Prayers Please!

Hey all! Just a quick prayer request! All of the Florida Nav girls (and Valdosta State!) are heading to Gainesville for a Woman's Retreat this weekend :) Pray for:
  • A safe trip
  • Quality conversations (especially in the car!)
  • Deep and meaningful experiences for the students
  • A hunger to grow in relationship with God and for his Word


Thanks so much!! I'll have an update on the weekend posted soon!

Hope does not disappoint

A few more words from Paul from my reading through Romans:


"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."
~Romans 5:1-5


Conclusion: Justification, peace, grace, and joy through faith Christ!

Also,

suffering --> perseverance --> character --> hope

And hope does not disappoint! "Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who hope in me will not be disappointed." ~Isaiah 49:23

That's all for tonight. It's been a long week, and another long one awaits. I will post more updates soon!
