Dear Parents, House-Parents and Staff:  

Blessed are those whose help is the GOD of Jacob, whose help is in the LORD their GOD. He is the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them – he remains faithful forever. 

Psalm 146:5-6 TPT

But joyful are those who have the GOD of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the LORD their God. He made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever.

Psalm 146:5-6 NLT

Who can believe that this is the end of the academic year? When was it that we had our opening chapel? Wasn’t that just a couple of weeks ago? The LORD has brought us through it all and we stand victorious today, declaring “How faithful is our GOD”.

At the end of the last academic year when the leadership of this great assignment was handed to me I was terrified to say the least. I tried to wriggle out of it but I couldn’t. It was clear to me that I was to take on the assignment and thus the journey for my growth and total dependence on GOD began.

Was it a smooth journey? No. Through it all I learnt to hear from the LORD. There were times I didn’t get what to share until the very last minute and initially I would panic but as He showed me that as long as I looked to Him, HE would give me what to share, I panicked less. The messages spoke first to me and I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to grow in my walk with Him.

Sometimes the enemy whispered to me that no one was reading and the messages were not impacting lives! Then I would say to him I was being impacted and even if I was the only beneficiary then it was worthwhile. After a while he stopped bugging me. Lol. I pray that the messages achieved all that the LORD sent them out to.

As we “graduate” from this community (yes, we) and as I look back I am filled with so many emotions. I am reminded of when we took the step of faith as led by the LORD to come and be part of this family of GOD (I thought we were crazy). Now we can testify of the faithfulness of GOD, we can tell the story of how dependable He is. At every bump on the road He showed up! He kept His word and we are graduating. Are you at a bump in your journey through Hillcrest? Is it looking totally bleak? Look up to the one who is faithful!!!

Have a GREAT summer!

Our God. Our Rock. Psalm 18:2
