There's a tree in my backyard.

When Danielle was born in October of 1992, my wife insisted that we plant a tree.  I remember doing it in the spring the following year at our new place.  That tree today is some 30 feet tall and in actuality is two trees growing very close together.  I wanted to prune one, but my Annie wouldn't let me, so there the two trees are reaching for the sky, side by side.  When you look at them from the porch outside our house you can't help but notice that they lean to the right as the sun is often gobbled up by the majestic trees that sit just north of these thriving two bean poles.  You can hardly see the leaves on these trees as they have had to go so high before putting out branches left and right.  As this was brought back to my memory, I am considering some of my favorite stones - which are part of my bedrock, "I am the True Vine - My Father is the husbandman."

Welcome

Dear Friend,

We know that visiting a church can be intimidating.  At Faith Exchange we make it our priority to make you feel welcome.  Of everything on earth, God places his greatest value on people. They are priority No.1 for Him. People are the very heartbeat of God. Job 7:17-18 asks, “What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?”

God paid an awesome price for man. “For God so loved [valued, prized, honored, esteemed, cared for His man]…that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16, NKJV). Acts 10:28 tells us that the church of God was purchased with God’s own blood. What value He places on us!

Here at Faith Exchange we are passionate about pursuing God, loving people, and impacting the world.  We hope to meet soon!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!!

Are you too Comfortable?

Why were you looking for Me among my earthly family, in the activities of my daily life? Didn’t you know that that has nothing to do with who I truly am? I am a Kingdom Builder, like My Father. If you want to find the real Me, find the Kingdom first. (All for One and One for all.) Forget about your own wants and needs; don’t follow your stomach, follow My words and those of My Father.

Following Yahshua -- Being transformed.

The more love that you receive the more that you will have to distribute.  As I sit here with people everywhere rushing to do the things they do, I put my ear pieces in and I find myself deep within Him - in that secret place - where no evil can reach me and plague befall me.  I am not afraid.  I am not at odds and I am not competing.  I am contemplating giving and loving, being and learning.  I am listening very carefully for next steps and for the voice that gives life and love.  I need love.  I need the love that only He gives so that I can be sure that you have it.  I see now that I am to become a refining fire.  i am to be sure that those He has sent to me receive LOVE - the LOVE that gives the life that purges, refines, prunes and defines.

 

Shelley said to me today that she can feel the softness that has been given me of late.  She has recognized more kindness, gentleness and sensitivity.  She can feel it when I speak to my Annie and she says that if YHWH can change me, there is hope for her.  I need more of this.  I need more.

    • HAPPY BIRTHDAY

      Hey there Dan...A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!!! I just find the origins of names interesting and why things are called a called name...Like the month of JUNE for example....It is named after the Roman goddess Juno (Greek goddess Hera). They believed it was the best month for marriage, (even I was married in June unknowing...lol...) ...Juno being the goddess of marriage. This is because there are a lot of rainbows in the month of June and the goddess of rainbows was Iris, Junos messenger who was always with her. Rainbows have always been a fascination to us because of their beauty and their Biblical significance...Even on youtube they have this guy out in the woods who is fascinated after seeing "Double Rainbow" ...lol...( It is a very funny video if you havent seen it yet)...It has received over 2 million hits! ( you may find yourself laughing and crying at the same time listening to this guy!
