Forthright Fixation

Debbie:

As my summer is about to really kick-off and be even busier and crazier than it’s already been, God is reminding me that my role is continually changing to one of leadership, mentoring, and serving. But He is providing Grace and Joy in the midst of what could be tough transitions.

O Bless the Lord, my soul!

Hännah:

Seeing God’s providence in the little things has been a blessing - like when the stone slipped out of my purity ring at work, but He answered my prayers and allowed me to find it behind a fridge. I’ve also been challenged to re-examine how I relate to my parents and walk in humility and submission. It’s not about what I want or how things seem - it’s my response that reveals my heart and what I believe about God.

Kaitlin:

 I’ve just come back from spending the last two weeks on vacation with my family. It was a wonderful time of relaxing and being with my cousins, aunts, and uncles. I also attended my great-grandmother’s 100th birthday party! I’m very thankful to the Lord for the good time He gave to us with all our family.

Kate:

I just returned from vacation and I’m so grateful for the time I got to spend away with my family just getting away from some of the things that normally distract us. It was truly a blessing to us all, and for that I thank God!

Kelsey:

I think God is working on strengthening me for his service. This week that has meant taking me out of my comfort zone. I’ve spent the last two weeks teaching highschoolers and at so many times I felt inadequate. Yet, I trust that he will use this experience to refine me in bunch of different areas.

Riette:

This Monday and Tuesday my brother and I were able to go visit some friends in Maryland. God was so kind in really directing our conversation to be very meaningful and intentional. I am so thankful for fellow brothers and sisters in Christ!

Stephanie:

As the date of the kids’ Art Camp I’m planning quickly approaches, I’m learning afresh the difference between praying: “Lord, please fill this need” and “Lord, fulfill Your purpose.” There’s a difference between trying to take what I think I need from God, and leaving my palms open, ready to receive whatever He wants to give me. His provision—whenever and however it comes—is always superior, and it’s worth the wait.
