“I Got Some Unexpected News” – Perry
Perry did get some unexpected news in the last month (not his health). Maybe you can relate. When this happens we can freak out or we can make some powerful Jesus-shaped choices, beginning with, “It’s OK to be human.”
Life can get dark. It can be like walking through such thick fog, you can’t even see your hand in front of your face. The life of faith means following God especially when we don’t know where we’re going!
How do we hold the tension that life is hard, and that God is good? Jesus models this so well. The day before He was crucified, he told his disciples “In this world you will have trouble.” But he didn’t stop there. He told them what to do with the hard.
Shawna admits that when she knows what’s coming she feels like she’s in control. She hyper plans, then becomes a slave to her schedule instead of the master of it. All in pursuit of peace. Yet true peace is found in letting go of control and surrendering to God’s plan.
Maybe you have that prayer you’ve been praying for a long time. Perry has a few of those and just in the past few months one of them was answered. He shares the amazing thing God did and what that means for you in the waiting.

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
