The Promise of Transformation

I am not sure anyone ever questions that a tomato will turn red. From its gangly green stalk to its delicate yellow flower, the idea, the goal is always the same.  A red tomato. Sooner or later. We watch for them because we have “faith” that it will become what it was planted to do.

As this tomato ripened on my deck, going from green to red, I watched the gradual change. I couldn’t discern the change daily. But over a “season” of time, it warmed up and graduated into its best self, a vibrant red beauty.

All of nature does this “ripening” process. Going from one stage to another, but always with a certain goal.  For sure there inhibitors—bugs, lack of rain, ground rot. Life. But none of these deter the goal for which the plant was created.

We were created for the process of transformation. We all get to watch and observe the miracle of God in us. We may not be able to see it daily. But God is “ripening” all of us. In due time, we will able to see His life revealed in us. His goal is that we would be seen for who we were always intended to be: His vibrant beauties. It is His great promise to all His children.

I’m sure now I’ll see God’s goodness
      in the exuberant earth.
   Stay with God!
      Take heart. Don’t quit.
   I’ll say it again:
      Stay with God.

Psalm 27: 13-14,  The Message

Perfect love casts out fear.” We want to learn how to live in this place for a lifetime.

“The Marriage Makeover” – Marriage Retreat – January 22 – 24, 2010

NOTE : THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR JANUARY 22-24, 2010

Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins
and will raise up the age-old foundations;
you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,
Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.
Isaiah 58: 12

Every marriage needs renovation. Some need ground zero rebuilding. Most need a little help with the how-to’s. But all marriages need a renewed vision of the goal, God’s blueprints for lasting friendship, and intimacy.

This retreat led by Author/Speaker Jana Spicka will explore how neglect causes long term damage to our marriages but also how we can redesign and repair broken walls day by day. This is two days to talk to God and to your mate. It is not fluff and activities; but time to take a spiritual marriage inspection and create a God centered plan for how to build a marriage masterpiece.
