A New Season

The winds of change are blowing in the lives of the Little's. Jess resigned as Pastor of First Baptist Church in Claude effective the last day of July. We are uncertain as to what the future holds for us but are confident that our sovereign God has a plan for our lives and purpose for all that happens. We are staying in Claude for the time being and are currently looking for a house to rent and Jess is looking for a job until God makes clear what the next chapter of our lives and ministry will look like.

We have found great confidence and peace from Proverbs 3:5-8; "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all you ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. Do not be wise in our own eyes, fear the Lord and depart from evil. I will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones." And the great promise of Romans 8:28 strengthens our faith daily; "God causes all things to work together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purposes."

School starts in a little over a week for Donna and the girls return to school the last week of August. We enjoy our summers so much and being together that we dread the start of school. But it will come and we will adjust and all will be fine. This is a big year for Morgan as she will be a freshman. All our girls are growing into fine young women who love the Lord, love others, honor their parents and are a joy to be around--and for that we are grateful to God!
