Stop what you’re doing for just a moment and let this truth sink in: You are Beloved.

Not because of what you’ve accomplished, how much you’ve given, or how well you’re holding everything together, but simply because you are God’s. You are deeply and unconditionally loved by the One who created you, knows every part of your heart, and calls you His own.

Sometimes we hear words like this so often that we forget how extraordinary they really are. The God of the universe loves you. He sees you, delights in you, and walks with you through every joy, every burden, and every unknown.

Take a breath and feel it in your heart. You are loved more than you can imagine, and that love never changes.

“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” 1 John 3:1 💛

It’s VBS week at Our Savior Lutheran Church and we’re getting ready for the quest of a lifetime! At Kingdom Quest the kids will learn all about Jesus, learn fun new songs, make awesome crafts, visit the imagination station and eat some yummy snacks! The kids in these pictures told me how excited they are to come to VBS! See you there kiddos!

I had another great visit at Hays today! Those are some great kids!

Who's a good pup?? Shamgar, the Comfort Dog, has visited Hays to spread comfort and calm over the past couple of weeks. Thank you to the Hays parent who introduced us to Shamgar. We have loved his recent visits and hope to welcome him back next school year! 🐾

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health challenges are real, and they are affecting people we know and love every single day.

This is not just a statistic to us. Too often, the visit requests we receive come after a loss, when someone is no longer here because the weight of what they were carrying became too much. Those moments are heartbreaking, and they stay with us.

This is why this matters so much. We need to pray. We need to show up for each other. We need to be willing to have real conversations, not just surface-level check-ins, but honest ones where people feel safe to say they are not okay.

This month, be intentional. Reach out to someone. Ask how they are really doing and be ready to listen without trying to fix or rush the moment. Pay attention to the people around you.

And if you are struggling, even if it feels hard to say out loud, you are not the only one. There are people who care about you and want to walk with you through it.

This is not easy to talk about, but it is too important not to. 💚

“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.”
‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

It was Confirmation Day today at Our Savior Lutheran Church! These 5 young women & men professed their faith in front of the congregation today. May God continue to bless them and keep them. May His face shine upon them and give them His peace.

I am so proud of them! 😁
