Growing in God’s Garden of Victory
By Lu Hale

The season is upon us. No truer words have been spoken. In the natural and
in the supernatural, things are moving at a fast pace. Being a gardener is a great
way to slow things down. When you are pulling weeds, an afternoon can seem
like an eternity! These types of mindless tasks open the mind to pay attention
to our own untilled fields in the spiritual realm. Am I hearing from the Lord?
Do I fully trust Him? Is my spirit willing and obedient to His voice? Do I notice
the small cues and hints of the needs around me? Could I do more to encourage growth in my sphere of influence? What is
holding me back from greater intimacy with Him and my loved ones?
God’s Creation:
Unique by Design

ask Diane if she would present Unique by Design each
Friday for the fall semester. She said, “Yes”! What a
blessing she was to each student. The message she gave
them was “You are not atypical. God made you and
your life matters. It matters to the Lord and it should
matter to you!” The focus was that Christ in you makes
all the difference. While taking the time to help each
student identify their gifts, show how their gifts are enhanced, how their skills develop, and how their talents
are used to glorify God who made them unique, she
was able to open great opportunities for each student.
