Sunday

Sunday- God moved in amazing ways. Ken and Lynelle were such an example of the power of God's grace. It is open to each one of you-a free gift. God spoke to me of his Great Love.

Sunday- My friend, officer Mark Zlawy lost his life. My grief was so great. My heart was broken for Patty and the kids. We cried together and held each other. In it all, God's grace was there. His peace in the midst of the storm was so strong. God is not a concept- HE IS REAL.

At his house we talked about Mark and his son Dawson getting baptised at Real Life. I did not lose a friend, I know where he is.

God 's word says, "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can’t, and life can’t. The angels can’t, and the demons can’t. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can’t keep God’s love away. Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:38 -39 (NLT)

The Passages of our lives

I miss you Marko- see ya when I get there.

Looking Ahead

January is a time for me to look ahead. What is it that I want to be able to look back next year and see? The things that I really put my focus on tend to be the things that actually get done.

So what is it that I want in the new year?

1-Connect with an increasing # of people who are far from God.
2-Engage more people in serving others at Real Life
3-Provide opportunity for people to grow together
4-Grow the Real Life Family
5-Encourage everyone to trust God with their finances
6-Follow God's vision with reckless abandon

Just a few things but what would happen if we accomplished all of these?

I know God is Big enough. I know we are on the right track. I know that now is the time. So here we go - are you with me? Are you ready to have your life blessed like never before?
God is up to something Good!

blogging again

Hi everyone,

Blogging again...I want to share with you during the coming year on a regular basis some of the things that are happening in my life and in the life of the church. Everyday there seems to be something new happening.

I know that God is preparing all of us for something awesome this year.

I have some questions for you.

Are you expecting God to use you this year? You can be the key to what God wants to do in someone's life.

What would you like God to do at real life?

Who are you praying for to draw close to God?



As we expect God to move our eyes are open to what he is doing.
