| This edition is sent to you a bit later than planned. The year has started way too quick for me and I struggle to keep up. But, a busy year is showing us that there are many an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of individuals, groups and our community. I am looking forward to it. At Ligstad we are thinking anew about many matters and we will surely keep you updated in following editions. |
The one thing we can be sure about here on earth is change. We have the choice to either embrace change or to resist it. One thing is certain. Growth happens when we embrace change. We gain new perspective on old challenges and see opportunities previously unseen for us. When certain doors remain closed to us we have the opportunity to step back purposefully, look at our surroundings and observe other opportunities. Let’s make 2024 the year we are focused on being aware of the places God is leading us towards. I pray that God opens not only our eyes here at Ligstad to where He is leading us, but also the eyes of our Ligstad friends and partners. We are looking forward to journey to where we are being lead and I, personally, cannot wait to see what God will do through us
Ligstad greetings
