""For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.""
Jeremiah 29:11-13

Hello sweet sisters!

           Tonight (Thursday the 18th) is a Sequela at Faith Free Lutheran Church starting at 6:30pm with fellowship. At 7:00pm Brent Councilor will be sharing about some revelations God gave him during his battle in the hospital recently.  It should be awesome!  The Sequelas I have been to recently have been a wonderful time of intimate sharing as a whole group. Please come join us if you can.:) Snacks and childcare will be available.
             Yesterday was a day of celebration for the life of Kim Beranek.  It was a beautiful service.  Pastor John's message spoke of Kim's amazing heart and her pure child-like faith.  After spending so much time studying and thinking about this very concept, I had not identified this with Kim. Hello! Yes, she had that very thing!  I was overwhelmed by her love which makes so much since now.  As Pastor John pointed out, it was because of her child-like faith, full surrender and trust in Jesus that she could love like she did.  It was so pure and genuine.  That is what becoming like a child is......being so selfless, fearless and committed to our Father that we can be His love to others. Who forgives, loves, laughs, and really lives like a child?  They have no ego to support. Kim was a beautiful example of this.  She knew she was His daughter! She will be missed. Thank you all for your prayers. A table was set up at the service displaying some of Kim's special treasures.  Among them were the palanca bags from many of the Cursillo's/Tres Dias weekends she had attended. I was especially struck by the one that was from the weekend in which she was a Rectora.  They speak for themselves.......



       

           Looking forward to seeing you all Sunday at 1:30pm for prayer or 2:00pm for the main meeting. Please let your team head know if you are unable to attend. We are only missing two team apps!  Great job team! See ya then!
His love to you all! Remember you are His precious daughters!

"14For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[37] And by him we cry, “Abba,[38] Father.” 16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory." Rom 8:14-17
