Dear Ana

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. ~Ps. 91

Dear Ana~
You will be tempted to dwell in so many places, other than in the shelter of the Most High, your Father.  You will be tempted to dwell in insecurity and self-preservation, if you're anything like your mama. Satan, your accuser, the father of all lies, will try to make you believe that your Father is not good, not loving, not safe.  Don't believe him.  Instead, seek your Father in quiet.  He is good, Ana.  He saw you before He made the earth.  Nothing is a surprise to Him.  He knew where you would be born.  He knew on the exact day that your daddy and I would see your face for the first time.  He knew, Ana.  Be found in Him alone.   Read Ephesians, Ana, and know your identity is found IN CHRIST alone.

Dear Julia

~Find your identity in Christ Alone.  Starve all other things in your life (God calls them idols) that seek to steal Him as your joy and your foundation.  Read Ephesians.  Look for all of the "in Christ" phrases throughout the first chapter.

Love,
Mama
