Courage.

 (New prints available here.
100% of proceeds go to Hope4Sudan.)

The first team left for Sudan last week, covered in prayer, trusting in the Lord, rejoicing that He provides more than we could we could ever imagine.
We serve a huge God.

He commands us to be strong and courageous in all circumstances.
He promises that He will be with us wherever we go.

All circumstances.  Wherever.

I am being stretched in this very promise.

We are in a season of change.  Change is not my favorite.

Thankfully God knows so much more than I do.  He always shows up.  He always cares for me.  He always gives me exactly what I need when I need it.

Our church is starting this study and it is ruining me in the best possible way.
It is exactly what I need.

I am clinging to Joshua 1:9.

Believing that God is with me wherever I go.

Because He is.

Always.

Join me in praying for the Sudan team as they bring food and hope to a desperate situation.

I will leave you with a song that has been stuck on repeat in my headphones, mind, and heart.

    thank you julie.
    it's crazy that they are really there. that God really provided. and that he is working something big right this very second.

    but really, not that crazy. God is GOD after all.
    just crazy for my human brain.

    I love you. And I love that your fonts helped get them there. Thank you. And I can't wait to see what God does in this season with your family. Because I think it's going to be huge.

    Thank you Julie for providing a small way for me to help out. I love your prints and the fact that the purchase is helping is such a blessing. Our God is an awesome God and I am so thankful to be able to connect with you and your good works because of my beautiful daughter, Heather G. of Glitter and Gloss. God's love and blessing to you and yours always. Teri xoxo....

    Beautiful song to start the day with. Have you tried the "Crazy Noise" cd by Hillsong Kids? R-A-D. Love kids music that is even fun for grown-ups to sing along with!

    Have a happy day!

    Thanks for this post, word and song! This is my life verse since I was about 10 year old! Learned it at church camp one summer and it's "stuck" ever since. Love ya girl!
