Its been over a month since I last wrote anything here, but much has taken place. Melissa Line, my long-time Director of Sunday & Summer programs, resigned after 15 years on staff at Hebron, accepting a position at a crisis children's shelter in Dahlonega. I knew this day would eventually come, since she has lived up there for almost 3 years now, and has a real big heart for kids in crisis. It's hard adjusting to life in the Children's Ministry without her, as she was so integral to everything we do. Not only that, she has been a great friend and little sister in Christ to me. We'll all miss her very much.
Now I face uncertainty in a few areas of my life and work, wondering what the future holds. Yet I know who holds the future, and I found comfort this morning in a passage from the Bible I happened upon-

23 The LORD makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him;
24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,
for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

25 I was young and now I am old,
yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.
26 They are always generous and lend freely;
their children will be a blessing. -Psalm 37:23-26

Through all of life's twists and turns, ups and downs, as long as I am walking with God, I am safe. He establishes me, He upholds me, He will not forsake me.
I'm in good hands.
