TikvahBOGPOST Sept 17, 2021

The last few weeks have been a bit of a “trip”!! Falls tend to be some of my busiest times of the year. We also observed Yom Kippur yesterday and I was reminded of the gratitude I feel for each one of you, for your support of the work we are doing, and your excitement for projects like The Last Colony.

While the past few years have been amazingly difficult and the future is showing no sign of letting up, my hope with each one of you is you never let your circumstance define you but that you define your own circumstances.

Psalm 56:4-14

4 When I am afraid, I trust in You, 5 in God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I am not afraid; what can mortals do to me? 6 All day long they cause me grief in my affairs, they plan only evil against me. 7 They plot, they lie in ambush; they watch my every move, hoping for my death. 8 Cast them out for their evil; subdue peoples in Your anger, O God. 9 You keep count of my wanderings; put my tears into Your flask, into Your record. 10 Then my enemies will retreat when I call on You; this I know, that God is for me. 11 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, 12 in God I trust; I am not afraid; what can man do to me? 13 I must pay my vows to You, O God; I will render thank offerings to You. 14 For You have saved me from death, my foot from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
