Major's Moment
We had a hilarious family dinner this past week! My mom and dad were just sharing great stories of the past. One of the funniest moments was shared by my mom. In Hawaii, she remembers looking at night with one of her corps friends and she said, "Oh my look at all of the deer over there!" She didn't explain in words but from the way she told it she was a little nervous or scared because of the amount of deer in the darkness. But, her friend easily shattered the fear by saying something to the sound of "Where? Over there? Those are parked cars!"
Each day we come be overcome by fear of the unknown, what lies in the shadows of our thoughts... but we can rest assured that God is in all, through all, and above all!
This Sunday, join the youth as they lead the service and share about God helping us! See you then!
