Moments Like These

A couple weeks ago, I heard the very sobering message that a man by the name of Kenny passed away due to a motorcycle accident. He was instantly gone, and his wife was left behind... nine months pregnant. My family didn't personally know Kenny or Paige, but many of our friends did. Needless to say, our hearts were broken for this family. Paige had their first baby, a little boy named Liam, just days after Kenny passed away.

It's been amazing to see the body of Christ come together to support Paige and her son by starting fundraisers and such to raise support for them.
Every little bit adds up, so if you can, please donate here: Pellanda-Nair Family Fund
It's also our responsibility as brothers and sisters in Christ to keep this family in our prayers.
Pray for peace, comfort, strength, and added faith.

Moments like these are hard to understand... They can stir up confusion, but they can also stir up faith if we press in more instead of wanting to crumble and give up.


I know that God will never leave nor forsake us. He promises us so.
I know that He is always good.
I know that His plans are better than ours.

And I believe that.

Fall Afresh


First, click this link, and watch the video.

Fall Afresh~Bethel Music ft. Jeremy Riddle

I don't know about you, but this song puts me at complete ease despite whatever is going on; it fills my heart with joy.
I love the fellowship this video displays. God is such a good God for giving us beautiful people to do life with. He created us with the intention of us being in relationship with Him and others so that we never have to feel alone. Isn't that so good?
My prayer today is that the Holy Spirit would fall afresh on each of us. That today wouldn't just be another day. That He would re-ignite incredible, fiery passion within us to know Him more and lead others to do the same. Time to show extraordinary love. Build new relationships. Talk to people. Share what Jesus is doing in your heart and the lessons you're learning.
You never know how much what you say impacts other people... It might even change their life.
