Welcome to the YASKI Web Site!
I can do all things in him who strengthens me.
-Philippians 4: 13
Lent is a time of self-sacrifice and self-renewal as we reflect on Jesus' greatest gift to us: His giving of His life for our salvation. One can only imagine the physical, emotional, and spiritual pain Jesus went through as he was marched to Golgatha, stripped of his clothes, and left to die on a wooden cross. Yet Jesus bore all of these pains for us because by doing so he conquered sin and death and gave us all an example to follow. That example continues to this day.
We all face crosses in our lives. Many times these crosses can cause great pain to us and/or to those closest to us. It is in these times that we need to remember that "I can do all things in Him who strengthens me." One way to ease the pain of your own cross is to help another ease the pain of theirs. Perhaps you could invite some friends from YASKI to donate to recent earthquake victims in Haiti or Chile, or volunteer your time with a charity in your area. You'll find that in helping others, you strengthen yourself too.
May you continue to walk with Jesus on your journey through life.
