Have you been confused or even frustrated by God for anything? Of course you have! Unless you are Jesus and perfectly one with God, you have been confused or frustrated by God. But why? Because God doesn’t work the way we do. He doesn’t use the people we would. He doesn’t use the method we […]
I went to the Southcenter Mall yesterday after stopping by a bookstore nearby. There, I worked on my laptop for a while, and then I decided to browse through the stores. It is one of the nicest and biggest malls around here. And even though it was middle of a weekday, there were a lot […]
Good afternoon everyone, Genesis 29: 34,35-Again she conceived and bore a son, and said, “Now this time my husband will be attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi. And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “This time I will praise the Lord .” […]
Why is it that if Jesus is the greatest treasure there is, we have to convince ourselves of it rather than it feeling natural? I’m being real here.

Live like you’ve lost everything! In one sense, I am so afraid to lose what I have – house, car, job, family, etc. In another sense, I’d be so free if I had nothing. Nothing but Christ, that is…. I wonder what mindset I would be in if indeed I lost everything. Say a fire […]
It is so American to demand our rights. And when our rights are violated, we are incensed! For example, a silly thing like when we cut someone off while driving, we can expect honking and evil stare. If you are ever not given the promotion that you think you deserved, then you think about quitting […]
Good morning As 1 Family! Have you ever fell, or went through a really rough season spiritually where you felt completely discouraged and even possibly defeated all together? You could not muster the strength to even think to witness or encourage someone else because you felt like you had nothing to give and the thought […]
Good afternoon As 1 Family! Its been just a little over a week since the mission team left and I’m sure we all miss our daily devotionals! I love that each journey we take as a church family we grow stronger and more united. It has been phenomenal to experience all the giving and support […]
