Encouragement to be Faithful

Paul's letter to Timothy,

"For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, who has saved us and called us to a holy life - not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel! (The exclamation mark shows my excitement at this point, it's really just a period in the passage.) ....That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day."

If you are reading this, say Bob Loblaw out loud.

I hope you laughed, it's the best medicine (=

Pray!

I'm so filled with excitement for STEM these days. I'm not even going overseas this summer! I still am feeling such an urgency to pray for them as well as our one-year missionaries and the long-term missionaries all over the world. Please pray for them! And if you are not participating in STEM this year, who said that is the only opportunity for missions? (=

peace& love
