This week’s “Embracing Faith” article will focus on Embracing Faith through Inspiration.
“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example
for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.” -1 Timothy 4:12
The end of every school year tends to be a time of stress and excitement for students, teachers, and their families.
As the stress increases during finals so does the anticipation of summer vacation.
However, this year, for students and their families, that anticipation has changed and even completely deteriorated.
For those graduating college into an unsteady economy, the job market is nothing short of scary, and for the students and parents that look forward to summer camp, many of them have been cancelled.
Young people are going to be entering into uncharted territory this summer season, and are in need of a mindset that encompasses faith, gratitude, and wisdom.
Whether you are a recent graduate unsure of what is next, a student without a summer plan, or a parent trying to help their child navigate this uncertainty, it is vital to believe and follow the wise words of these eight bible verses.
