Celebrating 1 year in my role with OMF!
Greetings Prayer Partners!
Today marks my 1 year anniversary since I took on the role as Administrative Assistant for the Intl Facilitator for TCK Services Jennifer Tibbetts. I'm both humbled & blessed to be where I'm at with OMF International. I've grown a lot and been stretched immensily this past year. I've stepped out of my comfort zone & have embraced opportunities to partner alongside family/friends to share my Ministry as well as bringing the mission & vision of OMF to the light to people that have never heard of this Non-profit. In this current season I find myself stepping up and covering for Jennifer these days the best I know how as she is on a CLOA (Compassionate Leave of Absence) for 1 month. Please pray that God would bless her time off with much needed rest, healing & recovery. Also, pray that God would bless my role as I support her time off. Please be praying for my health as I battle a sleep disorder. It's one more diagnosis I have to learn to live with but I trust God will give me the strength to endure it. I hope you find yourself in a season of celebrations even when life is hard, full of ups and downs and often feels all over the place. I hope during Lent season we can all take time to remember God's faithfulness and His goodness even in the midst of difficult uncomfortable circumstances or situations. I stumbled upon this quote and have been clinging to it lately "What often seems like bitter trials are often blessings in disguise" Maybe you can hold on to this quote as well as you face bitter trials that don't make sense or you don't understand why things are happening the way they are. I'm trying my best to hold onto Hope and be reminded hold on, because pain does end. Everything we go through in this life is only temporary. Nothing is permanent except for our Salvation that is forever. Our circumstances in life are ever changing but God is the same yesterday, today, & forever. He is our one constant in this ever changing world we live in. Without Hope the spirit begins to give up on life but with Hope our spirits are alive & we can say it is well with our soul. Let's hold fast to the Promises of God and may let the Promises of God shine light on our problems and momentary troubles:
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen." ~2 Corinthians 4:16
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Thank you for praying, for choosing to partner with me in this Ministry, & following me on my journey.
Love & Blessings in Christ,
Victoria VanAntwerp
