How God is Working in my Youth Group

You’d think God wouldn’t pay much attention to a small youth group on the edge of a country town, full of middle schoolers.

But not so;)

What I Learned From My Principal

I’m really nervous about graduating. But my principal taught me something that will stick with me over the next six weeks—and the rest of my life.

For the Overwhelmed:

I’m learning: even if I cause the greatest disappointment, God won’t stop loving me. I’m learning mistakes show how much I need Christ, not how much I need to fix. And I’m learning that Christ already fixed it for me.

How to Rest Well

Whether you’re stuck inside waiting out the storm or off somewhere hot and sunny, learn how to rest well this weekend—starting with the very foundation of rest in Christ.

I think it’s normal to wish you were dating someone when you’re single, and I’ve had that feeling before, but that’s not necessarily what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the longing to share Christmas with the one, my future husband, wishing I could meet him sooner. And if you feel the same, I want to encourage you this morning.
