131 || Holding on to Hope Because God Is Faithful || Anna Sackett

Send us Fan Mail Nineteen-year-old Anna Sackett recently left the comforts of home to study midwifery as a missionary in the Philippines. This conversation, just a few weeks prior to her departure, offers us a gentle reminder that our hope and joy is not in having discovered our dream or even what’s next on our journey, but it is solely and totally in Jesus. The alternative is true as well: if you haven’t figured out your dream, you need only to look to Him for all you need. You’ll hear from Anna why we can rejoice in our longing for something more in this life, the importance of steadfastness (what that is and why it matters) as well as the reminder that God makes us steadfast as we look to Him. Anna is a recent homeschool graduate and the middle sibling to four protective and crazy-fun brothers. She secretly loves to have kitchen dance parties with her family, and to be creative with watercolor painting. She loves scripture and theology and, as an introvert at heart, finds joy in learning what it means to share her faith with boldness as a young adult.
