Daily Time with God!!!!

Okay So we have all agreed that it is important to spend daily intimate time with God. But how do we incorporate this into our BUSY lives!!! Well, thank goodness for technology right? Texting plays a HUGE part in all of our lives so as we discussed last night, we will beging to use our texting to hold one another accountable. So Guys and Gals~ Have fun with this texting thing. Make your text messages memorable (as with the potty story), because you never know it may be your next conversation starter!

 

 

 Much Love to you ALL

How to Put Things First

Hey friends! Sorry we missed you this week but we are on vacation! Also I am flogging on my phone cuz internet is not working here and my phone has autocorrect so beware of any weird words that don't seem to fit. I know this doesn't go along with this week's session (I am guessing since we weren't there) but after this week, I really feel challenged regarding discipline and the idea of "Delayed Gratification". Chloe has really been challenging these past several months. She used to be my very sweet girl. Lately she has been, well, just outright disrespectful. TJ and I are at the end of our patience with her. Then I started to realize that it takes discipline to discipline. I realized that there was a lack of consistency and follow through..not always but pretty regularly. For me, it was a reflection of what I believe my life has been over the past several years. For instance, the week we dis 2proapt, I did it that week but haven't done it since. My running has not done as well as I wanted since being on vacation which many people might expect because hey, I'm on vacation! But for me, again, its a reflection of the life I have become accustomed to. I figured out why I have trouble with this. A breakthrough. A lightbulb. I am not disciplined because I have trouble with delayed gratification. I want Chloe to listen to me right then and there. I don't want to take the time to establish the rules and help her learn them and follow through on them. I have slacked on running because I am not being instantly gratified with weight loss. So anyhow of was a realization about myself that I am going to start figuring out how to resolve through this group. Anyhow my phone is about to die so I am going to sign off. Please pray for our safe travel back. See you all on the 7th!

LIVE IT OUT- Week Two!

This week we Chip spoke to us about the Peace & Power of a Prioritized Life. He asked us to Live it out by setting aside 20 min for at least 5 days this week to spend time with God. During these 20 min we are to READ either the book of Mark (for the newer Christian) or the Book of James (for the older Christian- this does not designate older age wise. this pertains to your spiritual walk and where you are within the faith). We are to read either of the books using that 2PROAPT process that Chip talked described. 

Kam and I look forward to hearing how this experience will change your relationship with Jesus Christ.

Luv ya bunches!

Living it out...

Kam and I had our talk today and initially we thought that we had different ideas as to what’s most important. Kam expressed that "calmness" holds high priority in his life, he wants to live a life free of stress, confrontation, and would like the freedom to operate by his own clock. I on the other hand, hold "PEACE" at a very high standard in my life. I seek to live a life free of rushing around…feeling as if my wings are flapping as fast as those of the humming bird.  I have found that I can hold on to peace when I am living in the realms set by Jesus Christ. However, once I step outside of Him and the boundaries that He has set, my life turns into a chaotic mess. After further discussion Kam and I realized that we both prioritize the same things, but that we describe those using different words. We both want to live inside the realm of Jesus, we both seek to obey that commands what He has set forth for us. Kam and I agree that the societal impacts from today’s world attempt to set us apart from GOD, causing us to work harder and harder to stay connected to Him. Much Luv ~K&V

PS. Cant wait to here from all of you!!! :)

We look forward to reading how each of your conversations plays out and how the Holy Spirit with move and speak to each of you this week.
