Anger and compassion

Today we are talking about a story in Mark 3. Be encouraged and challenged

Hi our friend

We hope you are having a great week!!

We had a good week here in San Francisco. Jen was helping out at a big women’s conference online with women from all over the world. She had a wonderful time. It’s amazing how you can connect with the whole world online as a ministry platform. In the last week we also saw more and more things opening up in San Francisco like restaurants in our neighborhood. It feels a lot like in Europe now since people dine on tables outside on the sidewalks and the street. Besides those 2 new things we had a pretty usual week with many of the usual things.

Ask God daily to fill up your compassion Tank.

God bless you

Changed and new Priorities

Leave a reply

Over the last few months many of us were isolated in our homes cause of the virus. It changed in many ways the way we lived our lives and our daily priorities. In this video blog I want to look at how all of this can bring positive lasting change after this. Be inspired and encouraged.

Hi our friend

How was your week?

Our week in San Francisco was good. We are preparing an online series on loving your neighbor and neighborhood with a weekly tip that everyone can do easily. Make sure to subscribe and follow our Love your neighbor Instagram @loveyourneighborsf or on Facebook under L-y-n to get the updates We also got to connect with people a lot during our morning runs which was super encouraging. Its such a simple way to stay in touch but also to do something good for your body too!! Try it out in your neighborhood in this coming season!!

Look at your priorities together with Jesus and ask him to help you reprioritize things that need to change!

God bless you

Recharging Emotionally

Leave a reply

A while ago I heard a sermon or read a devotional on today’s topic and I got some good points out of it that I want to share with you today. Be inspired!

Hi our friend

How are you?

During the last week, we had our last Life of the beloved Book club which was super encouraging to all of us. At the end of our time, we spoke blessings over each person which was a real encouragement. There is real power in a spoken blessing. Also with all the things going on, we spend time in prayer to pray for our city and for reconciliation between people. We strongly believe that when we follow Jesus command to love our neighbor a lot of issues in our society can be fixed. When we love someone we listen to them and try to understand and always want the best for them. If they are hurting we are we are there for them. I want to encourage all of us to live out this command Jesus gave us!!

Follow the steps in the video to recharge emotionally.

God bless you
