walks are happening and team selection for later walks are underway. It’s all so exciting!! I, myself, can’t wait to be a part of all the 4th day activities as well as meeting new brothers and sisters in Christ. I pray that this new year has treated you all good to this point and that each of you are working on finding new pilgrims to sponsor. What a blessing it would be to see this year’s walks all full! It’s truly been a blessing to watch God as he has been working through the nominating, team selection, and board member committees over the past several months. God has led these groups to seek out people who he has been equipping for a time such as this. Thank you all for your prayers and support of this wonderful community.
As we journey on in this new year and prepare for what lies ahead, we can become a little overwhelmed at times. Hey, it’s ok! Praise God we’re not in this alone. God is with us and so are our brothers and sisters in Christ. I’m sure our LD’s and team members have learned a little more about perseverance during this time.
There are a number of different things I could talk about in this newsletter, but what God has asked me to share with you is that He Loves US. All of Us. He has plans for us individually as well as a community. A plan for us to grow and prosper. A plan for us to help each other and hold each other accountable. A plan to show us where we can be better. A plan to help us move even closer to him than we are today. He desires Us! Not our busyness, not our excuses, not our unwillingness to serve. He wants us to grow with him, trust in him, follow him, LOVE him. I know I can do better, how about you? Where is it that God is calling you to grow with him? I pray that as we look into the busy futures we all have ahead of us that we will carve out time to Grow more in LOVE with Christ. Whether in giving, studying, praying, sacrificing time, or just being still in his presence.
I would love to see each of you at community this Thursday at Lakeridge as well as at the upcoming Walks and Chrysalis activities. Please continue to pray for each other as we journey on! May God’s Peace be with you all. NEVER GIVE UP! GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!
DeColores,
