A Daughter, A Sister, A Helper Scott Pauley

There is a double blessing when your children come to know Christ – they become family twice! A son becomes a brother, and a daughter becomes a sister. Lauren is our middle child and, like all of our children, it has been a blessing to her mother and me to watch her grow in the faith.
After graduating from Crown College, she served on the staff of Camp CoBeAc in Michigan for a couple of years. The Lord allowed her to gain a great deal of experience in the administrative office there and through working with pastors and group leaders. We are grateful for all of those who have poured into her life, helping her to become a woman who could be used of the Lord. Last fall, God allowed her to come back home and join our ETJ team.
Lauren serves in our office and helps with much of the daily work of Enjoying the Journey. She is also assisting Micah and Ana with many of our special projects and events throughout the year. You may see or correspond with her sometime soon, but we are grateful for her work behind the scenes in so many ways. It is a blessing to have her as a daughter, a sister, and a helper in the work God has given us to do.
The New Testament is full of examples of how God used individual women to make a difference in the furtherance of the gospel and the advancement of the church. Jesus had a group of women from the Galilee who “ministered unto him” (Luke 8:1-3). In the roll call of laborers in Romans 16, the Apostle Paul begins by commending Phebe, “a servant of the church” (v. 1). Praise God for godly women, young and older, who have labored, prayed, and invested to see the ministry of Christ move forward. We are blessed to have a number of women like this connected to the work of Enjoying the Journey.
You may connect with Lauren at la****@****************ey.org. Pray that the Lord will continue to use and guide her life, and ask the Lord to touch the hearts of many more young ladies to give themselves to serve Christ. It is my prayer that many little girls will come into the family of God and then find their place in helping to make Jesus known around the world.

Now, I am no engineer! But the principle applies to us all: The easiest thing in the world is to have a complicated life. The hardest thing in the world is to have a simple life. You have to work hard to keep it simple.

You Have to Work Hard to Keep it Simple

The idea of building a monument was not that of Joshua, but of God. God instructed Joshua to have twelve men remove a stone from a prescribed place, place it on their shoulders and bear it up out of Jordan. It was to be taken to their place of lodging. What purpose could possibly be served in carrying twelve large river rocks approximately six or seven miles to Gilgal? God said to! In Joshua, we find that God is a monument builder. 

The Monument Builder

In the Second Boer War in South Africa, 13,000 British troops were trapped for 118 days in what is now known as the Siege of Ladysmith. Food diminished, and disease grew. Worst of all, discouragement set in. A civilian was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year in jail for being a discourager! This man was not a traitor, but he walked around town and spoke discouraging things to men who were on guard against the enemy. The deepest wound you can inflict is to wound a person’s spirit (Proverbs 18:14). Image of the relief of the siege

The Power of Encouragement and the Peril of Discouragement 

In 2 Kings 5, we read a tale of three servants: Naaman, the Little Maid, and Gehazi. No matter your past, you can find healing like Naaman. Regardless of your circumstances, like the maid, God can bless and use you for eternity. Even if you have experienced great victory, you can fall into sin, just like Gehazi.
