Friday Update, Feb. 21st
I think most of us have at least that one relationship, chalked full of unconditional love. The other day I got to spend every minute of the day with “my person!” It was such a blessing. Sometimes in life there are disappointments, misunderstandings, days that don’t go as planned, but having that encouraging person in life is a tremendous lift.
It reminds me of our Savior. When the Father looks down on His children He doesn’t define us by our imperfect days, mistakes, or our worries. He looks at His children and sees His Son, Jesus. He sees perfection, love, and sacrifice, and He has an even better unconditional love to offer.
In the same way that I got my cup filled the other day, it’s important to fill the cups of others. Serving others has a way of rejuvenating the soul as well. Acts 20:35 reminds us that, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” We can certainly apply that to the gift of encouragement. May God lead us to those special cups that need filled.

2025-2026 Universal CHOICE Scholarship Program: For those that have been following legislation regarding the Indiana CHOICE Scholarship program, we are one step closer to universal school choice. The Indiana House of Representatives just passed the state's budget (HB1001), and it is onto the Indiana Senate. This bill includes the provision for expansion of universal school choice, increased funding for K-12 across the board, and increases to funding of the ESA and CSAl. Please take a moment to thank the House for support school choice at https://action.i4qed.org/a/thank-you-indiana-house
