Recently God has been leading me to scripture that reminds me where to focus and fix my eyes. Ironically? We are all supposed to be fixing our eyes on what is impossible to see. (2 Corinthians 4:7-16)
Hey Beloved! Stop looking at what is visible and instead fix your gaze on what isn't see-able. I am incredibly
challenged by this.
So my encouragement for us all today is that you join me in looking solidly toward what can't be seen. There is so much beauty in what we'll find as we look beyond the physical that is right in front of us, and instead focus on all that is real, eternal, and perfect.
News for the Week
- Our 18-year old son, Justus, just left for a 320+ mile bike ride with three other guys through Nebraska to raise funds for our 13-year old friend Mason who is battling cancer. I am incredibly proud of Justus and ask for your prayers of protection and provision.
- Foster care is going well with our
4-year old Peanut. Without a doubt his favorite thing about living in our house is that there are four amazing big boys here to have fun with. But as of late, his favorite, favorite person has become one of the girlfriends that frequents our house. Asked approximately 480 times each day: "Where's Yo-yen (Lauren)?" Sorry, Elias. There's another man head over heals for your girl.
- Elias (16) and Malachi (13) participated in a 30 hour
