Dear Friends,
Having an attitude of gratitude can get you through even the most difficult times. We’ve all faced them from time to time. Some of you may be in the midst of a difficulty right now. Keep the faith and know that you are not alone! God is working out His purpose in every detail of your life, whether pleasant or not. Give thanks knowing you are not alone. I also love the fact that God, and only God, can take our sin and turn it into good through His grace. That’s love and forgiveness in its purest form. So, rejoice and be glad. Tell of His amazing love and grace in your life. If you’re wondering why you are chosen, read the last line of the last Bible verse. Look for opportunities to tell of His greatness, sing his praises and play instruments of praise. Tonight would be a good night for it! See you in rehearsal friends. Peace, Scott

Trust Me In Every Detail Of Your Life. Nothing is random in My kingdom. Everything that happens fits into a pattern for good, to those who love Me.

Even your mistakes and sins can be recycled into something good, through My transforming grace.
