Hi, sweet friends!
'Tis the season for gratitude and reflection, and God's grace in my life is overwhelming!
To say that it's been a tough year for our family would be a gross understatement, but the Lord has remained steadfast in each trial, sovereign in uncertainty, and great in His faithfulness.
Truly, His love never fails, and I was so excited to publicly acknowledge His mercies in my life at my baptism on 21 November.
My parents had me dedicated as an infant, and I accepted Christ as my savior when I was a little girl. But my faith really became my own in college - largely because of the fellowship, accountability, and support of the Monday Girls! Baptism by immersion was - for me - an act of obedience to Christ (Matt. 28:19-20) and a symbolic, external sign of the internal change God began in me when I first came to know Him personally.
As I stood in the (freezing!) water last weekend, I thought of our devotional times at Purdue. How grateful I am that the LORD saw fit to bring us together all those years ago...and that we're still connected thru Him today!
Thanks for your friendship and encouragement across the years and miles. Mondays - and YOU - will always have a special place in my heart :).
Love y'all,
MLH
