Awesome Weekend!

Its' Monday morning - and as I've taught in weeks gone by - this is ALSO the day the Lord has made, I'll rejoice and be glad in it!

What an exciting weekend all around! On Friday we hosted the Maricopa Women In Business (WMIB) Holiday Party. It was an great time for everyone to get to know each other and for the husbands to meet each other as well. As always, I enjoyed just getting to know some new people from the Copa!

Saturday was set aside for Oasis' first ever Flavor Women Christmas Tea & Dessert. Over 30 ladies attended and word on the street is that the hostesses out did themselves, Pastor Susan's scones are the best in the world and Nolita Squires spoke with passion and was inspiring! Way to go Flavor Women!!

We desire to be a place that cares for the hurting, the downdrodden and the forgotten. Church - you never cease to amaze me as you come forward asking how you can serve and give. Thank you to the families that have volunteered to adopt another family for Christmas. So many people are going to be blessed this year. There are still more people in need of assistance so please let us know if you have the desire to be a part of this opportunity.

Sunday - we learned that Jehovah Tsidkenu is the Lord our Righteouseness. It sounds churchy but the bottom line is that He is always right, always straight on the path and he offers this all to us! He wants you and I to return to the path of righteousness and most importantly - don't forget to wear your robe! When He sees you - he sees the robe you have been given to cover up all the past, the struggle, the addictions and more! For those who have made Christ your Savior and Lord - "we are the righteousness of Christ". I don't know about you - but I am glad that when God looks at me, he doesn't see me but rather he sees the righteousness he had deposited in the core of who I am!


Finally - Hydrate Student Minsitries had an incredible night as they had their final teaching by Chad & Mandie Platt. They were "Submerged" as they looked at the Great Commission. Next week is going to be a huge celebration and learning about the new and exciting things coming up in 2008!

Have a blessed week my friends
