If fear guides you you can’t have God guide you at the same time

Today we want to talk about fear but specifically about If fear guides you, you can’t have god guide you at the same time.

Hi our friend

How was your week?

Our week was great and we had great times connecting with God. Those times are times when God often shares new ideas and more vision with us that we then see unfold over time. Often when God gives new vision I am trying to figure out how that could happen, when all I have to do is follow his lead. Also when I try to figure it out it can make me feel overwhelmed and just look at my abilities and strength which are way to small to make it happen and that can then lead to fear. But when I keep my eyes on him I can see how all things are possible because nothing is impossible for Him. With all that to say we have an exciting season ahead!

Also good things are happening in the now with new relationships being build and random encounters with people. The other day an accident happened outside our apartment and I saw it from my window.  I ended up walking to the driver gave him empathy and also encouraged him right in that moment. There are always opportunities to make a difference in this world, we just have to watch out for it.

We hope you also got inspired by this weeks video blog. Don’t forget to start your fear fast today and let God free you from fear!

God bless you

Stories to think about – Stephen

Our Story today is about a man named Stephen! You can read his story in Acts 6.8 -7.60!

Hi our friend

How are you?

We had a good week here in San Francisco. Walking through our neighborhood while prayer walking shows more and more how life is a bit back to normal again. People are in the park and restaurants spending time together which is wonderful. I don’t know how it looks like in your area, but its definetly a good time to get out and start praying for your neighborhood. Pray that people that were isolated for a long time will be able to reconnect and that hope comes back to the ones who might have lost it. Also just pray whatever God puts on your heart for your area.

We personally get also more and more adjusted to the new life with Caleb around. He is such a joy to be with and enriches our life. Also be encouraged this week by the story of Stephen and let it encourage you to share your faith with joy!!

God bless you

A journey through the bible the book of Acts

Today I want to give you a little intro into the book of acts. I really love the stories of the disciples and how God moved through them. May it inspire you!!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a fantastic week!! If not start remembering all the good moments you had that will help you to get perspective.

All 3 of us are doing well here in San Francisco. I am back at things since last week and it has been a bit different with Caleb around. He sometimes just wants to be held and who could deny such a wish 🙂 ! So sometimes he is in his carrier on my chest while i am working on the computer!

This coming season is also really exciting with multiple love your neighbor workshops coming up with churches in the San Francisco area. We are also doing a few more things with our neighborhood church which is exciting! Pray for wisdom for us in this season on how to get things done!

And as we saw in the book of acts Jesus called each one of us to the great commission. Step into it by loving your neighbor and neighborhood and by being a genuine friend to them.

God bless you
