Hey our friend

Wow we are almost at the end of August. How did time go by so fast? But that means our San Francisco summer will arrive soon!! We hope your summer met all your expectations!!

Last week we were able to see the musical Les Miserables which was amazing!! I highly recommend watching it. During the weekend we visited a neighbor who used to live very close to us but had to move because her building was retrofitted for earthquakes. She was so happy that we came. We also had a wonderful time at the boys and girls club and at the Italian Center. On Friday we had half yearly meeting with all the YWAM works in the bay area to evaluate how things are going. It was refreshing and encouraging.  Maybe find a time sometime to evaluate your own life too. It can be super helpful, encouraging and challenging.

We wish you a blessed week!!

God bless you

Recently I saw a video which showed a view of different people and how they were capable of more then anyone would think they are. It showed some people with a talent in sport even they had a handicap. It was amazing to see how each of them probably believed in who they are and didn’t let themselves be limited by how others said they cant do it.

It reminded me of people we talked about in the last few months like Peter or Paul. Both of them experienced things that seemed impossible, but God used them in power and changed the world through them. When we look at those different men from the bible we notice something different so. They did not necessarily believe in their own ability, but they trusted in God showing up. Paul talks about that when he is weak Christ is strong in him. He admitted openly that it was not by his might, but by Gods power that he did the things he did. So Jesus said that he will be with us till the end of time with that meaning He is with us like with Paul and Peter and he can show up miraculously when we are weak. So when you feel you don’t have the strength or ways to do something greater than you would be able to achieve, welcome to good company. Most people in the bible experienced something like that, but then in there weakness God showed up strong.

We want to encourage you this week to let God be strong in your weakness through your life!

We had a wonderful Time at our annual Staff Retreat where all the ywam staff form the bay area comes together to learn and encourage each other. It was a refreshing time for everyone that came. Jen had a meeting for the neighborhood watch group which was encouraging for her since she had a big group there! It’s wonderful how the neighborhood watch brought so many people together and gave us so many new relationships.

We wish you a blessed week and remember its ok to feel weak, because in those times god is even stronger through you!!

God bless you
