God’s timing may frustrate your schedule, but it will never frustrate His purpose.

We often want God to work according to our timeline.

We want the answer now.
The door to open now.
The relationship to change now.
The breakthrough to come now.

But God is not limited by our deadlines.
Sometimes the delay is preparing you.
Sometimes it is protecting you.
Sometimes God is working on things you cannot yet see.
And sometimes what feels like a delay is actually divine alignment.

Joseph had a promise long before he saw its fulfillment.
Abraham waited for what God had promised.
David was anointed king long before he sat on the throne.

Waiting does not mean God has forgotten you.

His timing may not fit your schedule, but His purpose is never late.

“For the vision awaits an appointed time… Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come.” — Habakkuk 2:3

So while you wait, don’t waste the season.

Prepare. Pray. Grow. Obey. Trust.

You may not understand the timing, but you can trust the One who holds it.

God’s timing may frustrate your schedule, but it will never frustrate His purpose. 🌱

Thank You Jesus for such a great fellowship time yesterday at church!

Kids running around having fun getting face painted, laughter and great conversation about how good church service was to seeing new faces joining us for the first time!
Can we talk about the food that was made and was so tasty and ate up by all!

Many were talking about Thanksgiving and we have a couple questions for you all.
What is your favorite dish to prepare for Thanksgiving? Also, what is your favorite thing to eat for Thanksgiving?

Thank you to all who prepared a dish yesterday and special Thanks to all who helped set up, face paint, and clean up. You do not go unnoticed.

If you have any pics from yesterday's festivities please drop below in comments so everyone can see.

Thank you all!

Abiding in Christ is more than praying occasionally or attending church regularly. It is remaining connected to Jesus until His life begins to shape your life. Stay in His Word. Depend on His grace. Follow His Spirit. Remain in His love. The branch does not produce fruit by struggling—it produces fruit by remaining connected to the Vine.
Amen and Amen

Sometimes we confuse strength with struggle.

We keep forcing the relationship.
Forcing the opportunity.
Forcing the timing.
Forcing the outcome.
Forcing ourselves to hold onto something God may be asking us to release.

But not everything that requires effort requires force.

There is a difference between persevering in obedience and fighting to keep something God is removing.

Sometimes surrender is not giving up.
Sometimes surrender is finally trusting God enough to stop forcing what He never asked you to carry.

Ask yourself:
Am I carrying this because God gave it to me or because I’m afraid to let it go?

You don’t have to carry what God never asked you to carry.
Release it. Trust Him. Follow His leading.

Growth starts beneath the surface.

Before there is fruit, there must be roots.
Before there is strength, there must be foundation.
Before there is visible growth, there must be a hidden relationship with God.

It’s easy to focus on what people can see: your progress, your purpose, your achievements, your influence. But what sustains you when life gets difficult is what you’ve built beneath the surface.

Stay rooted in prayer.
Stay rooted in Scripture.
Stay rooted in obedience.
Stay rooted in God’s presence.

Because the deeper your roots, the stronger you can stand when the winds come.

You cannot continually draw strength from a God you rarely spend time with.

Don’t just pursue growth. Pursue the Root.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD… He is like a tree planted by water…” — Jeremiah 17:7–8

Stay rooted. Stay grounded. Keep growing. 🌱

There's a place to take your anger before you take it anywhere else. Not to a text thread. Not to a confrontation. To your knees, where the only One listening is the One who can actually do something about it.

Speaking the truth in love won’t always make you popular. Some people may misunderstand you, reject your words, or even dislike you for saying what they don’t want to hear.

But love doesn’t always say what is comfortable. Sometimes, love warns. Sometimes, love confronts. Sometimes, love speaks the truth even when it costs you.
We are not called to condemn people, but neither are we called to stay silent when eternity is at stake.

Speak the truth with grace. Speak it with humility. Speak it with love.
Because one day, they may understand why you cared enough to say it.
