“I was pretty sure I understood what God was asking me to do. I was obedient. I took the next steps…but now I’m wondering if I got it all wrong. Instead of things going right they seem to be getting worse!” Sound familiar? We think we understand what God is asking of us, but the…

Friend or Brother?
Remember back in the day the teacher would assign a topic and then we would have to write an essay and hopefully get good marks when we turned the paper in? I am glad those days are over, and today prefer to be organic – if it means something to me I will share it,…
He Sees You!
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emLH07k–s0] It’s quite strange how life comes at us with interesting situations that we can’t figure out or understand, and proceed to think we are the only ones going through whatever it is that is troubling us.

In the month of March, there was an event hosted by Breaking Chains Ministries here in North County. The premise of the event was “breakfast in the park” with “loaves and fishes”.
