"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me...[to] provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair." - Isaiah 61:1a, 3
Back in 2001, today was a day of tragedy and heartache. In the years since, we have had the opportunity to come together in honor of those who were lost and to work to make a positive difference. The hardships of the past are never erased, but they do give us opportunities to move forward. If you are struggling to overcome the ashes of your past, know that the Lord wants to meet you in your pain…and help move you into something wonderful.
