To know him or to know of him

This weeks blog is about the difference of knowing God and knowing off him. Be inspired

Hello friend

We hope you had a wonderful week

We hope you had a fantastic week!! I love those little divine encounters that God opend up for Jen and me during the week. Just through being there and doing our usual things God gave us the opportunity to encourage multiple people. All we needed to do was being aware of the people around us. And at the end both of us felt encouraged ourselves through those times. We want to encourage you to be open to let God use you to bring hope to others in your everyday life!

Also spend some time to think and pray about where you are at and how to move forward from knowing off Him to knowing Him

Have a blessed week

If you are facing a challenging and unjust situation make sure to keep your eyes on God and keep trusting him! Remember He is the one that can bring good out of things that the enemy meant for evil!

Trust in a well?

This weeks video blog is about a story from John 4 and about where we put our trust in. Be inspired!

Hi our friend

We hope you had wonderful 4th of July week. We had a wonderful bbq with neighbors here. It was awesome. What we loved most about it is that neighbors met each other that didn’t know each other previously. It was wonderful to see new connections being established in our community. This bbq showed us again that it is important for having a neighborhood that knows each other to have a place where neighbors can connect naturally with each other. Think about how your home can be a place like that for your neighborhood!

Also don’t forget to look at your life this week and ask yourself where your trust is in!

God bless you

Its better together

Doing things together is most of the time better! With this video blog we want to inspire you to read the bible together with others and about why that is such a blessing.

Hello friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

What a good week! Jen got a chance to go to a leaders meeting of different ministry leaders and Pastors in San Francisco. It was a wonderful time of sharing and brainstorming together how to be Jesus hand and feet in the city. It is wonderful that times like this exist since it creates collaboration, sparks ideas and brings the body of Christ together. Times like that are also special since each one that comes sees that they are not alone. Think about your town and maybe ways how different churches, ministries and individual believers could have a meetup to talk with each other how to make a difference in your town.

Also start this week, as we talked about in the video blog, to find others who want to read the bible together with you and spend time to talk about it!!

Have a blessed week

Humility opens the door

This weeks video blog is about a story from John 4 and how a door was opened through humility. Be inspired!

Hi our friend

How are you? We hope wonderful!

During our last week Caleb caught a cold which then limited us a bit especially with connecting with families in the park. But we were able to connect with others and get other things done that needed  to get done which was a blessing. We were also able to spend extra time with Caleb inside the house which he felt really blessed about. Also all of us felt we got a bit of extra rest through the situation. Yes it was first a bit frustrating that we couldn’t do the things we planned but then God turned the frustration into a blessing for all of us. One thing I want to encourage you with this week is to always look for the good in every situation. It’s easy to find the negative and let that lead to frustration and have your full focus on that. But what if we instead of looking at that look at God and let him help us to focus our eyes on the good? When you do that it will change your perspective and also puts your focus on God. I love that in the Psalms how David even in the hardest situations tried to keep his focus on God and his goodness. Lets all do that too!!

Also don’t forget to connect with your neighbors by humbly asking for help!

God bless you
