The point of a trellis isn't to make the vines stand up straight in neat rows, but rather to attain a rich, deep glass of wine. It's to create space for the vine to grow and bear fruit". —John Mark Comer

Life - it's a calm sail on some days, and a rough sea on others. And when those stormy days hit, and you're left paddling to stay afloat, remember this: Jesus has braved these waves for YOU. His unwavering presence acts as your anchor, a lighthouse of hope amid calm or chaos.
Welcome, dear friend, to an episode that intersects with an unusual juncture in your week. A juncture marked by joy, obstacles, a sprinkle of confusion and experimentation, and above all, an overflow of love. Today, I bring you a special interaction I had with Jesus. I am always grateful for the universal message that He conveys through these personal encounters.
As we set sail on this episode, let's remind ourselves that solitude is not our fate, whether our journey is smooth or stormy. Amid laughter and hurdles, love guides us, and the steadfast support of Jesus is our rescue vessel. So stay with us, as together we chart the waters of love, resilience, and faith. See you on the inside. 

Good day to you, dear family…
Yes, family, you and I are clearly seated in His Oneness.
In Him, we are as close as a cup of coffee shared amongst friends.
Let me take a minute here to look over the past couple of episodes with you.
The Lord asked us to PAUSE in episode 161, impromptu PAUSE.
"The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause." —Mark Twain

BREATHE MEDITATION

Together: Let’s breathe in and breathe out. Release in the power of your breathe, release distractions and disappoints, and breathe in Life,
God is still blowing in the nostrils of His children.
Life. Exhale and release.
Pause, feel the issues of the day leave.
Inhale the breathe of Life.
And one more time exhale, from the bottom of your feet, every path you have walked today,
this week or down to the last five minutes. Let go..
Release the sound, the memory, the residual feeling from your body and soul.
Pause.
Now breath in, deeply, allow the LOVE of God to exhale, blow and breathe into your spirit,
Filled and refreshed by the Spirit of God
Your spirit overflows to your emotions and soul,
All the lovely feelers that write the memory of Life.
Spirit overflows to soul, now soul….
Soul….exchange the breathe and flow-over and into the body.
Breathe out
Breath in
Welcome dear family. I bless you. 

Our story begins with me asking the church:
What do you sense God wants us to focus on in the next season? 

the collection of answers were as such

1. Life application: I learn best when we share the stories of our week. How God encouraged and touched us.
2. Soaking and Waiting on the Lord: then what we hear Him say we activate
3. Personal Growth and application:
4. Community Service, Corporate intersession

All wonderful missional desires
What do you sense God wants us to focus on in the next season? Focus? 

SCRIPTURE TREASURE

Jacob Returns to Bethel
Genesis 35: 1-7 passion translation
1God said to Jacob, “Arise, go at once to Bethel, and settle there. Build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau.”
2So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Get rid of every foreign god you have, purify yourselves, and change your clothes. 3Then come with me; let us go up to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God who answered my prayer when I was in distress and whose presence has been with me wherever I have gone.” 4Then they surrendered all the foreign gods they had as well as their earrings. Jacob buried them under the oak tree near Shechem.
5As they made their way to Bethel, a tremendous fear of God fell upon all the cities around them, and no one dared pursue them. 6Jacob and all the people who were with him arrived in the land of Canaan at Luz, now known as Bethel.
7He built an altar there and named it El-Bethel, because it was the place that God had unveiled himself when Jacob was running from his brother.

If life were short, then eternity would loose it's length...

MEET THE BLOGGER >>>

We have been having fun with an array of questions. I self challenged myself to answer over 70 of the most famous interviewer questions. Last weeks question...

This weeks question: 
What is the one thing you fight about most in your romantic relationship? Depends on who you ask? My perspective, Focus and listening. I can't stand being interrupted by cell phones and people surfing the net. DISTRACTION is eating up peoples ability to think, sit and be calm and rightly divide a connection and communication. 

I will ask you this, what do you think the Lord wants us to focus on in this next season? comment below...​

I am so glad that you are here. I do not believe in happenstance. God always has a purpose. Welcome.
