Today’s YouVersion (Bible app) verse of the day is from Psalm 46, and days, “Be still and know that I am God.” It’s such a good verse to just meditate on, isn’t it? Who is God? He is creator, provider, redeemer, healer, savior, king, friend... it doesn’t stop there, but those are just a few names to describe “who” he is. He is God. And we can rest in Him in good times and bad, easy times and hard. I am taking time today to just be still. I want to rest in his goodness; in his promises. And ask him yet again, “What is it that you want me to do, God?”
A big part of what I hear him (reiterating) telling me to do....
I have decided to pull back to sub-status at Tutor Time and stay home with my kids, since Matt just went back to work full time for the school year. I will be homeschooling my kids, and just found a Christian-based curriculum that I am really excited to implement. It will help me teach/give them solid Biblical knowledge and challenge them acidemically, at their exact level. Now I’m just looking for groups, co-ops, and/or sporting activities to get them involved in. Please pray for us as we search out our social groups and look to get more connected with our community.
We continue to serve at Arise Church in worship ministry, and are making fall plans to engage our community, reach the lost and hurting, and build up the church and our community. Summer has been slow, yet steady. Please pray for our church leadership team and core team as we put forth our efforts each week to reach people for Jesus. We are praying and hoping for growth, both “deeper and wider”, and have begun to see it, praise God!
It has been HOT lately. 110-115 for the past two weeks. That is not ideal in our camper. With the air running constantly, it still stays in the lower to mid 90s (inside)! So we have been trying to escape when possible, and swim to cool down a bit! Thankfully it cools down at night to the upper seventies.
Please consider supporting us financially, if you aren’t already. We have adjusted our budget, yet continue to have more expenses than income, and there have been some events that have set us back a bit. You can give to the “Matt and Tori Walker Support” through arisechurchaz.org/give, or consider choosing something below to cover through check.

Tori’s ER visit - $800
Car fuel pump went out - $775

Well, we have driven through and survived two monsoons! The Lord has kept us safe and we praise him for that! So glad our fuel pump didn’t go out during a storm, or during 110+ temps, (because it happened on a busy freeway and wouldn’t even start back up)!!!!
Thankful for God’s love!
Thankful for safety!
Thankful for the new friendships we have here (and the old ones)!
Thankful that God doesn’t give up on us!
Thankful for our RV and the pool at this RV park!
What can you thank God for today?
