As I sit at my desk watching it snow, I am contemplating all the wonderful, challenging, and exciting things that God has been completing throughout this last year with GEMS Girls’ Clubs. It has truly been my delight to be a part of the GEMS sisterhood. Which reminds me of a quote by Steve Maraboli: “It’s funny how, in this journey of life, even though we may begin at different times and places, our paths cross with others so that we may share our love, compassion, and hope. This is a design of God that I appreciate and cherish.” I have truly cherished the opportunity to serve alongside each of you in spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ. Even though we come from different backgrounds and places, God has woven us together into a beautiful tapestry.
Many of you know by now that God is sending my family and me on a new journey. While we are excited and filled with great anticipation for this next journey with God, we are also sad and will miss serving alongside each of you. My family and I have met so many amazing followers of Christ and we can see God moving and changing lives because of you.
I am confident that God’s plan for GEMS’ future is found in His Word. I cannot think of any greater honor as a woman than to share with a girl about our loving and caring Father. As a Club Coordinator or Counselor you are given the opportunity to paint a gorgeous picture of God’s pure love for them and His willingness to claim victory over sin by allowing Jesus to be crucified and resurrected, in order that each of them can live victorious with Him. This is truly the most beautiful and powerful message to share with girls everywhere.
May the Lord bless you richly with His love this upcoming year.
In Him,
Kathryn Miller
