Baxter and Rutherford Letter

Dear Friend,
There is not a single sparrow that falls to the ground that our Lord does not know about. Just think of how much he cares for us, the very reasons for which he died! And even if we are not falling to the ground, sometimes, to our over exaggerating selves, it might seem like we could at any moment. We certainly are blessed to know that the great and awesome Creator of the universe cares for us.
Even though it is so easy to forget, Jesus is our true peace. When life gets busy and hectic, we tend to get stressed. As carpenters of our time, it can get hard to carve out enough time for everything when life is busy. The Lord is our rock and our lighthouse in the storm. It is only in the quiet of our minds can we hear God’s voice clearly and in the stillness of our hearts can we truly see Him working in our lives. I hope this can give you hope.   
Sometimes life can feel like a very long tunnel, the kind that children try to hold their breaths through but never can because they burst out in laughter right before they reach the other side. And although I know sometimes it might seem like the light at the end of the tunnel is a train, it is not. Persevere! Continue to follow Christ and keep being an amazing encouragement to others.
God Bless,
Ariana
