UP!

Last night, Jorge, Maya, my in-laws & I went out to a delicious dinner and then over to watch "UP". I had been looking forward to seeing it! I love the Pixar movies, Monster's Inc. and Finding Nemo are incredible! Although I don't think it was as good as either of those two, this one didn't disappoint either. It seemed to have a bit more adult themes than the others have. It made me laugh out loud and reach for tissues. Definitely worth seeing.

Without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it, I will say that it exposes how many of us hold on to the past so tightly that we can't grab the 'right now'. I've done it and still have one area in my life where I have to CONSTANTLY make a conscience effort to not live that way! This quote is a great reminder:

It's Good to be Home!

'It's so good to be home!', those were Jorge's words as he walked through the door this evening! He had a tough day at work today and couldn't wait to come home. After 10 or 15 minutes of decompressing, putting on some 'comfy' clothes, and talking to Maya, I was able to see his whole demeanor change. He'd (literally) let out a huge sigh of relief! He was HOME! Don't we all just want to have that feeling?

My new church, Two Rivers Church South Florida hasn't opened it's doors yet but we do meet in Small Groups and I know these people. They are my 'framily'! So, do I know exactly what 2RC looks like structurally? No. BUT, I know what it feels like! It really does feel like 'coming home'!

~ 2 Rivers Church South Florida~

I am sitting here, excited and anxiously anticipating the launch of my new church, Two Rivers Church South Florida! It could be your church too!

The church is being led by two godly, trustworthy men that I feel privileged to know! I am thrilled that they will not only be spiritual leaders and teachers to Jorge and me but also to my daughter! Along with her father's example Maya will also have two other examples of what good Christian men are! I look forward to serving with both Pastor Steve Pridmore & his wife, my friend, Amy and Pastor Neal de Jesus & his beautiful wife, Lourdes!

It will be a place where we will be fully committed to following Christ, and to leading others to Him. We will go out into our community and serve!! We will be a family friendly, fun place that your children will want to attend and be a part of! Let's do life together in a way that the Lord intended!

As we see the Lord's hand driving this church forward, my prayer is that it continues to be 100% God-driven and that He continues to bless us!
Please pray with me!!
