Transformation Communities - Yakima

I’m guilty of this. You get to the end of the week and wonder where all the time went. It’s a blur.

I read today that there is a difference between ACTIVITY and ACCOMPLISHMENT. We can easily get wrapped up in staying busy instead of focused on doing things that really mean something.

Happy Monday! Go out there and live with intentionality and purpose this week.

Recently, my wife and I headed out on a road trip for a ministry training in L.A. from where we live in WA state. We got to the Oregon Coast and discovered the training had been canceled.

We were looking forward to the extra time together, seeing friends while in CA, and finally meeting our learning cohort in person.

The pivot!

- We extended our stay on the OR Coast for some much needed rejuvenation & reflection.
- We were able to make a last minute trip to Seattle to visit my brother.
- We even went back down to the Portland, OR area overnight for a vacation bookend of outlet shopping & adventure.

The lesson we learned? Never simply assume that when God puts a blockade in your path that he’s not simultaneously making a detour available with a completely new destination.

The pandemic is teaching us to try new things, to be flexible in planning our days, and discover new ways to rest & refuel.

How about YOU? How are you changing things up in a world of social distancing, Zoom calls, face coverings, and hand sanitizer?

Whether it’s your family, coworkers, neighbors, church.... whatever your tribe looks like.
That’s your COMMUNITY.

RECEIVE from it.
CONTRIBUTE to it.
NOURISH it.

How do YOU lean into community?
