The mosaic

I don’t know if you have ever seen one of those really big and nice mosaic but they are really beautiful. When you look closer you notice that they are put together through little pieces and colors. All of them together create the big picture that you then see.

Lets look at our lives, Days, weeks, months, years sometimes go by so fast and we don’t even remember what we did. We think our week was one of those normal weeks, but when we thought back on it we realized the amount of amazing moments God has given us. Being encouraged in a small group we host, connecting with a neighbor and spending time together, saying hi to a friend and his dog in the morning and bring a smile to the face, going on a date and look each other in the eyes and see how happy we are together. These are just some snippets of one of our weeks and there was a lot more, but those snippets help remember all the little moments God is using to inspire, make us grow and feel encouraged. These little snippets all put together make our life. Its amazing to think about how wonderful that gift of life is God has given us. But sometimes we don’t think about it enough to really appreciate how wonderful it is!

Take a moment to stop and remember the moments you had, the people you met or just little exciting things that happened during your week. Remember those little snippets that create your mosaic. Be inspired by your loving father!

Hey our friend

How are you? Hopefully really well!! Jen and I felt really encouraged after the conference last week. It was a wonderful time to be around a group of people that have a similar heart to love on their direct neighborhoods. We also had a wonderful brunch which was really encouraging too! Our neighborhood art walk was also a fun time since we saw many of four friends form the neighborhood in the neighborhood. Plese keep us in your prayers in this coming season while we have a few things coming up like the writing trip. Thank you!!

Don’t forget this week to look back and remember all those little snippets that made your week!

God bless you

Hey our friend

We hope your week was amazing!! Last week we were at a conference about neighborhoods and how we can make an impact by loving them well. It was also about building neighborhood churches for people in the neighborhood. It was a huge blessing. After the conference we got to see some of our closest friends. It was a wonderful week!!

Pray with us that God will show us how to inspire others through the new things we learned!

Ask God this week: Who is the one in my life!

Live your faith 100%, Paul

Last week we talked about Romans 5.20 were sin abounds grace abounds more. This week I want to look with you at the man who wrote the book of Romans. Be inspired!

Hey our friend

Days, weeks, months, years sometimes go by so fast and we don’t even remember what we did. Let God remind you about those special moments he gave you this week! We had a pretty good week here in SF. We hosted a small group at our house which was encouraging. When you host them you really become a family with the people who come. Its amazing. We also had some wonderful times with people in our community. During the week we worked also on the book. We are going on another writing trip in May. Pray with us that we can keep moving forward. The last few month have been harder in that area since we didn’t get to the book as much as we would have liked. Thank you for praying!

Have a blessed week and let God help you to have your life 100% sold out to Him!!

God bless you

Grace is greater then sin

… But where sin increased, Grace increased even more! Romans 5.20

This weeks blog is all about this famous verse above and how it affects us and this world. Be inspired and encouraged!!

Hey our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week! Ours was great. Jen and I got very cheap tickets from our cell phone company for a baseball game which was a lot of fun! We also hold our north beach small group again at our house which was wonderful. Every time we leave encouraged! Its just wonderful to have a group of friends from your own neighborhood so you don’t have to go far to see each other. That is why loving your neighbor and neighborhood is so amazing and wonderful since it really gets you connected on a regular basis in an easy way. Make sure to connect!

Spend some time this week to meditate on Romans 5.20 and see what God wants to say to you through it!!

God bless you

Hey our friend

How are you? Hopefully great!! Last week we were able to go with a few neighbor friends to a neighborhood meal which was a lot of fun! We also had our bay area YWAM Ministries council meeting. It was encouraging to hear what God is doing at all the other places! During the week we also had a goodbye for now lunch for our North beach DTS Students. They are leaving for their outreach for the next 2 month.  Keep them in there prayers that they have opporturnity to bring the hope of Jesus to people to all the places they go to!

Thank you so much for partnering with us in Prayer and financially and by loving your neighbor where you live! You are a huge blessing!!
