John 14:27 – Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid
Today, I had planned to share with all of you who didn’t know that our lease was not renewed. Our ministry will continue, but our current location’s doors will be closed.
When I was advised about the non-renewal, I was upset because I had been having conversations with the lease company since June and was led to believe that they were going to renew the space for our first responder families–especially since a few of us had met with the property representatives. But, in the 11th hour, they told us they needed the space back. Processing this and the prospect of a move has left me with moments of ups and downs, particularly, since we do not have a new home yet. But God is so good that of all the verses that could have been shared today, the verse above is today’s verse of the day. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” It is just a precious reminder that He is in control.
This weekend starting at 9 am we will begin the process of emptying our location into two large containers until we find a permanent home. I ask that you please keep us in prayer as the market doesn’t seem to be too friendly towards ministries. If you are able to help us load things, even for an hour, it would be an enormous help. We have a lot of stuff and only have the weekend to do it all.
I am so sorry to share this with all of you. We have tried our best, but this is when we have to step onto the water, like Peter, and trust that He will not allow us to sink. It’s hard, I’m in it, but beautiful reminders like today’s verse remind me that He is with me in this process. I’m also grateful for all the text messages, calls, and words of encouragement I’ve received already. It is another beautiful reminder of the love of Christ through you.
PS: If you do come out and have any tools, dollies, or hand carts, please bring them.
I hope to see you there. Thank you!
Humbled to serve,
