Spring is Here!

I can't believe that my last post was in February!!

Where does the time go? One reason I haven't been writing much lately is the advent of spring! Its been a long, cold winter that doesn't seem to want to give up even in April. Regardless, its 70 sunny degrees on this day and I'm knee-deep in preparing my garden for the summer.

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that I will resume posting teachings from The River next week. We've had a couple of fabulous weeks together during Holy Week. The teaching times were a little different and harder to capture on audio so we didn't even try!

God keeps amazing us in so many different ways. We're discovering depths of His love for us that before we only heard were possible. We're experiencing a depth of community and commitment for each other because of that love that's beyond our understanding...but its REAL. For the first time in my 44 years, I'm finding that it IS possible to experience community like the church in Acts.

I'm so grateful for my God and the community in which He has placed me. The words of the Richardo Sanchez song express my desire to go even deeper into God and into true, redemptive community:

I'm not going back
I'm moving ahead
I'm here to declare to You
My past is over
In You all things are made new
I've surrendered my life to Christ
I'm moving
Moving forward!

For the Kingdom,
Marc
