HE Will See You Through

(Written in January; accidentally not published until April)

Here we are, 2019! A new year is already upon us. It’s crazy to think that in just a few weeks, we will have been in Phoenix for a whole year. And what’s crazier than that, is to think that we also will have survived living in our RV for a whole year!

School at home is going well. Matt’s work is going well. In fact, the school district he works for hired another guy to do what he does (their plan was always to hire two), and the guy they hired lives on this side of town, so Matt and he are able to carpool! This gives the kids and I a chance to leave home base once in a while and participate in meet up groups. The kids are connecting with other kids and building friendships with kids from these groups, and in our community, an answer to prayer!

Arise Church continues to meet and build community with those around us. It’s such a sweet group of people. Each person is highly valued and deeply loved by God. Whether you go to a large, medium-sized, or small church, (or no church), it is good to remember that. People are not a number, nor are they a problem to be solved; they are people to be loved, as the Father loves them. Over the past few months, God has put it in my heart to be a hope-carrier—to remind people and tell them of the hope they have in Jesus. Darkness is all around us; hardship and struggles are a reality for so many people; but that is not where the story stops. God is the author and finisher of our faith. His plans are good. He is a restorer and redeemer, and no matter WHAT it is, he’s going to see you through. That’s the message I’ve been carrying with me lately, as I lead, as I meet, and as I share.

Matt and I are very hopeful this season. We are still falling short financially each month, and there are other struggles we have, but through it all, I have peace. I feel like we are right where God wants us to be. We trust in him. We are thankful for what he’s walked us through, we’re thankful right where we are, and we’re thankful for where he’s leading us.

Raising support is part of what we must do in this season, and so, although I’d rather not, I am asking for a few more families/people to partner with us for a little while. Or if you are able to give a one-time gift, we would appreciate that as well.

Checks can be sent to Arise Church with the memo “Walker Support” at the address listed below, or you can give electronically at www.arisechurchaz.org/give. Thank you so much for your help, your prayers, and your encouragement!

May you, too, be find peace from God in whatever season you are walking through. He is our hope!

Love,

The Walkers
