4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:4-6

What promise and truth found in this passage! Just wanted to share.
I was able to write a couple letters last night to some very special women in my life that are graduating high school. Chris and I have had the incredible opportunity to work with students on a minnistry level, but as always the Lord always blesses you way more by the people you get to connect with. We are honored to know these teenagers who are about to embark on an unbelievable new journey and it excites us to think about how God is going to use them...if only we could have the chance to do a few things again! Anyhow, my heart is overwhelmed thinking of their journeys ahead and the opportunity they have to honor Jesus or honor themselves. So often I did the selfish thing and I pray that they can learn to stand strong in Jesus throughout the journey! That is our prayer...that through the temptations, trials, and questions that they will be people that live and breath Jesus and that their life message is one that glorifies Him no matter what the cost!
