Have you ever dreamed of defying gravity, seeing the galaxy, exploring the stars? Astronauts are now going farther from Earth into space than ever before. I can’t fathom all that goes into a moon mission. And the amount of faith it takes to be willing to go on such a journey?

Wow.

Big picture: I trust in God. But there are many times I realize I’ve been leaning too much on my own understanding. It’s like I’m constantly trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces. Letting go, giving it to God and allowing Him the control vs. gripping too tightly on our own takes faith. But He is making our paths straight. Even when things don’t fit in the neat boxes we’ve set up, even when the timeline is different than we expected, even when the outcome doesn’t look how we anticipated, He is at work!

Recently, things didn’t go quite as we’d planned. During Shareathon, over a thousand friends gave generously and, through Second Harvest, those gifts also helped provide over 8,500 meals to our community! We are SO grateful!

As for the budgeted need for LifeSongs, however, we came up about $20,000 short. This is one of those opportunities for us to lean on God, trusting He will provide. Would you pray for God to meet these needs? If you’d like to help, your gift can reach more people like Jessica.

She says, “I have listened to LifeSongs my whole life. It has brought me comfort when nothing else could. I’m learning to rely on HIM instead of myself. I need that connection with him. Life can be tough, but you truly make a difference. I hope this ministry continues to grow and touch others out there who need it. (We ALL do).”

God is using your giving to LifeSongs to provide comfort and connection for Jessica, and hope and encouragement for so many more. Our mission may not be to the moon, but you are joining us in something even greater: Sharing the love of Jesus. Thank you!
