    HOPE : discovering true solution

    Trust : consider who He is

    Be encouraged to deepen your trust in God. Consider who he is based on the evidence written in the word and in the testimonies of believers and you'll find your Trust in him deepens. Our trust grows into faith when we learn to not rely on our eyes but rather the Promise-keeper's faithfulness to take us by the hand and lead us through the disorienting woods of life on a broken world. Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 a note from Sarah: There was so much richness in our "table family discussion", but the recording could not pick up most of it. I encourage you to find a "family" that allows you to reflect and share your faith. Together, we grow wilder! Worship:  “Consider Him” UPPERROOM, Abbie Gamboa “New Wine” Hillsong Worship

    The Garden : the comfort of home

    When we develop our understandings of who God is and what He has done and continues to do for us, we gain spiritual wisdom and intimacy with the Holy Spirit: aka "the comforter". May this discussion remind you that coming home to the Father is--not only the ultimate comfort-- it's what allows your life to grow wild with truthful purpose and powerful action. May these words comfort your discomfort as "Perfect love casts out all fear." (1 John 4:18) worship: "The Garden" Kari Jobe "At the Table" Josh Garrels Note from Sarah: Thank you for your grace as I learn to use this public platform to encourage and inspire, but always where my words can easily be mistaken and misrepresented. To be clear- in no way do I mean to discourage you from therapy, medications or doctors or any other valuable resource for health. I will be more clear on n the future in this topic! I often encourage others to seek God’s council, order and his will through prayer first and sometimes forget to make a disclaimer statement that these wonderful people are also valuable ways God will indeed bless us with health solutions. I am often speaking on the solutions we don’t reach for first. Often God and prayer are our last resort not our first. Please don’t misunderstand my encouragement as a reason to disregard medical doctors as an adequate solution. God bless our brilliant doctors, therapists and medicine! “Raising the dead” may not look like Lazarus, and it may look like restoring life to places we thought to be hopeless and dead. We are called and empowered to speak life into dead situations.

    Dreams II : communicating with heaven

    How will we be able to obey God's call on our lives if we are unable or unwilling to hear from him? How can we allow heaven to lead us, protect us and carry us into the full fruition of our life's very important purpose unless we embrace what makes the impossible become possible? Curious? GOOD! Let's take a walk on the wild side, and explore the most valuable gift ever given to any of us: the Holy Spirit.
