Sunday Experience & rest of the week / Experiencia de Domingo & resto de la semana

1. Every time I have an opportunity to take time off from daily duties and actually get away from office, home and weekly activities-I always return, not only refresh, but eager to communicate God's message. Sunday was one of those days as we continue our "Passion Series" on the 7 words of Jesus from the cross. I've spent time this morning praying for our spiritual community as I asked them yesterday to seriously open up their hearts to the message by learning the principle of LOVE & SUFFERING.

2. I've been doing vocational ministry for more than 20 years, serving in many churches with many people in a variety of areas; but seeing my first-born taking an active role in leading, serving and participating in the body of Christ goes beyond anything I've seen or experienced before. God is so faithful and our investment through parenting and relationships is actually paying off. The best is yet to come!

3. Traveling to Corpus over Spring Break wasn't only refreshing and fun but it also reaffirming as we travel through places and locations where 6 years ago, The Journey became a dream and later a huge step of faith. Have I mentioned how faithful God really is? Seriously, if you aren't living and trying goals that require a God intervention, I'm not sure you are dreaming with God.

4. Here's last Sunday's Video "Journey vs. Destination" Part 2 of Easter Series "The Passion"

5. I can feel the pressure of such a busy and exciting week. My personal and daily schedule is challenging every week, yet I enjoy every opportunity God opens up to serve Him and others.

Hope your week goes well!
