Swoneky Lay Leadership

Milestone season is here – awards days, graduations, end-of-year banquets, and the beautiful chaos of wrapping up another school year. It's a season of pride and exhaustion in equal measure.

We wanted to share something for every TSA family navigating this stretch: God is present in the transitions – not just the milestones.

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" – Isaiah 43:19

He's not waiting for the cap-and-gown photo. He's in the carpool line. The last-minute grocery run for the class party. The quiet ride home when your kid finally opens up about what's really going on. The late-night planning sessions for summer programs that haven't started yet.

The new thing God is doing doesn't wait for the schedule to clear. It springs up in the in-between – and that's exactly where faithfulness lives.

So if you're running on fumes and holding it all together through the final weeks: you're not behind. You're right where God meets you.

Praying for every family, every officer, every corps leader navigating this season. Who else is in the thick of it right now?
