When Jackson first started school we were living in Missouri and he attended New Covenant Academy in Springfield. It was such a blessing from God for our family as it was also where I worked. I became friends with his teacher and she shared with me how one of the other moms encouraged her. Every Friday this mom would include a handwritten letter in the daily folder being returned to class. Each time I had the privilege to read the letter, I was inspired and touched by the beauty of the words that centered on Scripture.
Jackson is now in the 5th grade in Texas, but I am sure that mom is still writing her Friday letters in Missouri. As a matter of fact, I have been the recipient of some this week. Now, I realize I shouldn't call them "Friday letters" since I have received them on Wednesday and Thursday but I just can't shake the connection of my memory.
This friend has read my blog posts and twitter/facebook updates and messaged me about my struggles with our home building process. And though our situation is real and we are following through with our legal rights, she helped me focus on the truth of God's word which says, "In this world you may [will] have trouble, take heart! I have overcome the world!" Jn 16:33
Those words are written in red...the words of Jesus...the blood of Jesus which overcame the world and His word I can confidently stand on. I won't be sitting back and watching things happen, I will be up doing a victory dance knowing that my Savior has taken care of my troubles and He will be sure to get the glory. I will not stand in His way! I will dance alongside Him...waltzing with the Spirit!
