Surrender isn't giving up. It's placing your plans into the hands of a God who sees what you cannot and trusting that His way is always shaped by perfect love.

The path may look different than you imagined, but His faithfulness never changes.

If you'd like weekly encouragement to keep trusting God through every season, we'd love to have you join our free weekly devotional. You can sign up through the link in our bio.

⚡️ Happy Feast of St. James the Great, Apostle and Martyr, and he who Jesus called “Son of Thunder”! Witness to significant events in the life of Jesus such as the raising of Jarius’ daughter, the Transfiguration, and the agony of the garden, James was a missionary of the Gospel and the first Apostle to be martyred. St. James, pray for us!

Please pass this on to your 'senior' friends (although don't ask what constitutes a senior!).
Looks like a fun event if you are free!
