I have been spending a lot of time thinking about the future and all the big changes that this year holds for me, my oldest going off to college, and plans for several big events coming up. I am thankful for the reminder that I do need to plan but to enjoy today. Appreciate your thoughts and insights. Good timing on this blog for me!!

Let Beth know I would be right there w/ her and the kids picking those shells. I used to use the larger shells to cover my eyes so I wouldn't get that bar mark from the eye wear protectors people would purchase. I was being a good steward :-). Love the analogy Tom.

]]> Comment on Restoring Relationships by Dee Proietto http://riovistachurch.com/restoring-relationships/#comment-371 Dee Proietto Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:14:31 +0000 http://riovistachurch.com/?p=1862#comment-371 This journey is life changing. Everyone on the planet has been wounded in some area of their lives from childhood. You will get in touch with the wound and see how it still effects your relationships today. The Holy Spirit walks us through a journey of the heart for healing and transformation. "Time doesn't heal wounds, only a deep journey through them with God can heal you." I am praying that everyone in our church will be at this seminar. My husband, daughter and son in law have done this study as well and it has truly changed our relationships to a deeper more intimate place of honesty, and validation. We haved learned "minimual conflick quick resolve". We are looking at doing "restoring relationships" from the Trees of Hope house this year as well. This journey is life changing.

Our children teach us so much don't they. What a great thought about how God looks at us and loves us enough to fix the brokenness!!

(ugh...speaking of villians....)....sorry Matt! Very good point you made - us humans tend to put soo much emphasize on and energy in those things that don't last. We are soo temporal and sight oriented. Thank God for His word and for reminding us there is a much bigger party coming! :) Go Dolphins! (ugh…speaking of villians….)….sorry Matt!

I am encouraged by this format of keeping in touch with the members and staff. I have not seen this in any other church setting.....or community of members.
