Hello Family. Here we are... another day... another development... new adjustments. I know that you are all feeling the weight, the anxiousness, the fear, the stress. But please, please know that you are not alone. If you have a chance, read Psalm 91 today. Breathe. Then read it again. Read it a few times throughout the day. It is a great reminder of our place in God's presence and protection. You may even want to commit this to memory and just use it as your constant meditation:

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust." 

This is a truth that we all need to have our hearts, minds and souls anchored in.

By now, you should have all seen the "Shelter in Place" order mandated by all six counties in the Bay area. I want to encourage you to do your part and take this order and all recommendations and mandates seriously. This is how we practice our discipleship as we love God and love people. This is a time where each and every one of us need to be sacrificial and put our own agendas and plans aside. We can and should do this together. And as we remain in the "shelter of the Almighty", we will get through this.
