Is the volume of the distractions in our life so loud that we can’t hear the Holy Spirit?

Dear Students,    To say this year has been tough sure is an understatement. With one thing after the next getting canceled, postponed, forgot about, you are stuck wondering what’s next and when will this end.     The one thing that hasn’t changed is God’s love for you. Through all the heartache and fear God is there.     When schools are shut down, God is open and waiting to hear from you.    When expectations go unmet, God is urging you to put your hopes and expectations on Him.    When the burden seems too heavy to carry, God is saying his Yoke is easy and His burden is light.    When you find yourself stuck in a place you don’t feel loved, look to God as the giver of unconditional love.    When your games get canceled and your identity is shaken, place your identity in the creator who made you.    When the path ahead seems more blurry than ever, set your eyes upon the Lord to guide your next step.    In all things, through all things, fix your eyes upon the Lord, and then take one step closer to Him each day, letting the lamp of the Lord guide you through uncertain times.     We love you and are praying for you daily ❤️

Today is #givingtuesday!!! No matter the amount will you consider investing in this ministry to continue to help us bring the Word of God to Coaches and Athletes in Clarksville??     Link to Give in Bio!

These SWEET SWEET young ladies!    Thanks to @jenniesallen my living room has been filled every Monday evening with love, laughs and the Lord!     I pray y’all continue to trade in striving in this world for abiding in our Lord. I pray you know that in your own strength you are NOT enough but through the strength of the Lord within you, He is enough for you!!     Y’all are beautiful, smart, courageous, and kind. My life as been blessed learning with y’all this summer ❤️

FCA College Advance 2020

2020 FCA Leadership Breakfast is in the books!! Today we all equipped each other with new skills to better serve and share the gospel at each campus!! Let’s continue to pray for big movements of God for our local middle and high schools!

Truth coming from @moisom 👏🏼👏🏼 Too often we satisfy our emotions in place of pushing deep into scripture (1 John 1:6) and Gods love to uncover harsh truths that will ultimately let us live a life glorifying Him! We challenge you to not shy away from hard conversations about your faith. But choose to step into them knowing you are wrapped in Christ’s love and that through His transformational power you will be set free! ( 2 Corinthians 3:17)

This morning Rossview High FCA had the privilege to serve breakfast to our bus drivers! Thank you bus drivers for all you do!!
