August 2024 | Calendars

Leaders! It's already back-to-school time!! 

I hope you have had a summer full of relaxation and fulfillment, and that August's arrival finds you refreshed and revitalized. But, if you're anything like me, you wish you could slam the brakes on summer and rest here a little longer. I keep looking for that pause button. I haven't found it yet though, so I keep moving forward. 

That's what we're called to do: to be faithful in today (Hebrews 3:13). To do our best in each moment, and if a moment fails, commit to doing better in the next (Ephesians 6:7). To face tomorrow with hope knowing the future is held in the hands of our Maker (Jeremiah 29:11). To interact with love for others because we know the love God has for them by how well He loves us (John 13:34-35). And to keep marching because we know we are where we are right now for a reason (Philippians 3:17 & Ephesians 2:10).

I'm here to encourage you in your faithful walk, just as I hope you're encouraging me in mine. I know it's not easy; we need each other.

August 2024 Growth for Today Calendar

Join us as we study Isaiah in a year! This is our first in-depth study of Isaiah, and we claim no expertise. Come sit alongside us as we all learn at the feet of Jesus!

In August, we will study chapters 40-43, continuing our pace of a little over one chapter a week. We will post our Wolfe Notes weekly as a glimpse into our growth journey or as an opportunity to "catch up" on any days missed.

A sunset over the ocean sets the background for this Isaiah themed August 2024 calendar.


I leave you with the song that accompanied the drafting of this post:
In every high and every low
You never left me without hope 
 You were good and You're good right now
I've witnessed Your faithfulness
I've seen You breathe life within
So I'll pour out my praise again
You're worthy, God You're worthy of all of it.
-   "I've Witnessed It" performed by Passion

Give it a listen. Let it be your August song. Let's together grow in faithfulness, one step at a time.

Learning with You,

World Turtle Day | JOY for Today

Image
After watching my turtle recover from his tumble down the stairs yesterday (he's alright), I realized this is what turtles do: they take risks. They don't know what's at the bottom of that fall, but they trust their shell to protect them. I wonder, what shell protects you? Does your shell of protection provide joy and confidence or fear and isolation?  Meet Our Turtle: Waldo World Turtle Day Stops: Did You Know...   Two we knew; three we didn't. Wolfe Stew Connects  Musings by the Mrs. Bible Verses and Quotes  Inspired by turtles. Activity Suggestions   Care, costumes, reading, crafting, games, habitats, and maps.
