Happy May, all! As spring is fully underway and you begin looking ahead to summer, we pray you will be reminded of the goodness and faithfulness of God. This time of year always makes me think of the beauty of new life in Him. It also reminds me of the reality of progressive and continual growth. What starts as a seemingly barren branch begins to sprout buds, which blossom and grow into beautiful and fragrant blooms. What an incredible image of our life in Christ. What was once dead comes to life and gradually grows, continually pointing to our faithful God and causing others to give Him praise.

Your life might feel like spring right now as you rejoice in God doing new things, or perhaps like summer or autumn as you see fruit and collect a harvest, or maybe more like winter as you feel barren. Know that in whatever season this newsletter finds you, God is faithful and you can depend fully on Him. May you rest in His love, deeply secure in the foundation of Christ, strengthened by the Holy Spirit, persistent in hope, and filled with peace and joy beyond understanding.  

Thank you for so generously sharing of yourselves with us and questioners. The way our Answer Team loves God and others is readily apparent in every response, and it always causes me joy. May God give each of you great delight in Himself as you continue to seek Him, serve Him, rejoice in His truth, and share His love and truth with others. May He meet you personally and profoundly in whatever season of life you currently find yourself, showing you His faithfulness, kindness, and love in ways that give your soul deep rest and refreshment. May you know how greatly loved you are in Christ. Know that we appreciate you and pray for you!
