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.

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,...

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 ...

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.
