LOVE HOPES - Hsu Rochum is one of my favorite people. And she’s one of the reasons I’m so passionate about getting students to check out Montreat College. Because of her own hard work and God’s grace in her life, Hsu is on track to graduate Montreat in 2020.

Who in your life needs to experience the transforming power of a faith-based college experience? Join President Paul Maurer and our Montreat College team Tuesday evening 9/24 to hear more. Link to RSVP in profile.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 15:13 NIV
LOVE LEARNS - Their names are Hsu and Bria. These extraordinary young women were first persecuted as Christians in their home country, then targeted in elementary school here with violence and bullying. They found a safe place to learn and heal at The Nest Academy which just celebrated 10 years of “firsts” in Charlotte.
•
Hsu is now a thriving senior at Montreat College studying biology. Bria is married and is taking steps to become a dental assistant. With people like MC Hildreth in their corner, they discovered God’s promises on the other side of their pain. I’m grateful for friends like MC who fight for peace in our neighborhoods.

Who's in your corner? Tag a friend who’s helping you find strength in the midst of your struggle.

“And then, after your brief suffering, the God of all loving grace, who has called you to share in his eternal glory in Christ, will personally and powerfully restore you and make you stronger than ever. Yes, he will set you firmly in place and build you up.”
1 Peter 5:10 TPT
LOVE LETS GO - Sunday my campus pastor Paul preached brilliantly from 2 Corinthians 12 - “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
•
He talked about the GRACE we find at the very point of our weakness. The STRENGTH we encounter when we dig deeper than we believe we can. And the POWER God gives us when we let go of trying to figure things out all by ourselves. I loved every bit of it, and it made me wonder... Why am I still holding onto the shame and regret of some of the mistakes of MY past?
•
If you look at the second photo, you'll see Paul picking up a couch as he demonstrates the crazy thing that happened to him recently on the highway.
•
The next time I get angry or frustrated with myself (or someone else) for making a mistake, I'll remember how heavy that couch must have been. I'll laugh because Paul had the courage to share the story of his own mistake. And I'll let thank Jesus for taking the weight of my mistakes off my shoulders.
When your handsome husband takes such a lovely photo of your boys AND the dog on the first day of school it would be a crime to not share it.

“What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn’t work. So I quit being a “law man” so that I could be God’s man. Christ’s life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not “mine,” but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that.
Is it not clear to you that to go back to that old rule-keeping, peer-pleasing religion would be an abandonment of everything personal and free in my relationship with God? I refuse to do that, to repudiate God’s grace. If a living relationship with God could come by rule-keeping, then Christ died unnecessarily.”
Galatians 2:19-21 MSG
”The way to freedom is through your fear.” Thank you Pastor @stevenfurtick for the incredible word this Sunday.
