Caroline is a senior this year. I've enjoyed watching her grow into this beautiful young Christian woman as her family has faced so much over the last few years. After they encountered tragedy head on, this family became a shining light and example to many around them as they clung to the Lord for guidance and strength. God threw them a curve ball, but not only did they make it through, they became stronger.
God called Joshua to succeed Moses. I can only imagine this being a scary time for Joshua. Moses had a huge daunting task that he had executed well thus far; however, God was calling him home. I can't imagine trying to fill such large shoes. This guy stood up to Pharaoh and had led the people through many terrifying uncertainties . You can only imagine the faith and courage he had in the Lord. But God gave Joshua these words, and we can still cling to them today. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
I believe this family clung to God's word during hard times. I am grateful for their example, and I pray that I will look to Christian history to understand the people of God so that I may understand the promises of our God.
