Wow! It has been a long time since my last post. Summer was jammed with all kinds of things. But know this for certain....even though I haven't posted, you girls were never far from my thoughts and always in my prayers every day!
I assume most of you are back in the school routine. I want to encourage each of you to continue to follow the way of the cross as you make choices daily. I know it takes courage and if you are anything like me, I feel like the cowardly lion in OZ. But guess what? Your Heavenly Father is the creator of the universe! Don't you think that means that he created courage as well? It's yours for the asking. Also to grow strong and stay strong you have to eat. For a christian, the most healthy diet is God's Word, the Bible. If you are feeding on it daily, it will strengthen you and the Holy Spirit will bring it to mind when you need it most!
Lastly, I want to encourage you to team up with another girl who shares your belief in Christ as a prayer partner/sister. Even if you can't get together because she is someone you met at camp, there's email, texting, phone calls and Facebook. You need a person to share your ups and downs with. Someone to encourage you, pray for you, cry with you, laugh with you, and to celebrate all the big and small stuff with. Mrs. Joy is that person for me and we do all of those things together! I truly feel like she is my sister as much as my flesh and blood sisters are.
I have to run, but let me leave you with this thought:
1 Thessalonians 5:10-11 (New International Version)
10He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. 11Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
I'll be praying for!
