MESSAGE FROM THE DESK OF TERI Mississippi Church of God Women’s Discipleship Teri Moody State WD Director It is hard to believe a year has passed since our family embarked on a new adventure and new chapter in our lives. I had peace knowing God was with us and in control. There is a picture on my wall that says, “The Will of God will not take you where the grace of God will not protect you”. It was one of the first items purchased for the new state parsonage. One of my favorite passages of scripture is Pslam 91: 1-2, “Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare of the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I am trusting Him.” When we are placed in an unpleasant situation, or life throws us a curve ball, we are to put our trust in Him. As women this can be hard to do sometimes. I have found it to be comforting to know God has my life in His hands, and I trust His will. God is with you always. He loves you and is your protection. There is nowhere you can go where He can’t find you. He is everywhere. Seek him out…search for him with your heart. Be encouraged in the fact that He wants that relationship with you and forgives you for your sins. Start today, from this moment forward, as a new day. Today is filled with new opportunities and experiences. He will protect you! Praise His glorious name for His faithfulness!!
