Celebration!

Last Sunday was a beautiful day of praising God and celebrating Christ as we baptized five young women, ages 11 to 18, from our church!

 I thank God for pursuing these women, stirring in their hearts and choosing them for His Kingdom!  All praise to God that Rachel, Bun, Katie, Devon Joy and Davie were listening and trusted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior!   And, I celebrate with these young ladies as they take the next steps on their journey as Christ followers! 

My Scripture memory verse is Isaiah 12:2 which happens to be Rachel's favorite verse.  Rachel is a beautiful and precious young woman who loves the Lord and is following hard after Jesus Christ.


"Surely God is my salvation;
   I will trust and not be afraid.
The LORD, the LORD himself, is my strength and my defense;
   he has become my salvation.”  
Isaiah 12:2
NIV

As I talk to God I ask that he continue to overwhelm these precious young women with his love, mercy and grace. I pray that Rachel, Bun, Katie, Devon Joy and Davie will look to Him for their strength, their significance and their identity.  Their is no need to be afraid for God is their Keeper, their sure foundation and their salvation.  Thanking God for these new sisters in Christ!!

Would love to hear YOUR Scripture!

1 Cor 3:7 MSG

It's not the one who plants or the one who waters who is at the center of this process but God, who makes things grow.

March on, my soul, with might! We are more than conquerors through Him who loves us! Judges 5:21 and Romans 8:37

Praise the Lord for all that He's already doing in the lives of those beautiful young ladies!

They are "His workmanship". How awesome! May the Lord's hand remain with them and may each one of them drawer ever so close to Jesus...growing in their relationship with Him and with others in the body of Christ.

Blessings...
