Hey sistas & brothers,

I just feel compelled to send out a brief email to encourage you all.  I want you to know that I believe God has good things in store for you and your life.  I believe God does have a plan for you... and it is good.

 
You may be really stressed out this week, but take a few moments right now and remember...
 
...that God said you are the apple of Her eye...
...that God sings over you...
...that God delights in you...
 
And most of all, as we go through the season of Lent, rememember that God loves you so much and wanted you to know that love at any cost... so much so that Jesus came and lived & breathed that love and eventually suffered & died for us.
 
Take a moment and watch this video called "rain."  It plays in a small box, but if you right click on it and click "zoom" and "full screen," you'll get the full effect.
