Dear Church Family,
I hope this message finds you well.
It’s just hard to trust, isn’t it?
One of the many blessings of living in Northern Maine has been the opportunity to learn how to ski. It took me a while before I felt comfortable sliding down with a "pizza" shape. I often marvel at how quickly children learn, gliding down without fear.
Recently, as I watched my children and other skilled skiers, I noticed how naturally and effortlessly they moved. Their bodies, ski gear, and the slope seemed to be in perfect harmony. They simply followed the flow. As for me, I struggled to surrender to the flow. I resisted, out of fear—fear of falling, fear of going too fast—and each time I resisted, I fell.
This experience reminded me of our spiritual lives. Saul, before his transformation into Paul, fought against the flow. He worked hard, persecuting Christians, thinking he was doing God’s work. But on the road to Damascus, he heard the risen Christ ask, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It’s so hard for you to kick against the goads.” That encounter led Paul to surrender, to go with the flow of God’s call. Though his journey wasn’t without trials, he found deep satisfaction, because he was finally aligned with God's purpose.
Have you discovered God’s call in your life? Are you going with the flow?
This past Sunday, Joyce and I shared a message on God’s call based on Luke 5:1-11, the story of Peter’s calling.

May God bless you and keep you. May you glorify Him as you are deeply satisfied in His call for your life.
Stay warm and well. Love you all.
