March Devotional – “Maybe you’re not where you thought you’d be at your age..maybe you’re walking through a heartache you never thought would be your reality…maybe your dreams have been marked by deep disappointment or loss…Friend, whatever disappointment you are walking in today will not be the end of your story! When life is not what you expected and you don’t know how to navigate your current reality, you can cling to these Truths from God’s Word as an anchor and hope to your weary soul: When life doesn’t look like I thought it would, God is still good and He’s not finished with me yet (Jeremiah 29:11). When l think I’ll never recover, God redeems it all, He won’t waste a thing (Romans 8:28). When I’m fearful and tempted to give up on the future, God will take my hand and give me the strength to trust Him again (Isaiah 41:10)."

Have a wonderful month & hope to see you in Amish Country! Karen Bramlish Women’s Ministry Leader
