- Dismissal Alert: Please ensure you are parking in an actual, lined parking spot and walking up to your child’s teacher for safe and secure handoff.

As I read Psalm 13, I see David’s transformation from lamenting to trusting. Have you felt that way before? Working through situations that are difficult, tragic, and nonsensical to the realization that God is still at work, on the throne, in control, good, and worthy of praise!
How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death, and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall. But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me. ~Psalm 13
Have a great Weekend!
