Dear Friends,

Can you believe it's fall already? Where has the time gone? It seems as though just yesterday we were bringing in the new year, celebrating all of our hopes and plans for 2015. 

Undoubtedly this year has brought some surprises, some joys, some tears - some successes and maybe a few challenges, tests or trials.

It's in those tough times when we are the most vulnerable - and sometimes we feel most alone or isolated. And we wonder if God is really with us, if He hears our cries for help and direction.

No matter when friends are fleeting, when fears are increasing, finances decreasing, and relationships failing remember Jesus loves you now, always...for all Eternity.

No matter what it looks like on the outside or in the world, we urge you to trust His plans to uphold you, to bless you and give you a hope and a future. He loves us and always delivers on His promises. 

Tell someone close to you today that you love them. Be that example of the love that God has for us.

Love on purpose for the purpose of LOVE!

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV)

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails.
