Transformation, Devotion, Establishment

Remember the in 2010  the theme for SEALS was Grass Roots grow into Tall Shoots.. In 2012 SEALS theme was Arise and Shine.  In retrospective the SEAC Women's Ministry will have their first Women's Retreat this coming weekend.  May we all continue to uplift one another in authenticity, affirmation and devotion as we come before the Lord with unveiled faces. 

Transformation

2 Corinthians 3
 17.  Nww the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom.  
18.  And we who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.  


Devotion

Jeremiah 30
21. "Their leader will be one of their own;their ruler will arise from among them.  I will bring him near and he will come close to me, for who is he who will devote himself to be close to me?" declares the Lord.
22.  "So you will be my people, and I will be your God."  

Esatblishment

Psalms 90
1.  Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.  
2.  Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

12.  Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13.  Relent, O Lord! How long will it be?  Have compassion on your servants.  
14.  Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. 
15.  Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.  
16.  May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children.  
17.  May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us, establish the work of our hands for us-yes, establish the work of our hands.

Inside Out

He is working in us on a daily basis, even when we are not in tip top shape.  This was Paul's hope, prayer, and encouragement to the leaders, forerunners, and churches:   Therefore do not loose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, though inwardly we are being renewed day by day.  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. -2 Corinthians 4:16-17 (NIV) He continually works from the inside out. May our mind be set towards kingdom thinking; may this be our prayer this week. Let our prayers humble us as we continue to serve our churches, communities, work place, friends, family, PEOPLE that dwell with us.  He truly gives when we are opened to receiving.

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 no...

Be Prayer, Is Prayer.

Then recently I saw a post on my FB wall about a teacher friend of mine where a student brought a gun onto campus. -I saw am seeing more activism for women in ministry, I am ...
