Operation Wingman Reflections

Over Labor Day weekend, a group of students traveled to Gulf Shores for "Operation Wingman."  In Metamorphosis we have learned that one of the biggest obstacles to change is finding new friends who will come alongside of you and help you transform your life.  Often times the decision to change your life means starting over with friends or at least taking a break from certain people who aren't helpful with life change. Operation Wingman was a weekend for those who were interested in learning how to be THAT friend as well as for those who need that friend.  Tropical Storm Lee decided to attend the weekend and it was a perfect analogy for overcoming and enduring the storms of life.  We had a blast.  We worshipped in the midst of the storm --literally!

Don't Give Up

Today is a sad day. A friend gave up on life and now hearts are broken. Life-change can be hard and overwhelming. Please remember that you are never alone. Remember that there is always a way out of despair. You are loved. There is a future even if you can't see or imagine it.
