Stories to think about – Nahums hard message from God

Our story today is about Nahum and his challenging message he had to share. Be challenged and encouraged by him!

Hi our friend

How are you?

In Romans 12.15 it says rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. We were able to walk with people of both sides of this verse during our last week. Both are equally important and are a blessing to the ones you are with. There are seasons in life like it talks about in Ecclesiastes 3.4. and its important to not change them but walk with people in whatever season they are in. We want to encourage you to this with others around you. Ask Holy spirit to guide you in those times.

Also remember from our weekly video blog, In comparison to Nahum we always have the possibility of redemption today through Jesus. Don’t forget to share these good news with people!!

God bless you

Stories to think about – Jonah and his bitterness

Our story today is about Jonah and how bitterness controlled his life. Be challenged!

Hi our friend

How are you?

We hope you had an awesome week!! Ours was wonderful. We started now shortly after we wake up and gave Caleb breakfast to go outside and run and walk as a family up on our hill. We used to do that just Jen and I and after Caleb was born Jen and I at separate times. But now doing that as a family connects us with many more people. Everyone is excited seeing Caleb first thing in the day and he always brightens the day of everyone who gets a smile from him. It is such an easy and simple way to connect with neighbors and now we do it as a family. Spend some time in the morning or at night to go outside for a walk or run. Connect with your neighbors and also do something good for your health!

And now at the end a question to this week’s story to think about: Do we have bitterness in our life that might hold us away from truly wanting others to come back to God? Pray and let God search your heart and show you if something is there and then also bringing healing!!

God bless you

Stories to think about – Amos and the Shepherds

Our story today is about Amos, Shepherds and the Christmas story. Be encouraged!

Hi our friend

First of all we wish you a blessed and merry Christmas! May this time be a real blessing to you!!

For Jen and me the last week was definitely the week of Christmas celebrations. Between the two of us we went to 5 of them. The great thing about celebrations is that you often see people that you don’t know that well yet and you get the chance to get to know them better just by having a longer conversation. Last week we encouraged you with our love your neighbor tip to have some kind of celebration for christmas with your neighbors. Did you get a chance to do that? If not you still have a few days for a time to get together!

Also dont forget how the Christmas story and Amos show how every person is important to God! Remember that!!

God bless you

How to grow in your faith

It is so important to grow in our faith and draw closer to God. In todays video blog I will be sharing how to do that and how to important it is to make it part of your day. Be inspired and Encouraged!

Hi our friend

How are you?

Meeting someone new is something Jen and I always enjoy. This week Jen and I both were able to meet quite a few new people by just being outside. One of them was with a young man.  I saw him before in the park but didn’t get a chance to talk to him. This time I took the opportunity to connect with him. I said hi and introduced myself. That then lead to a conversation were I could listen to his life and encourage him. At the end of our time he said to please talk to him again when we see him. It is amazing how God opens doors to speak life into someone when we are willing to step out. We want to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone to connect with someone this week!!

Also as we talked about in the video blog, figure out a time in your day when you can do the 3 things to grow in your faith and get to know your father in heaven more and more!

God bless you
