Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Our week was very admin heavy. To some admin doesn’t sound like too much fun but I really enjoy doing it from time to time.  I think it really helps to watch our attitude with how we approach things. If we go at it with an attitude of I get to do this it helps us to find joy in the midst of it and see all the good things in it vs if I go at it with I have to do this the joy is often not there. I want to encourage you to approach things that you feel you have to do with an attitude of I get to do this.

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier Corrie ten Boom. If there is someone in your life that you have to forgive ask god to help you. Or if you know someone that can’t forgive pray for them that they will be able to forgive and experience the healing that comes through it.

Have a blessed week

Hello our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

Last week we met a person from a country Jen has visited in the past. Because she has been there it opened up deep conversation and led to the opportunity to pray for them. It was amazing. I love how God uses things from our life in a total different season to connect us with someone on a deeper level. God wants to do the same with you!!

One reminder from the video at the end: Spend time to read through the gospels, especially the words Jesus spoke, and then live them actively.

God bless you

A resolution that will stick

Leave a reply

Today’s video is about a way that a resolution can stick. Be encouraged and inspired!

Hello our friend

We wish you a blessed and happy new year!! We hope you had a wonderful start into it!

On New Years Day we baked a few German New year Brezels for some neighbor friends which was a lot of fun. It was a great way to bless our friends with a German new years tradition. Think about how you can bless your neighbors this year and then do it!! Depending when you read this you have about 360 days’ time to do that!

Here is also a quick step by step reminder from the video on how to reach the goal.

  1. set a goal that you are actually excited about: I want to run 15 miles by the end of the year.
  2. Then make it a clear goal that can be measured: goal is being able to run 15 miles by the end of the year.
  3. Then break down the goal in small junks: 1st month week 1 walk 1 mile, week 2 walk a little faster, week 3 jog the mile, week 4 run the mile. Do that for every month.
  4. Then make sure to look back and see how things are going and if you see something isn’t working think about why and make adjustments: I wasn’t able to walk in week 3 cause I had meetings all of those nights I planned to do it, so I moved it to different nights.
  5. Have someone that you can share with about your progress and who can encourage and challenge you.

By the end of the year you will look back and can say that you actually reached the goal!

Now the 3 goals I would like for you to set are:

  1. Set a daily bible reading time. Start a yearly plan on Youversion bible that fits the amount of time you want to read. If you want to read it together with a friend and write each other what spoke to you about the things you read
  2. Have a daily prayer time. Connect with Jesus personally and also let him speak to you through the scriptures you read. Also spend time to pray for others around you!
  3. Put into practice what Jesus called us to do: Love your neighbor! Do something every week were you build and deepen your relationships with your neighbors and that shows them that they are loved. If you need weekly tips follow us on Instagram: Loveyourneighborsf or on facebook: L-y-n

When you start doing that you will look back and notice how much closer you got to Jesus and your neighbors during the year and how your love for others increased!!

 

God bless you
