And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 ESV)
The Dixon family has been through many changes and seasons over the past three years and we continue to hold fast to our faith in God. We are in the midst of a new journey and we intend to keep our focus on God. It can be so easy to be distracted by the world and trying to please others that we stray from our intended path. The enemy is constantly at work around us from directions that we least expect. To protect ourselves from these attacks we should follow the instructions outlined in Ephesians 6:10-20 and put on the Full Armor of God in order to stand against the schemes of the devil. We choose to walk in the light as it says in Ephesians 5:6-14,
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
The season has come for us to put aside things of the past, and look forward to what God has in store for us as we press on.
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14 ESV)
Your continued prayers are appreciated as we seek Gods will for our family.
Fred, Dusty, & Tyler
