About two years ago, life felt tumultuous! The future was unknown. (Let's be real, even if we think we know the future, the future IS unknown... Ugly cancer diagnosis. Death by motorcycle crash. Unfortunate estranged relationships.) What was known is that God kept declaring- through friends, Bible readings, devotions- "Do not be afraid. I will never leave you or forsake you!"
On February 18, 2018, we worshipped at the church of my nephew, Pastor Tim Fraker, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Weatherford, TX.
The sermon text was from Matthew 6:10. "Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven."
Pastor Tim asked three questions:
1. What is your present need?
2. What is your past thanksgiving?
3. What is your future hope?
At the time, I had no idea that my "present need" would ultimately lead to a "past thanksgiving" because in that need came the change that brought us so many blessings in our move to Texas. Nearby family. Warmer weather. Brighter sunshine. Wildflowers galore. Fulfilling jobs. And Concordia High School, Austin, TX- a perfect fit for our youngest son- with rigorous academics, leadership development, and personal relationships with Godly mentors.
Now two years later that same verse from Matthew 6:10 "Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven" is the focus of a prayer movement for Concordia High School. Will you pray?
