Officially first FMC Twitter Bishop! #FMTwitter

A great start to my week with these brothers in prayer and planning, being made one by the Spirit. #fmtwitter

“I’m increasingly disenchanted with ‘me-sized’ things, and longing for more God-sized things. I want to see the rule and reign of Jesus, the presence, the power of God’s Spirit, breaking into human history and situations - the kingdom of God.”-Lectio 365 My whole being says amen.

“I pray now for the Church, that the instruments of dead religion, accusation, quarrelling, and strife would be silenced within the family of God. May everything that hinders love be removed.” -Lectio 365 May my prayer be set before you like incense… Ps 141:2

I got to spend time yesterday learning again from this amazing leader, wonderful mentor and encourager, and Spirit-filled follower of Jesus. If you know her, you know she’s a gift to the church and people like me! #bishopselfie #standingonhershoulders

How many women’s bishop shirts do you think they sell in a year? It’s getting real #fmtwitter

Tomorrow I get to preach in our series on faith questions about 1 Timothy 2:11-12, should women teach in the church? There won’t be a whole lot of suspense with this one😁

Everyone’s favorite, bowling the Bishop! I’ve loved this team dearly and been blessed and formed by the time spent together. We’ve prayed, cried and had a lot fun, but above all, we’ve shared a front row seat to God at work. Apparently they were supposed to move me diagonally😉

Come Holy Spirit transform my heart, mind, soul, and strength so that my consecration becomes your demonstration; that our lives become your sanctuary. For the glory of God our Father, amen. - JD Walt, The Wake Up Call

My aim each day is to adore God more than anything else. -AW Tozer I want to love you Lord, my God, with all my heart, all my soul, and all my mind. Help me, Spirit, in the power and authority of Jesus’ name, amen.

Selfless service for the sake of unity, cooperation and mutual support at Global Wesleyan Alliance - thanks Jim Lyon #nonefiner

Where is the Life we have lost in living? TS Eliot “Christ didn’t come to make us look alive, but rather to give us life. The promise is not merely in what can be seen, but instead in what is True.” Good words by Amie Cross in today’s Biola Advent Project ccca.biola.edu

I’ve been practicing noticing. Yesterday it was goats in pink coats, and I was delighted with life imitating the art of a Sandra Boynton board book. May you be delighted and grateful today!

We find - like Mary - that God visits us, and asks: Will you let me dwell in you and remake you?… Our task is simply to become a residence for the life of Christ, a doorway, through which he will make his love known to the world. ccca.biola.edu/advent/2023/?u…

And it got much worse than it was 6 hours ago. Lines stretching the length of the terminal to get help bc phone wait times were hours and hours for some. Thankfully I didn’t need checked bags or an agent assist, but it’s going to be 3 days of delay if tomorrow is a go.

My rebooked flight for today is at 12:59pm. Because #Delta is following a very precise time schedule 🙄
