He is the One who keeps us going . . .

 ... and He often uses our brothers and sisters, friends and family to accomplish His purposes. 

I was recently listening to a message and the pastor quoted Hebrews 10:25, "... not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." More and more I hear people talking about the things going in our world right now, and how it seems our world is getting closer and closer to the return of the Creator. 

The pastor who was sharing, reiterated this scripture in Hebrews and mentioned how when things get more and more difficult, it's going to be easier to neglect meeting together. "I'm kinda tired today." "It felt nice when we just watched the services online at home." "We don't need to go to church today." This is exactly what the Holy Spirit is referring to; that we don't give up meeting together, when we see the Day approaching, and when it becomes so easy to not meet together. 

We need each other. We need our brothers and sisters to encourage us, strengthen us, hold us up when we're falling. We need to see them face to face. To be in their presence; and them in our presence. God uses them and uses us as well when we meet together; and that's a beautiful thing. 

We thank or brothers and sisters in Christ for supporting us and blessing us with these funds for a car. Thank you so much for journeying with us in this together.
