Walking a new road - GRACE

I was reflecting today on Paul's encounter with God on the road that changed his life. We can have a wrong image of God and that can lead us down a wrong road. I so hunger for God to continue to reveal himself to me. It seems that I need that continually or I find myself inserting my made up reflection of God and that can lead me down a wrong road.

I am so glad that we are doing this together. I can't wait for next week when we will have devotions written by many of you. And the fast is coming YEAH!!! No, really.

Plan on coming to Neewollah for some fun this Friday (and candy) --- the fast is coming.

see you then

Getting connected in community

Part of the goal of the Reveal series is to allow God to reveal himself in our lives in community. We want to do this together. On Sunday night, the 19th, we are have a gathering called "Talk about it". If you feel a little disconnected, looking to get to know some people better or desire to hear what God is doing at Real Life and in the lives of people; man, let me tell ya, don't miss out on this!

I can feel disconnected. I want to get to know some people better- soooo I really need you! So come on help a brother out, ok? I don't want to go through life alone. I want to share this amazing crazy journey. I NEED YOU! No guilt though, ok? I don't want to whine! I am just passionate about what God is doing. Can't wait to get together.

P.S. I am bringing some killer Chili. (mild, I have a delicate palette)

See you there

P.S.S. The picture doesn't really match what I'm talking about, but I think it's cute- My baby girl is growing up.

Lessons from the trail

WOW! Hells canyon was awesome. That was the toughest trip I have ever been on.

You can learn a lot through difficulty. When you are in unknown territory, you have to follow a trail. Water- it seems so simple but run out of it and it becomes the biggest thing on your mind. I am so glad I was not alone, the truth is I would not of made it home by myself! Life is meant to be shared, our faith journey is meant to be shared.

In the coming weeks I invite you to join me in community as we ask God to reveal Himself to us. When God reveals Himself, He also reveals things about ourselves- unknown territory.

What do you want God to reveal to you about Himself?
What do you want God to reveal to you about youself?

Are you ready to experience something great? Then lets head into unknown territory and allow God to REVEAL.
