This picture is such a beautiful reminder that God doesn’t just lead us—He gives us places to rest. 🌿🤍

Psalm 23:2 paints a picture of a shepherd caring for his sheep by bringing them to places of nourishment, peace, and safety.

Sometimes God’s answer isn’t, “Keep going faster.” Sometimes it’s, “Be still. Rest. I’ve got you.”

The green pastures remind us that His provision is enough, and the peaceful scene reminds us that we don’t have to carry everything by ourselves. Even when life feels uncertain, God is still leading, providing, and taking care of us. 💛

“God is good.” Not just when everything is going right—but in every season. 🌅🙏

🐑 Shepherd Sheep TODAY! 🐑

✨ A LIFE TRANSFORMED: SAUL → PAUL ✨
📖 The Damascus Road | Acts 9

Today on our Bible journey, we made a stop in ACTS and learned all about Saul’s incredible transformation!

We started in Acts 7 with the stoning of Stephen and learned how Saul witnessed and approved of his death. At this point, Saul was determined to stop the spread of Christianity.

Then came Acts 9! 💡

Saul was traveling to Damascus with plans to arrest Christians when he had a life-changing encounter with JESUS! Saul was on a mission to stop Christianity—but Jesus had other plans!

The man who once persecuted Christians would become one of the greatest spreaders of the Gospel and heroes of our faith! Saul’s life is such a powerful reminder that no one is beyond the transforming power of Jesus! ❤️

Your children were engaged and zoned in today! I was so proud of how well they listened and participated. Everyone earned a treat from the treasure chest! 🍬

🌟 STAR STUDENT went to C**T! 🌟
Super proud of you, C**t! Keep up the great work! 👏

🐑❤️ What a great day in Shepherd Sheep!

📖✨ Sunday School Update! ✨📖

Today we learned about Abram and what it means to have faith in God! ❤️

We talked about how God asked Abram to leave his home and go to a place that God would show him—even though Abram didn’t know exactly where he was going. Abram trusted God, obeyed Him, and went! 🙏🏼

We even played a little faith game! 👀 I had the kids close their eyes while I guided them around the room. They had to trust me to lead them safely, even though they couldn’t see where they were going. It was a fun way to help them understand what it means to have faith and trust God even when we can’t see what’s ahead! ❤️

We also talked about the special promises God made to Abram and how one of those promises ultimately points us to Jesus! ✝️

💡 Big takeaway: We can trust God just like Abram did. We may not always know where He is leading us, but God always keeps His promises, and we can have faith in Him! 🙏🏼

So proud of these little ones and how much they’re learning each week! 🥰📖✨
