Characters of Courage: Esther

Courage. When it comes to characters who are constantly courageous, superheroes are the quickest to come to mind. In movies and on TV, these heroes never seem afraid to do whatever it takes to save the day. Superheros are fearless in the face of danger, because they’re confident in their power. They don’t have to be afraid, because they know they have the strength to rise to any challenge.

Every month, we are honored to share inspriation from scripture with our Kanakuk family on social media! The verses below were the ones on our hearts during the month of September.

Imagine this: you’re at a theme park with friends, preparing to step aboard your favorite roller coaster. It’s the one that begins with stomach-wrenching drop and races through multiple flips, twists and turns. In those few moments (maybe even seconds!) on the ride, your entire being is surrendered to where the coaster takes you. You give up control and enjoy the freedom of flying through the air, following the coaster’s set path.

Our life story is written by the sequence of our daily decisions. Some are big, some are small. Some are insignificant and others life-altering.

It’s a new school year, Kampers! As we settle into our new routines, let us be reminded of God’s provision among the changing seasons. Summer is a time for growth, but fall is a time for harvest—a time for us to reap God’s blessings and dwell in his evergreen faithfulness. In this excitement of a fresh start, have you stopped to consider what God envisions for your life in the year ahead?

With school back in session and sports, homework, and activities in full swing, life is speeding up and the slow pace of summer is falling quickly behind us. While it’s great to be involved and active, we can easily get so busy that we forget to slow down and spend time with the One who loves us most.

Wow! It’s hard to believe we are already one week into August! The start of this new month brings the end of everyone’s favorite time of year: Kamp season. How can it possibly be the very last day of Kamp?

April showers bring May flowers... and new Scripture graphics for our Kanakuk family to download and share! We hope these verses encouraged and inspired you throughout the month of April.

“If you could ask God for anything in the world, what would it be?” Many of us have been asked this question before. Often, our worldly minds turn quickly to things that the world values —limitless money, extreme fame, a beautiful singing voice, amazing athletic abilities…the list could go on forever!
