some thoughts from Chris

Over the past couple of months God has really been pressing into me not to worry about the thoughts of others.  I really rely on how people look at me, and also how they see me as a person.  God has really been working on my heart to rely on him and know that he is faithful and wonderful.  It is beautiful when you come to that realization that God has it and that he is ultimate.

One other thing that I have been wrestling with is not worrying about tomorrow.  I really have been resting in the verse in Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”  This is such a great verse to look at when worry rears its ugly head.   This verse also is a great reminder that you might not have tomorrow, so you should take advantage of the day you have and use it to Gods glory.

I am really excited about the semester ahead with these students and in some way sharing with them what God has been doing in my life.  Maybe a student is going through the same things I had been going through and God can use what has happened in my life to affect there’s.

God Bless,

Chris Newby
