Weekly Update Feb 8, 2024

Hello,

As we finish another week, Tracy's latest reflections invite us to embrace the fresh mercies God extends to us each morning, inspired by Lamentations 3:22-23 and the peaceful imagery of Psalm 23:2b. This week, Tracy takes us through an insightful journey in the Bible Recap Reading Plan, highlighting God's miraculous deeds in Exodus and His unwavering desire to be with us. It's a beautiful reminder of God's consistent nature and His invitation to find peace and contentment in His presence.
