As the JDRF Volunteer Coordinator, I know that this statement is true! The volunteers that sign up to help at JDRF events lighten not only our burdens, but our workloads, stress levels and tasks. Yes, you mean that much to us!
So, I'm asking to help lighten our load again at Type One Nation Summit. This event is a full day of educational and inspirational activities to help our community better manage life with type1 diabetes.
It will be held on February 24, 2018 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino, Pavilion Convention Center.
We also need any help you can give before the event at the JDRF Office, 5542 S. Fort Apache Road #100.

Accessing PSAT Scores
All the PSAT scores from the exam taken in October are now available. The breakdown of each section, including the correct answers as well as a personalized study plan from Khan Academy can be found on your College Board account at collegeboard.org. If you have not yet, you will need to create a College Board account in order to see your scores. The directions are below. Please, please, please...if you have already created an account do not create another, as this will severely complicate all dealings with College Board in the future, from SAT's to AP's to eventually sending scores to colleges. If you can't remember if you already have an account, please go through the "forgot my password" or "forgot my username" process to be certain. Any issues with accounts need to be directed to College Board rather than Faith Lutheran. Paper copies of scores will not be distributed as College Board no longer sends paper scores, however there will be test score interpretation assemblies during advisories in January for further information and to answer any questions.
- Go to collegeboard.org
- Click “Sign Up”
- Go through the process of creating an account
- When done, sign in with your new username and password
- Click “PSAT 8/9”
- If your scores do not appear, click “Add Scores”
- You may be asked to enter your password again
- You may be asked to update/double check all your information
- Click “Update”

Is God Directing You to Zarephath?
"Go at once to Zarephath of Sidon and stay there. I have commanded a widow in that place to supply you with food." 1 Kings 17:9
The stream Elijah had been drinking from dried up and the ravens that brought him food every day stopped coming. When that happens, God’s trying to get your attention! He’s getting you ready to move. Next God sent Elijah to an impoverished widow in the town of Zarephath, assuring him that she’d feed him. That must have been difficult for a leader who was used to ministering to others. Elijah found the widow in the middle of a famine, cooking one last meal for herself and her son. Nevertheless, he challenged her to obey God, promising, ‘There will always be flour and olive oil...in your containers until ...the LORD sends rain and the crops grow’ (v. 14). What gave Elijah the faith to say that? Because he’d proven God’s faithfulness in his own life! You can only talk in faith when you walk in faith. And associating with people of faith is contagious; it builds your faith. That’s what happened to this widow. She and her son may not have eaten a five-course meal every night, but God made sure that for the duration of the famine they had all they needed. So, if you don’t have everything you want right now, obey God with what He’s given you and trust Him that when the time is right He’ll send an increase. Notice also, the faith of both the widow and the prophet was tested. So, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned believer, tests of faith will keep coming your way. Is God directing you to your own personal Zarephath today? Don’t argue! ‘Go at once,’ because His provision hinges on your obedience.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, You are a great, merciful God who always provides what I need and not what I greed. In Jesus’ Precious Name, Amen
Heavenly Father, You are a great, merciful God who always provides what I need and not what I greed. In Jesus’ Precious Name, Amen
