Dear 2013 Confirmands,
I know you are frantic and in a panic about writing your faith statements. Don't worry. You'll get it done. 750 words will come forth from your pens and finger tips. I have confidence in you that your faith is in you to be written, articulated, shared, read, and even spoken.
You are prayed for today as you re-write, erase and edit. Our Prayer Warriors remembered you by name at 10:30 am this morning. I have been praying for you each by name this week too. Your church family loves you.
Most of all, God loves you the most, the best, and the deepest! God's love is the best love!
Pray for yourselves as you write.. ask God to enter your hearts and minds! Invite God's Spirit to give life to your words and thoughts (clarity and logic are good requests too). You have knowledge (some of it new and some of it old) about our common faith in Jesus. You also have new experiences (again some new and some old) of what a faith-filled life looks like (giving, sharing, listening, healing, doing and being).
Most of all trust that you have something amazing to share- a testimony or witness for how God has moved in your life, already, in middle school!
I cannot wait to read your thoughts! Proud of you, already!
Love you and praying for you,
Your servant-pastor-friend Michelle
