Hey our friend

Thanksgiving week went by so fast. We hope you had a wonderful time. We hosted a Thanksgiving meal at our apartment which was a wonderful time. This week we will have the whole DTS over to share more about the ministry and take them on a prayer walk. We are also going more towards the Christmas season. We want to encourage you to spend time in this season to really think about Jesus the man this season is about.

Also we send out our most recent newsletter this weekend. If you would like to receive it just sign up here.

We also want to ask you to pray about to join our monthly or one time gift support team. We lost a few supporters over the last few months and want to see if you would like to start partnering with God and us in the ministry we are doing here. Pray about it. You can click on this link for more info on how to support us. Thank you for considering us. It means a lot to us. May God bless you richly.

Unique is good

Recently I heard about an interesting phenomenon in the LA area. People pay a company to greet them at the airport as if they were famous. They roll out a red carpet and hire people that will wait for you and cheer at you. Then they drive you off in a limousine. The interesting thing about this is that this concept gains in Popularity. I think it is interesting how Salomon addressed this kind of situation in Proverbs 12.9

Better to be ordinary and work for a living

than act important and starve in the process.

He was talking about that it is better to be ordinary then to pretend to be something that we are not. I believe in todays society many people strive for being someone they are not. Maybe some want to be like a certain Hollywood star, a certain model or a certain successful person. But the thing is that they end up living there lives to become someone they are not and in that missing out on who God truly made them to be. I think many of those problems come from identity issues and not accepting who we are. Another one is from how we grew up and wrong things we believed that people and the enemy told us. I want to remind you today that God made you unique and wonderful. You and the world misses out if you don’t live out that uniqueness. You, the true you, brings a piece of God into this world that only you can bring. And always remember God doesn’t create junk but only unique and amazing things

Have a blessed week
