To Our "Home" Church Family


Walking Into Our Destiny
Oil Pastel by Chris Tracy

There once was a little boy and a little girl.
They loved playing in creeks and walking mountain trails.
She loved writing and taking pictures. He loved building things and blowing things up.
They grew up and got married and had a family. They lived in a little home they built themselves and raised their babies – human and animal. They loved and loved and loved – each other, their children, their friends.
They dreamed about building cozy log cabins for happy people who wanted to live a simpler life on mountain creeks and in colorful canyons.
Their dream came true, but after a while, it was taken from them. 
Sad and confused, they turned to the One who created them.
Slowly, he restored them. Lovingly, he healed their hearts. Happily, He loved them back to wholeness, dreaming new dreams with them.
And there were people who believed in their new dreams. The people loved them and cheered for them and sent them to where God was calling them.
Today, the girl still loves writing and taking pictures. The boy still loves building things and blowing things up. But now, they know who they are and Who they belong to. They know how to listen to the still small voice. They can’t help but tell others how good their Papa is.
The boy and girl are happy. They are filled, blessed, fed, clothed, healed and warmed. They are ready for more adventures – confident in the One who knows them best and trusting His purposes for them. Life is good.
