Thoughts on events of the weekend and divide of our country. Pray for our country – nothing is too big or too broken for our God.

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Jeremiah 29:11
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.
– The plans He has for us always exceeds our wildest expectations because it aligns with what we are meant to be doing, not what we expect we should be doing.

Proverbs 27:1
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
– This does not forbid preparing for tomorrow, but presuming upon tomorrow

God’s Perfect Timing

On June 25th my daughter went about her normal Tuesday stuff, and Beki and I took my mom up to Cades Cove. The entire time we were up there, Beki felt stressed about not having cell service. The second that we got out of the park, and her phone got service, she got a phone call from a stranger who was with Maddie and stopped to help. She didn’t miss a call, there weren’t a bunch of voicemails…it was literally that the service bars came back, and the phone rang. Perfect timing. We rushed to UT and were there when the ambulance showed up. Perfect timing. Work was at a point that I could step away and be there the entire time. Perfect timing.

But in all of this, I’m looking for, and becoming more aware of God’s timing. My daughter has been struggling with anxiety and depression, and then, boom, throw this on top of all of that. I just have to keep remembering that there is a plan in all of this, because God’s timing for everything, no matter what, is never off.

When I think about Maddie’s accident, I can’t help but wonder “how does this align with what she is meant to be doing?” I don’t know the answer to that question, but I pray that Jesus would reveal the answer to her, because I know that she is wondering as well.

Thank you guys for all the prayers and support. I’m extremely happy to say that she’s coming home tomorrow!! 😃

This is the 50ish day follow up bootcamp from Pentecost workout that followed 50 days after Easter and the resurrection of Jesus. A life changing, world changing and eternity changing thing happened over those 50 days after the resurrection and the men of JUCO were invited to do some powerful in their lives with 50 days.

Updates as follows:

Love Shaq has been hitting up camps with his students to develop better relationships and has some professional development coming up later this summer that should equip him with some better tools for the classroom.

Fetch – Some journaling has happened but he wants to be more consistent with it.

Guardrail – Solid on pullups but injured his wrist doing hand walking. Wants to do better with encouragement and prayer.

Commission – This push has been just what I needed to kickstart the development I hope to build and everything is on track with the timeline I set.
