We would like to highlight some of the wonderful ladies that make up our community, so for our winter newsletter we would like to acknowledge Karla Rupp! Karla has worked as realtor for the past 10 years. Karla has served as Sisterhood President in the past and is an active member of our KA community. We are very blessed to know her and grateful for the dedication, love, and wisdom she brings to our community. Karla's serving heart and unwavering commitment to building a strong, supportive sisterhood has made a lasting impact on all of us. We're honored to celebrate her and all that she continues to do for our Kehilat Ariel family!
Below you'll find some words that Karla would like to share with us:
Shalom! I join the entire Sisterhood in saying, we are all excited to work with our new and dynamic Sisterhood Board. I truly believe it’s going to be a great new year!
So as a believer of 40 years, if I was pressed to share with you, as I like to say, “what makes my heart beat,” I would have to say seeing believing women capture and walk in the goodness of God. Admittedly, it took me many years in my walk with the Lord to be planted in and grow roots, shall we say, in this concept.
This revelation came one day as I was studying (actually re-studying) the woman depicted in Proverbs 31, and particularly verse 25 that says, “. . . and she smiles at the future.” As I meditated on this verse, I realized that this was the key to getting through whatever storm, whatever hurt, whatever crushing disappointment, whatever doubt or fear we may have. If we have the assurance and trust that God ALWAYS has our good in mind; that He is always working things for our good; that He is attentive to our prayer and will bring His answer, His deliverance, in the best and perfect way, then we have learned the key to “smiling at our future,” having peace in our hearts that we can always rely on His goodness.
Psalms 25:8: “Good and upright is the Lord”
