Proverbs 3:5 tells us: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."
Jesus Christ will direct our paths if we trust Him, and believe in His church. He wants the best for us, and gave us a tremendous blessing on March 3, 2012. Remember what happened on that Saturday. We honored our God, repented from our sins, witnessed to our boys, prayed for our families, interceded for our church/country, and continued to build solidarity amongst each other. It was a blessed day, and we thank all of those that made it a tremendous success.
At the end of this e-mail we put together a very brief review of the feedback that was received (only 30% complete), and would like to ask you to send any additional insight or experiences that have taken place since March 3rd. Please send them to our e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . We want to capture those moments.
