Back for more...

Well...

As promised, I am back for some more BLOGGING this week! This would mean POST #2 of this week! It's been a very productive week! In-Laws have headed home (not that that is productive!) / Wrote my EASTER MESSAGE, and just about to send Ginger off to our first ever COC Women's Retreat (Extravagant Love) in Williams, AZ! We have well over 30 ladies from the Church heading up for a 3 day Retreat! Should be a great time for them!

Isaac & Caleb are finishing up school today, and next week is SPRING BREAK! Can you believe that they went SWIMMING yesterday in the pool for the first time! Isaac was STOKED! Gotta love the ARIZONA HEAT! It's warming up quite a bit around here! I've been wearing my "FLIPS" again, and you know I love that!

This weekend we are concluding our SOUL STEALERS Series! It's been GREAT! We are launching a new ministry at the COC called CELEBRATE RECOVERY right on the heels of this Series to help those engulfed in a SOUL STEALER! It launches on MARCH 21st, please be in prayer for our LEADERS and those who have signed up!

SUNDAY SNAPSHOT...
I missed last week, so for a recap...WHEN EXPECTATIONS AND REALITY COLLIDE! We focused in on DAVID & GOLIATH! What a great week! We associated the battle of David when he encountered his SOUL STEALER (Goliath) and his planned strategy of attack! He faced it head on and never backed down! We used some info from Max Lucado's Book (Facing Your Giants)! The people recieved this message well, and we had close to 10 people sign up for CELEBRATE RECOVERY!

This week, we conclude the SERIES with a message called...IT'S ALL ABOUT FAITH! We are in the book of DANIEL 3 this week, talking about the "WHAT THEN" moments the Hebrew Boys (Shadrach / Meshac / Anednego) encountered with the psycotic king - Nebuchadnezzar!

Another SOUL STEALER moment that we all face - when head on with our SOUL STEALER, the question we must ask..."WHAT THEN?" THE STEP TO UNDERSTAND IT’S ALL ABOUT FAITH – AND TO TRUST GOD & FIND FREEDOM FROM YOUR SOUL STEALER!

These guys had to MAKE A CALL in the heat of the moment, they had to ‘place there bets’ on the spot, on…THE GOD WHO IS ABLE, or the KING who thought he was!!!

ARE YOU WILLING TO TRUST THE GOD WHO IS ABLE TO CONTROL THE FUTURE?
–OR-
ARE YOU GOING TO TRUST THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT APPEAR TO BE IN CONTROL OF THE PRESENT?
