Hi Brian!

The word for this week is "youth". We find it these 4 times in the New Testament:

Mark 10:20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. KJV

Luke 18:21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. KJV

Acts 26:4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews; 5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. KJV

1 Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. KJV

These are all the Greek word "neotes". Strong's Concordance says: newness, youthfulness. In each of the first three examples here the person speaking had great confidence in what they had been taught and how they had been trained from their youth! Then Paul, who knew Timothy and his family, encouraged Timothy to rely on what he had been taught from his youth and not to allow the opinions of others to affect how he saw and carried himself. Your beautiful, unique, individually gifted and talented little ladies can each have great confidence in the way that they have been taught and trained when it comes to the Word of God. You and Kristine have started them off with such a great foundation that they should never be discouraged when others may not agree with them or even approve of them. That strong foundation will cause them to be unshakeable in their faith and immoveable in what they know and believe! It is so fun to see the real individuality of each of them, especially Georgia and Reagan who are naturally so much alike, but still so uniquely different! My prayer is that you both will have great confidence in them and in God's hand upon them! Well done! Here is Hillsong Young and Free with "Brighter":

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
