Dear friends,
We’re presently meeting Him in Jeremiah 29, Luke 7, Psalm 23. Dig deeper into these chapters with us. We’ve heard two clear things.
- Grounded in Jer 29, “Ask Me to help you seek Me with all Your heart. I will help you walk with Me in My Peace.” Ask daily. Then do it.
- Straight from Ps 23, “Let My rod and My staff be a comfort to you.” Crucial counsel. Trust Your corrective, protective, guiding, rescuing Shepherd in the wild days ahead. He’s knows what’s coming and how He wants to guide you through it.
Seek Him personally in daily praise, thanks, prayer and scripture. Seek Him regularly in group worship, prayer, witness, and accountable support with a few other trusted believers. He will give you peace and permission what to do and speak as things unfold. If you seek Him wholeheartedly (give Him all the praise, thanks, faith, hope, love, pain, fear, and sin in your heart), He will make you purehearted—overflowing with His guidance and power in your prayers, witness, family, and friendships.

We’re grateful Kim’s progressed to the strength building phase of physical therapy. Yet, this sometimes means more pain. We so appreciate your continued prayers! We are seeking Him wholeheartedly to discern His pacing. Life is sometimes much more difficult, personally and globally, than we want. But His will, not ours, be done!
