Hey friend

Only a few more days till Easter. This year went by fast again. That is another reason why we have to live our life daily intentional. During the last week we had great conversations with people at the coffee shop. It is always exciting to see God bring change and new revelations to people. We also went to a big community discussion about concerts at the America cup. During that time we were able to see old faces again and connect with a few new ones. God also gave us the opportunity to encourage one of the main organizers for the America Cup.

The last week also had a sad moment with Jen’s last grandpa passing away. She will fly Thursday to Pennsylvania to attend the funeral. Please pray for her and her family in this season of grieve.

Easter the time to get rid of fear

We are only a few days away from Easter the greatest day of victory. But when we look at the days before Easter we don’t see that much victory. Actually we see more fear than anything else. The disciples ran away from Jesus because out of fear. Another disciple even denied Jesus because the fear for his life crippled him. Even Jesus was fearful and asking His father for another way out. What happened? Jesus started to carry all the fear and all evil things mankind did, do and will do on his shoulders. That is a pretty heavy burden. But what did Jesus do in this time of fear, he looked at His Father and not at the circumstances. He knew exactly what would happen, but he also knew His Dad held Him in his hand. Many times it is easy to look at circumstances and become fearful. Look at the disciples as an example. Instead of listening to what Jesus said about him resurrecting after 3 days and believe it in faith they choose to look at the circumstances and live in fear to save their lives. I’m sure most of us would have done the same thing. So what is the solution? When fear comes up in your life, instead of letting it sink in, spend time with God and let Him meet you in that area. Ask Him for an increase of your faith because faith gives you Gods perspective. Also meditate on who God is and remind yourself of the times He came through in your life. And don’t forget, He overcame it all!! That is the good news of Easter.

Have a blessed Easter week

Markus and Jen
