Words

SEALS 2012 was.... generated by Wordle.net
For all who attended SEALS 2012, and to the ones that were not able to attend.  These are the words that influence us today as we have departed one another.  With these words we become a living testimony by Truth Is, and by Spoken Word.

For those who have returned home to an avalanche of reality, be courageous.  Our fear is not about our doubt, its about our futility, the feeling of being useless or ineffective.  It's healthy to be doubtful, sad, mournful, heavy-hearted, in pain, broken, stressed; these are feelings that the Father created, emotions that He also feels. He also created compassion, joy, empathy, redemption, surrender so that we would rely on Him as a source.

This words collaged above represent how attendees felt leaving SEALS 2012.  Be empowered by these words.  May our words continually be edified and may we continue to be bold in our ministries

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6

An Apple Pie Prayer Life

I went to Mt. Hermon to Cabin lead this past June/July. There was an illustration that one of the speakers, Tim Lee, gave that really helped me re-evaluate my relationship with God, being a visual learner, illustrations really help. He gave the Apple Pie Message. He was talking to his mentor, discussing (Tim's) recent revelations in both their spiritual walk with God.  Tim was saying that, if his life was like a pie graph, his time was/is split into so many slices, and noticed that each portion is much larger than his "God Slice".  He mentioned that 25% was for sleep, 33% was for social media, studies, work, and emails, 20% was for friends and family, and 20% was for fun, and minimally a 2% for God - morning quiet time, and prayer before meals and bed.  He asked his mentor what wisdom he could have to help him learn to manage and balance out his life and get the pie slices to be more even. His mentor replied,  "Pie is really good, I love pie, so Tim, what is y

Day 4: SEALS 2012 Arise and ShineToday

Family Mosaic, Creative Arts Worship, a mosaic of our communion time together. Today concludes SEALS 2012. The morning began with cultural breakout groups to reflect and debrief the weekends experiences, lessons, and blessings.  Afterwards we moved into powerful morning of worship.  The mosaic cross of the broken pottery from the night before stood up as a symbol of our communion together as a family, and one tribe, under the Kingdom of Christ. Worship Team! James Choung came back speaking on how to fuel our drams.  He gave many helpful points that would equip us on how to re-approach our dreams and ministries with a new perspective.  -We are to be God watchers, similar to birdwatchers who from a far can recognize the voice of a speck in the sky, as well as admire the  bird in its beauty up close.  If we are like birdwatchers, we can recognize what God is doing in front of our eyes.   -Do know, do we live, do we have an expectation that God is breaking in to our dai

Super Bloom in California

Have you ever heard the term SUPERBLOOM ?   What is it?   This is the newest frenzy for Californians in the last two weeks.   In all thirty some years of my life, I have never heard this term outside of the 60’s peace era. My social media pages and face-to-face conversations have been filled with eyewitnesses of “super bloom” Super Bloom, Lake Eleanor, CA :  photo by  @mirandajonez National Geographic Magazine defines “ super bloom” as “a colloquial term used to define an explosion of wildflowers that exceeds typical spring blooms.
