A Little Encouragement


Dear sweet friends!

Oh how I can hardly believe that we are already half way through September. I have been putting off blogging for quite some time because
1.) Sometimes life gets in the way of life.
2.) I have been busy busy busy.
3.) I have been lost for words.
Well, God has truly placed it on my heart to get on here and say a few things. I do not want to go off on a huge tangent because I know that free time is hard to come by for most and most likely it will be spent sleeping or laying flat on your back trying to catch your breath.

Over the past two weeks, weekend and last night it has been apparent that September has not only come with the hint of fall in the air but also a gust of stress. Stress is looming around the classrooms, our house, Phi Lamb meetings and in most conversations. Girls hearts are breaking, eyes are filling with tears, anxiety levels are rising and sleep is decreasing for most. Although I am not capable of completely taking away the pain that anyone is feeling, I can give a few words of encouragement from a Mighty God. So friends please know that I am diligently praying for you. You are in my thoughts through your tests, through your social organization meetings, while you struggle with conflicts at home or work and please know that you are not alone and you don't have to go through these long days without a friend. Someone is praying for you, if not multiple people. You are loved.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation."

Isaiah 12:2

Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Psalm 61:1-2
